I am also restoring a Ferguson 2 Furrow Mouldboard Plough here in Queensland AUSTRALIA. The plough will on completion require a New ID Plate. Were you able to locate a supplier who is able to supply a New Ferguson ID Plate for the plough. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Steve

Comment on Engine idling returned to normal by René

Hello Tim,

There is the mechanical stop under the dash. Adjusting that would be the “by the book” way to sort this problem. It is however important that this stop is set acuratly to avoid putting strain on the linkages and the throtle valve spindle. Make shure that stop is set so that it stops the hand control just as the stop on the throtle valve is contacted.

Regards,

René.

Hello Tim,

The anti-surge device (the bit in the listle housing at the end of the governor with the two cheese head screws) also has an influence on the idling speed. Has that been reset to stop some surging ?. If so you will have to alter the idle setting to compensate.

Regards,

René.

Comment on Roy – I have a new Tractor! by René

Hello Roy,

Nice project !. It looks like it will take a bit of time but should turn out good.

I spotted the tow ball on the back. Is that supported at the bottom end ?.

Regards,

René.

Hi Gents
I,m from australia and am in the prosses of restoring a tef20 4 cylynder desiel and i am having a big problem getting info and you all seem very switched on.
My problem is with the injector pump governor at the rear of the pump.It,s all flogged out and i can repair that but the piese that runs from the throttel lever into the diaphram was a nail and i need to replace it to do the job correctly.
What i,m after is a diagram (picture) of how the assembly works and what parts i will need to make
hope some one can help

Hi Tim,
Why not use no1 pipe and push a flexible plastic pipe (windscreen washer tubing) over the end to form the “swan”. What you are trying to achieve is an indicator where the vernier coupling will only fit when the sprockets are in line and the pump has reached cut off and no longer allows fuel to pass. You then have fine adjustment by rocking the pump body. Took me a while to appreciate whats going on till the penny dropped.

Regards,
Dennis

Hello Tim,

You can use the no 1 pipe but it makes judging when it’s “almost there” more difficult.

René.

Well done Tim,
Its a great job, I’m still working away on my TEF but I’m not as far along as you! I still marvel at what you were able to accomplish in that poky little garage!
I think you should certainly have a go at painting the rest of the bits. It would be a shame to leave them given that you have come this far. Plus, what are all of us going look at now that you are finished! Its only a small detail but I think the narrower front wheels, that were standard on the fergies, would look much better on your tractor, especially since you have gone to so much effort to keep it original. I think those wheels are off a 35 or a 135. Anyway well done again. Keep us updated with your progress on the paint job.
Damien

Congratulations Tim, I bet you never thought the day would come. Looking forward to the next vid on the first outing!

Hope there are no oil leaks, but if there are, you know how to fix em now. Well done and thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Now where’s me spanners while I feel motivated!

It would be interesting to know what your approximate costs have been for the engine rebuild as a guide for the rest of us wannabe rebuilders.
Best Regards,
Dennis

Comment on 20W-50 Engine oil, by René

René — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:15:23 +0000

Hello Tim,

I just set it to full decompression and cranked using the starter until the oilpressure gauge started showing some life. I did it in intervals of around 30 sec. of starting followed by a minute of cooling time for the starter etc. Can’t remember if it took 2 or three times but was a lot better than the cranking by hand I tried before that. The rebuilt engine proved to be very stiff to turn over. After it had run a few minutes that had allready very greatly improved !.

Regards,

René.

Comment on Number Plate Abroad by René de Bruin

René de Bruin — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 23:21:08 +0000

Hello Tim,

In Holland most tractors where provided with lighting at either the dealership or the import company. Usualy Hella or Bosch bit’s, what ever was easely availeble. Not shure what the lucas kit looks like as we don’t have licence plates on any tractors here except for a few that travel abroad. (mostly close to the german and belgian border)

Hi Tim,

Looked at the pictures again,
I owe you an apology, as it must be there as the bolt is in place on the filter housing.
I was only concerned as the last TEF I “did” was missing this strut and cracked the dash.

Regards Trev
