They are 1/2" in diameter, with the threads of the nuts of the front wheels of the TE 20 (not sure how to describe this thread) and the total length of 45 mm. Those of the front wheels of the TE 20 has only 37 mm in length. They are short. Can you please help me find them ? Hello Tim:

It would be easy enough to buy and modify a drive cable to fit. It's not difficult to dismantle the end of a complete cable and refit your existing end onto it. I have done so several times after buying a supposed 'correct' cable only to find that neither end is the right one. I have re-fitted my original ends onto a new outer cable. Hi,

I watched Your youtube films about assemblig the MIL loader to Your Ferguson. Last autumn I bought a MIL type F3 loader for my Volvo 230 "Viktor". Unfortunately it was loaded, transported and unloaded in almost total darkness so I haven't reaaly yet been able to inspect what I bought. According to the guy that sold it to me all parts should be there. Now it's covered by snow so I´m still not able to look at it. (Yes, the rams are inside not out in the snow...) Now to my question: Is it any chance to get more information about my loader in any way from Britain? As You understand it will be assambeled to the "Viktor" as soon as the spring arrives and it would be nice to know more about it to be able to tell interested people more about the history. I've also got a Volvo T22 1948 and in our village there is a Museum that shows farming equipment, so on our island there is a great interest in tractors. In fact I also own 2 Jaguar Cars, one 1990 XJ40 Sovereign and one 1991 XJ6 (+ my 1970 FIAT 850 Special) BR Roger, Störlinge Borgholm Öland Sweden. Hi.

Yes, the trouble with the Aux Tank. Jeff at silverfox traktor spares serves the Aux tank too as well as the threat reduction for the Fuel tap (in near future). It is this thing, which makes the stop rod go past the Tap. You all might be interested for the information, that there are overhoul kits avaleble for the KiGas pump, with springs, balls and seal rope. Please excause my bad English but if you find a mistake, please keep it in honor. :-) Cheers Peter Hi Tim,

I am restoring a TE 20 I recently purchased. For images from your article it seems that my tractor has a transmission equal to his. The same yellow brass button. Can you please explain me what it is for? And the transmission lever has six positions. 1, 2, 3, 4, "S" and R. What means "S"? Best regards, Luiz Sá Pereira (from Portugal) Hello!

They both have the same connection as yours, the rubber collar has got "Lockheed" printed on it. I had to really tighten and lock the bolt on as it kept comming off. Blue threadlock seems to have cured it. The first time I tried the mower it worked fairly well, I didn't have a Fergie toplink with the hooks nor the stabiliser bar. The toplink makes a huge difference as does the stabaliser bar but I susspect that the one I have is not the correct lenght (to long) if you find one that is the correct lenght let me know and I can check mine.
