All things Ferguson. Ask a question and answer questions from other ferguson enthusiasts. The answer can get you out of a jam or fix a ploblem normally within a couple of hours.
You will need to be a member with a password to get onto this site.
Have a look round the whole site. another interesting I think is the FoFH Market Place, to buy and sell your tractor or parts.

A must for all things FE35 /MF35. Steve and his brother have produced a DVD of how to dismantle and reassemble your 23C Diesel engine. I found it great watching as it also shows how to work out when to replace parts, Whats knackered and what's still good. I'd love to see a DVD for the 20C engine. Even if you don't have a FE35 / MF35, the main site also has questions answered from visitors.

I love this website. I like the way the photo's show the tractors at good angles with a well placed barn or tree in the background.

I especially love the logging section. I can't imagine anything finer than spending the day gathering, chopping and stacking wood. I don't fancy using the Mcconnel sawbench, I thought The Ferguson one looked dangerous but this one health and safety would have a field day. Spring will soon be here and a chance to get out and replenish the wood pile.

Basic website is now up www.rhoddssfarm.co.uk please can you add a link

FUEL / OIL

You can buy fuel in my case Agricultural diesel in 20 Litre containers for £10 (03/2005). Very helpful people. you just have to sign a form to say its for Agricultural use. They also do heating oil so you could get all the items needed to make TVO. I friend has a TVO tractor and I can't wait to have a go at making some.
