Our neighbour had a similar grey Ferguson through the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. His was a petrol paraffin model, started on paraffin then switched over to petrol and was used on his market garden. He also ran a 1950’s K series Bedford 30 cwt lorry to make his deliveries with.
You are a top top man! A very clever man! You should be on tv. These tractors are so sought after! Farmers love them those that have them world wide. Work horses. Well done pete,your the man! Please wear your mask and don't end up like me,take care of your life! 👌
Hi Pete. This tractor is a TEF 20 which were all built with the Freeman - Sanders diesel engine built for the Standard Motor company. So this is not a TVO model and that plunger you said was a TVO adjuster is actually called a Ki-gas pump that sprays a fine mist of diesel into the intake manifold from the auxillary tank to assist cold starting.
You can’t half tell you love that tractor . To be totally Honest so do I . Going to hold you to showcasing the tractor with your extended family. I got see a restored Massey Fergusson a while back and start it up . Hooray for tractors. PS. I just bought a ride on mower for my 14 year old daughter
Okay i know it’s been about a year since this was made only just found and watched it , loved watching it reminds me similar to my youth as well. Keep doing what ya doing fella it’s good to back to our roots. Bless ya guys looking forward to the next one bfn.
Enjoyed the video I stumbled across it earlier! The part you took off the dash is actually the ki gas pump, on the early TEF tractors this was a starting aid that fired diesel over the glow plug through the air intake. The original diesel engine was probably replaced with this one which went in commercial vehicles. I would say your tractor is in fact a TEF diesel model you can tell by serial number above steering wheel if you go on friends of Ferguson site you will be able to tell it's DOM by the numbers 😀
It's a nice little tractor and looks very smart, if all the ki.gas system is there you might be able to connect it up to help with your starting it does help and with the bigger starter you should be cooking on gas 🙂
What the . . . !!!!! Yep, I get where you're coming from, there's something about a little grey Fergie and what a lovely reason to bring her back to life. She's a long way from her original home, bet she's seen a few fields!!!
She actually came from the west country apparently. Because these things are often not road registered it's often hard to trace their history. thanks for watching
@@PeteAndHisBus From my old and tattered motor tax registration booklet this is an old Paisley Borough reg. Sorry for being nerdy, can't get out of the habit!!!!🙄 You've done her proud, what was the time scale???
First and only tractor I ever drove whilst hay-timing was an old grey Fergie in 1986 thanks for the teenage memories 😜 My mates dad had a working fleet of 6 of them thought they were the best most versatile tractor. One from the war ran on paraffin due to fuel being in short supply.
@@catsbyondrepair I used to work on a farm with all kinds of vintage and fkd tractors… and I can assure you glow plugs are not the silver bullet to start all tractors …. They can help, but more often than not these engines need a bit more encouragement than that
Loved the tractor installment, took me back to the early 80's when my dad and his mate had one of these for their lumberjack business and had a massive table saw attached to the back of it...... I was never allowed to go near it as it had no safety guard and could have cut you in two..... Aaaahhh the 80's when health and safety was willfully ignored! Lol 😂
hahaha! I used to ride my grandads which was essentially a ride on mower. I remember switching on all the mower blades on by accident.... I was about 7... Ahhhh the eighties... Thanks for watching
It's just gorgeous Pete. And let's face it - what man does not, secretly or otherwise, long to be the owner of a tractor? Good to see someone living the dream. Thanks, Tom
I'm pretty sure that Ki Gass pump is to aid cold starting, I remember Perkins diesels used them years ago, a bit of research on the subject wouldn't go amiss.....
Hey Pete ! I have the utmost respect for any man that changes his boxers daily ! I try to get the most mileage out of mine , and if there are no skids , I figure they are still good to go !!
I'm amazed at your endurance when it comes to sanding and painting! Really incredible.🤩 Even though I'd love to se the bus completed, dont be afraid of mixing the content if you fancy. I guess many of us viewers are petrol heads just as you and gets our fix from different sources so it's totally relatable. As long as you do you, it'll be enjoyable.😎
Well Pete - the next step is Tractorus Dementia Totalis. This is where you get another tractor, swap in a tuned Ford Flathead V8 with open "zoomie" headers and perform intricate mud burnouts!
Another great video, Pete. When I was young I also adored tractors. Our house backed on to fields and I loved to watch the farmer when he was out and about. Gradually, though, as I grew up, my love of buses grew and my fascination with tractors diminished to the point where I now find vintage tractors interesting, but no more than that. I feel that it is true to say that I am an Ex-tractor Fan! Oh, that sucks! 🤣 EDIT: Oh nuts, I just spotted the comment from an hour previous. Ah well! 🙄
I used to work on a farm and we had one of these, the rims about the same, where the water and mud sits, it just rots out, was forever putting the tire back on, anddd, when we paint chains, we just dip them in the tin, and swing them around a bit lol, might want to do this outside with overalls and a hat on, maybe an old truck or motorbike would be a cool project, PLEASEEE dont paint that long again without a mask Pete, its proper bad for you, really enjoiyed this video, pritty funny to, Compo lol, wheres ya wellies, 30:05 great job, thanx.
I learned to drive on the Ford tractor of the same age, and used that tractor as I got older to mow hay for the farm for many years. That tractor is still on the farm and I really should restore it.
Loved the video in 1964/66 we had a fegie at a stables I help out at it also had another gem of a tractor a fordson major I believe with duo fuel tvo/petrol with a scaffold pole for an exhaust spitting sparks in a hay barn this was in Essex I then spent my first two years driving Ford and massey ferguson tractors great days in Essex countryside Love the tractor well on a good clean up looks new
The tractor is just a nice little change from all that bus stuff hey Pete And no lift needed to paint it Thought the little paint brush , was that some sort of self punishment 😂😂 I managed to by myself a battery pop rivet gun this week It is a little heavy but so good 😍😍👍👍 Maybe a bit of aero start for the cold weather before you destroy the starter
The little brush was easiest around all the nuts and bolts. I'm going to replace the starter to a Ford 4000 one. It bolts straight on and has much more oomph. Not a massive fan if the old aero start. Can fatigue the engine quite easily. Thanks for your advice and for watching!
OMG absolutely fantastic, brought back so many memories for me too, can tell you loved doing this as most off the time you had a small brush to make the painting last longer lol.. like you my grandfather had a little grey fergie and was the first vehicle I drove around the farm when I was around 7 years old, supervised off course lol. great video absolutely loved it.. well done Robb Torremolinos Spain
A fantastic episode and a really tremendous reason for all the hard work and effort gone into that immense little machine. May it bring you and the family a lifetime of more happy memories being made. True credit to yourself for all the work that goes into the content you make too.
I love all types of Restoration! My TR6Pi is almost as hard to start after a long period of non use....chasing it on the starter! Why do we it? I have no idea!
Yoiu are a star! Never been a tractor nerd or indded a bus one in terms of renovation.....but hey, your enthusiasm! All the best from New Zealand! Actually we hired a London Taxi and A Routmaster (there are a few here!) for my daughter's wedding but deicided not to do the tractor!! lol.I am an exiled Brit! All the best!
What a cool video Pete restoring a 1950's tractor because it's symbolic in your family it would be great to see you, your niece and nephew drive it. It's good to have a side hobby like Pete and his tractor
Thanks for another fantastic video Pete, even Compo seems impressed ! Here in South Africa, the Ferguson T20 was affectionately known as the “Vaaljapie” on account of it’s color. ( vaaljapie (English) Origin & history: From Afrikaans, from Dutch vaal ("pale/cloudy") + japie ("Jack or Jim"). You’ve done a lovely job of sprucing it up. Wishing you and the family many happy hours with your “Vaaljapie” ! Take care and regards 🇿🇦.
Wow. What a blast-from-the-past! My first job straight out of high school was working for a river conservation authority, mostly driving a Massey-Ferguson tractor, made in Woodstock Ontario. As far as I can tell, it was the same model as the one you have. It was a powerful little beastie--it could drag a tree plough over hilly terrain with ease, or mow an entire field in a couple of hours with a 6' pan mower. Oh yes, I think the red colour on was added later--the standard grey was the only colour choice back in the 1950s if I remember correctly.
Book and Sticker arrived a few weeks ago, thanks. Nice tractor, even nicer story. It brings back memories of driving a tractor on my Uncle's farm in the 1970s. Happy days. Thank you.
Fantastic! Routemaster buses, classic cars and now a Fergie. All you need now to tick my remaining boxes are a classic Saab and a Harley-Davidson or two…
Just watched Episode 32. Loved it! I did wonder why you had no images of riding on the tractor, but when you explained it, I realized why. I still wait in anticipation of the paper coming off the windows. Perhaps in Episode 33?????????
Great epiode Pete! I had a farming mate with a little grey Fergie - couldn't wait to help out at haymaking so I could get a drive. Hope Compo has recovered his equilibrium although that might be tricky as a two wheeler
Many people around my age remember learning to drive on a little grey Fergie at whatever age they could operate the clutch and brake pedals, it was 12 for me. Even a TVO could be awkward to start if damp and cold. Often needed a good half hour running on petrol, depending on temperature, once the electrics had been dried first before switching to TVO. Putting the distributor cap and HT leads in the bottom oven of the kitchen range dried them out quickly. Strong arms, back and shoulders for swinging the handle. You should watch a tractor building competition at a county or agricultural show, a Fergie built from completely dismantled to running tractor by a team of chaps and chapesses in about 10 minutes.
My fav funny slightly mad you tuber 🤭 at one point of sanding you compared old red paint with the bus and got me thinking noooooo dont paint it red, phew 🤷♂️ great project though well done on the revival 👍🙂
If it's hard to start, try sticking a hot air gun into the air intake. We used to use a flaming rag soaked in diesel by the air intake on our forklifts that wouldn't start in the winter!
Brilliant episode Pete. That’s really touching you want to pass on what you had when you were little to your nephew. Your experience inspired you and will probably do the same to him
Superb Left field vid Pete - absolutely love what you’ve done to the Ferg, well done you,and for all the right reasons 9and for catching the thing about the mask when spraying before you release the vid 😊) If only I could “refurb” “Captain”, the workhorse that I was allowed to “drive” with my Grandfather when I was three years old - you’ve done the right thing! Give Compo some T-Cut and a machine polish as compensation - love Compo ! Keep ‘em comin’ and, as Blakey from ‘on the Buses’ would say “Get dat Bus outta here” (and start earning quiddage in the Festive Season!) JCHK
Nice little tractor :) The 23C Engine is despite its reputation a great engine. If you keep having issues with starting, check if all 4 glow plugs work and work well it absolutely needs those even if one glow plug isn't heating properly its going to have a hard time not only when its cold out. Also those engines do have a timing chain which lengthens over time which means re-timing the injection pump is neccessary - on an older engine turning the pump ~1mm towards the engine (clockwise when looking at it from the back) will do wonders on how it runs and especially starts.
Still loving your work Pete. Have you considered an offshoot or retitle for the series? Painting with Pete? Just a thought as a working title. Then, what is 'preasure?' The moment that you take pleasure in the pressure? Finally why do tractor rear tyres go that way around with the V digging into the mud rather than pointing forward like arrows. Asking for a friend.
That was really beautiful. It's good to see old equipment being brought back to life. There's a good 50 years of life in it for your grand children to enjoy it. It'll get you out of the snow this winter. Oh btw could you do a track list, love the music too 🤣😁 I watched it a few times just for the music. Best wishes for Christmas and New year if you don't do another video before then.
Didn’t think I’d ever say this but that’s a lovely tractor. If you sold it after the fix up is complete would you see a return on your investment? Also I reckon weddings would hire it for photos and indeed transport. If a farm trailer bar was put on the back then it could be hired for events, a few hay bales for seating. You’d probably also specifically get hired for events on fields to pull other vehicles out of trouble, including double decker busses.
I would sell with profit but that wasn’t really the aim here. She’s going to be around just for pure pleasure. The buses can take care of business 👍 thanks for watching
Disappointed. 1. No “Reaload Paintgun” 2. Nothing else, loved it. My 1st GF lived on a farm so many memories of her dad starting tractors like that (it starts easier if you hold a oxy acetylene torch in front of the air intake 🤣 and shout “come on you f’ker”) I loved the video Pete!

Hey thanks for watching, use you are right an all accounts but it is a TED and it was originally tvo, so no idea why it had the Ki gas for a diesel
I too would say it was originally a diesel, one example reason is the extra studs under the back end, they were a late model strength improvement.
@@andrewmcconnell8675 Very interesting indeed!
It's a nice little tractor and looks very smart, if all the ki.gas system is there you might be able to connect it up to help with your starting it does help and with the bigger starter you should be cooking on gas 🙂

Don't worry about being a vehicle nut, so am I, and I've got it really bad just like you. I love life, like you do.
Excellent
Have to say, when you sanded and omfound that red paint, I was hoping you’d go London Red with cream stripe to match the bus…!
I know. But I just couldn’t…
What a beautiful epiphany with a family ending. Congrats Pete!. PS: Compo seemed to be very concern when you passed out.
It’s true. He probably wants 2 stroke oil…
Book and Sticker arrived a few weeks ago, thanks. Nice tractor, even nicer story. It brings back memories of driving a tractor on my Uncle's farm in the 1970s. Happy days. Thank you.
Yes!! Thanks for your purchase, very much appreciated. Tractor on a farm, heaven. Thanks for watching
Fantastic! Routemaster buses, classic cars and now a Fergie. All you need now to tick my remaining boxes are a classic Saab and a Harley-Davidson or two…
I really like the old 2 stroke Saab they did! If I saw one at the right money I'd have one.

Superb Left field vid Pete - absolutely love what you’ve done to the Ferg, well done you,and for all the right reasons 9and for catching the thing about the mask when spraying before you release the vid 😊)
If only I could “refurb” “Captain”, the workhorse that I was allowed to “drive” with my Grandfather when I was three years old - you’ve done the right thing!
Give Compo some T-Cut and a machine polish as compensation - love Compo !
Keep ‘em comin’ and, as Blakey from ‘on the Buses’ would say “Get dat Bus outta here” (and start earning quiddage in the Festive Season!)

There's time for Captain yet! Thanks for your support
Nice little tractor :) The 23C Engine is despite its reputation a great engine. If you keep having issues with starting, check if all 4 glow plugs work and work well it absolutely needs those even if one glow plug isn't heating properly its going to have a hard time not only when its cold out.
Also those engines do have a timing chain which lengthens over time which means re-timing the injection pump is neccessary - on an older engine turning the pump ~1mm towards the engine (clockwise when looking at it from the back) will do wonders on how it runs and especially starts.
great advice there! Thanks for watching.
Nice job Pete 🇳🇱
Dank u
Still loving your work Pete.
Have you considered an offshoot or retitle for the series?
Painting with Pete?
Just a thought as a working title.
Then, what is 'preasure?' The moment that you take pleasure in the pressure?
Finally why do tractor rear tyres go that way around with the V digging into the mud rather than pointing forward like arrows.
Asking for a friend.
Thanks for watching!
That is the most wonderful reason to do this project. Great to see you Giving to the next geration. Great episode.
Thanks so much!
Hahaha you look like Jim Carey on that tractor at the end 😂 Brilliant video well done most entertaining
I’ve heard that one before! Thanks for watching
Enjoyed it sir.. throughly
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching.
Absolutely loved this episode Pete, well worth the wait. The music was bloody awesome too mate, cheers 🤩👍👌
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
As well as all sorts of classic vehicles, I happen to be a modern jazz/fusion fan and I couldn't agree more!
@@kevelliott absolutely 🤩👍
awsome what a lovley tractor
Thanks for watching.
nice one Pete.
Thanks 👍
That was really beautiful. It's good to see old equipment being brought back to life. There's a good 50 years of life in it for your grand children to enjoy it. It'll get you out of the snow this winter. Oh btw could you do a track list, love the music too 🤣😁 I watched it a few times just for the music. Best wishes for Christmas and New year if you don't do another video before then.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your kind words. The band is called Tracktribe.
Lovely episode 👍
Thanks for watching!
Just brilliant loved it 😊
So glad! Wasn't sure the bus fans were going to appreciate this but i think it might be ok. Thanks for watching.
Hi Hi Pete was the bonnet mid red in another life 😂
It certainly looks like it!
I love old London buses they have more character than the buses nowadays
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching 👍
Great job pete
Everyone and I mean everyone needs things in there life from banner lane……oh and Southall
Keep up the fab work 👌🏻
Thanks for your support and watching! 👍👍
Nice little distraction there, I do like a little grey Fergie, or failing that, a Ford Dexter.
Very nice too 👍 thanks for watching
Pete, have you seen my tractor train🎉, love your channel
I haven’t, thanks for watching
@@PeteAndHisBus 👌🤗🚂⭐Regards Elizabeth
hi mate - just saw your bus near bermondsey, thought i’d let your front right tire is looking quite flat
keep up the good crusade
When was this? Because she felt fine. When you get a flat in these YOU KNOW!!
Didn’t think I’d ever say this but that’s a lovely tractor. If you sold it after the fix up is complete would you see a return on your investment? Also I reckon weddings would hire it for photos and indeed transport. If a farm trailer bar was put on the back then it could be hired for events, a few hay bales for seating. You’d probably also specifically get hired for events on fields to pull other vehicles out of trouble, including double decker busses.
I would sell with profit but that wasn’t really the aim here. She’s going to be around just for pure pleasure. The buses can take care of business 👍 thanks for watching
Disappointed.
1. No “Reaload Paintgun”
2. Nothing else, loved it.
My 1st GF lived on a farm so many memories of her dad starting tractors like that (it starts easier if you hold a oxy acetylene torch in front of the air intake 🤣 and shout “come on you f’ker”)
I loved the video Pete!
That is some sound advice! hahah! Thanks for watching.
Great video, you suffer with Tractus Insania, sadly i suffer with Fatus blokus and my PAHB tee shirt i ordered is too small.
Oh no!! Email me on: info@barml2355.com
If you post it back to me I’ll happily send you the correct size if I have it.
👍👍
Sooo funny brilliant channel
Thanks mate
Sooperb 👍
Thank you 🙂
Great video and really enjoyed it thanks.
Now what about PETE AND HIS LAND ROVER ? 🙏
hahaha, she will need some love at some stage. Thanks for watching!
Red RM, Grey Fergie, it's all good. As is the music which to me has a Hendrix vibe. Post a link to the artist please😉
A band called Tracktribe, and that vibe is the exact reason I picked em for this vid! Thanks for watching
Amazing 😊😊😊
Thanks 😊
