Am I the only woman that finds this fascinating to watch ...I did do 2 years of car maintenance class and loved it ,that was when you could work on your car ..a mark 3 Cortina....best wishes from the North Norfolk Coast UK Stay safe and well everyone
Nice to see an old tractor being restored but those lights were for a Mf 35x not a grey Fergie and the fenders should be grey but that could be just primer I can’t tell
I've just bought my '54 TEF20 from my cousin...a year younger than myself. There's a little bit of tidings up of the panels but overall there shouldn't be too much to do. I came for the tractor story and stayed for the cows ;)
Nothing like driving a tractor without the cab for sure,I used to draw turf from the bog about 16 miles away from home,nothing like the fresh breeze in your face 😄
Adian, Bob was my brother-in-law. Lovely, video! Dirty oil some water in it; it looks like! Beautiful work! That seal look well seated. Please don't apologize for the delay, Adrian. You have a new baby in the house and it is calving season, Please man, you're working two person's job, or maybe even three. Love watching you putting the tractor back together. I am learning so much. Thank you.
Your some man to make time for everything especially on a dairy farm there sometimes aren't enough hours in the day hope you dad gets great enjoyment out of it when up and running 👍
I have seen bucks when servicing older tractors take out the engine oil and pour is straight into the backend, the things that farmers will do to reuse is outstanding
Something different Adrian, very enjoyable, I do prefer seeing the cattle and hearing how other people work their cattle but you can't have cattle all the time and seeing Tractors is the next best thing, your a handy guy Adrian and there is such a sense of satisfaction when you repair something mechanical, if she does start I am sure you will soon sort her out, great video well done very enjoyable
Ya I try to mix it up, if I did all cattle related videos I wouldn’t be showing myself for who I am. I love tackle all sorts of jobs, I’ve always got enormous satisfaction from that. Learning from my own mistakes as I go. Thanks George 👍
I can remember rolling ploughing with a DB 880. Had to keep your hands out of the steering wheel or you’d end up with snapped wrists. Great video. Good luck 👍
Great video, she is coming on nicely it's a great project, I'm exactly the same time is definitely hard to find with these projects, but a great bit of fun and a release from pressure of every day life
U have a great way about u Adrian pleasure to watch your videos not afraid to learn on the job hope your dad can push the clutch down when it's all done
Adrian Your have a great mind and hands.fair play to you alot of people including myself would be like to like you. Your also a very tidy farmer and have great pride well done
I know it's 11 months since you posted this video, you where so lucky to remove that brake drum with your hands, in all the years I worked on tractors I never had one like that, it was heat hammer or sledge hammer even smashed the drums, we always used a centre pop on the retainer screws if you did not have to drill them out, Happy New year to you and your family
The red springs in the right hand drum when you are putting it back together, am sure there is supposed to be two different colored springs as one is a leading shoe, so maybe a black spring at the bottom and red on top. Cheers
There's no maybe about it Adrian, your father will enjoy that tractor this summer. I can't wait for the day to see you all getting a spin on the 20. Fair play to ya,super video.
Great video will be good to see it finished and your father enjoying driving it on the farm your doing a fantastic job on it you will have to get Nicole on the spanner’s to help you
We replaced the pto completely with the larger size shaft so it can be used. Took the pump out too, found out it was well clogged even tho it worked. I'd say that front wheel will still wobble when u drive it. Taking a fergy for a spin up the road is enjoyable, anything more is not.
Just watched your video I've got a 1952 Ted T20 my brake shoes are identical to yours ie same springs and the 2 nuts it all works perfectly fine so I would suggest leave them as you found them👌
Hi Adrian I done up a 20 myself a few months ago. One thing you should do is replace the gear selectors they don’t make new ones but you can get them off old 20s. And we got all of our parts off of quality tractor parts they are very handy.
Smith’s showrooms were on College Street opposite the entrance to the Egg Market car park in Cavan town. They used to drive the new tractors up from Cork. No big transporters back then, and no cabs either. Them were the Good Auld Days.
Haha, wouldn't like to have the film that. The snot frozen on your face and ya tryin to warm the leggeens on the side of the block! Nostalgia is always rose tinted
Little wins lol, wrong part great get out The chisel marks and missing screw from brake hub, noted you replaced the screws, did you copper grease the threads to make removing easier ?? Thank you for taking us on this journey Take care Geoff
Looks like your looking for that same pallet of time that father Phil's looking for to get her finished great work on her are you going to paint it when you have it running
I drive my 135 and goldbelly all late spring and late summer and I love them without a cab, it can be colder, yes but the cabs never are the best and can be a pain, the only reason I live the cabs is the aspect of safety, many times I have clipped my leg on the tyre or rested my hand to far out to the left and be driving along only to have dust in the eyes. Nowadays I would say cabless is the better option, at least for >40 horsepower machines
Adrian, the phrases "it's the wrong one" and "it doesn't fit" are all too familiar as I'm replacing parts on my TEF20 as I go. I don't know where the retailers are getting this stuff from but some items are a bit shoddy. The MF35 is still in production (!!) and I think we might be getting cheap spares originally intended for the East African market? She's looking good mate...!
Brilliant video Adrian well done again. Just wondering what model no. the impact drill is and has it ever not opened bolts?only have 1.3 amp battery at min may be too small...
That’s an 18v volt 5amp battery. Now I love my dewalts and have loads of them all in the XR 18v. But that larger 1/2 inch model isn’t great, very poor in fact. the 3/8’s version that I have is nearly as good. Wouldn’t open any car or tractor nuts. Only bought that one a couple of months ago. Bought a Milwaukee version in 1/2 this week, there’s no comparison really. Sold the dewalt yesterday.
@@IFarmWeFarm thank you Adrian your a gentleman, will hold off buying for minute would not have huge use for one but handy to have, am very happy with dewalt drill even though small still great, maybe sometime Milwaukee could be reviewed as part of video
We had a similar tractor as this and we had a very very small wheel seal leak on both sides that wreck the brakes. I would replace the axle seals if I was doing it. We also use to drill, tap and put a grease Zerk on the front hubs if it was possible to make sure they had grease. Why do you have one of the tires mounted with the tire bars reversed? That snap ring on the PTO is what I call a Jesus ring. When it comes off and flys I say Jesus where did it go. lol We have had water getting into the casing through the boot around the shift lever. Sorry for all the questions but I love your videos and how you explain everything so well. Thank you from the USA!!
Yes them axle seals can leak and destroy the brake shoes, not hard to fix though just takes a bit of time. Yes one tyre is on wrong, was like that when I got it but I’m not to bothered as we’ve a new set of wheels for it. Thanks lad 👍
Partner & I are about to restore his 1953 TEF20. Your videos will be a great help for this, lets hope we can get the parts needed🤞🤞 already struggling 😅 can I ask what engine oil you have used in yours? (is it also the same for the PTO?) It'll be one of the 1st jobs we do, once we've cleaned up the grease 🙈
Bonjour je voudrais savoir comment se remonte le support de pompe injection j’ai acheté la tracteur mais il était démonter si vous pouvez m’aider sa serait sympa merci pour vos vidéos
Good stuff. Smiths of Cavan were the main men in Ireland for those 20s back in the 50s and 60s. A huge operation, be interesting to hear what your father remembers of them
Very good video, great to see all this documented, make things far easier for folk that want to give a restoration project a go!!
Cheers boss
Am I the only woman that finds this fascinating to watch ...I did do 2 years of car maintenance class and loved it ,that was when you could work on your car ..a mark 3 Cortina....best wishes from the North Norfolk Coast UK Stay safe and well everyone
Your definitely not on your own, mark 3 cortina was some car to get to work on. Mechanical work is very satisfying if you enjoy it
Your not the only woman watching. He's a great instructor.

Nice to see an old tractor being restored but those lights were for a Mf 35x not a grey Fergie and the fenders should be grey but that could be just primer I can’t tell
Great feeling when u get to replace/repair parts, Such a satisfying feeling my right?

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming
Your some man to make time for everything especially on a dairy farm there sometimes aren't enough hours in the day hope you dad gets great enjoyment out of it when up and running 👍
A genuinely talented bloke
Hi Adrian,
The baby 20 coming along lovely. She really will be beauty when she is finished.🐄 🤗👍
nice old tractor still has some good use, great video we really enjoy them all
Love your engineers ball claw hammer 😅.
Driving a tractor without a cab is one of the nicest feeling you could get. Nice video the massy in the background is getting jealous 😀 😬.
great video Adrian can’t wait to see it finished it will be awesome 👏👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
You kept me well entertained through me having covid 🥊🥊
It's great you have Hudson there to keep you right.
Great video Adrian, i have great memories of topping fields with a 20, can't wait to see her run!
Have a mowing bar sitting in a friends hedge that I might get for it. That would look the part
Don't no much about mechanics meself, so it's interesting to see how these little jobs are done 👍. Your 2 dogs are characters 👏
I have seen bucks when servicing older tractors take out the engine oil and pour is straight into the backend, the things that farmers will do to reuse is outstanding

Really really useful thanks for all these videos..
Nice tractor

That video was well worth the wait Adrian - I have picked up some great tips for my Tef20 - keep them coming 👍
what joy looking for a sack bag for the seat when it was frostie
Brilliant looking forward to watching this evening 😊👍👍
It's quite nice watching someone else doing a restoration as I am doing my own on my ford 4000
I can remember rolling ploughing with a DB 880. Had to keep your hands out of the steering wheel or you’d end up with snapped wrists. Great video. Good luck 👍
😂 😂
My grandad used to let me "drive" a 135 up a bad road. Quickly learned to keep my fingers out of the center of the steering wheel!
Great video, she is coming on nicely it's a great project, I'm exactly the same time is definitely hard to find with these projects, but a great bit of fun and a release from pressure of every day life
Keep up the good videos Adrian
Great work Adrian,tractor coming on nicely.
A classic Adrian, I love the cows but that was brilliant 👏
A very interesting video keep up the good work 💪💪
U have a great way about u Adrian pleasure to watch your videos not afraid to learn on the job hope your dad can push the clutch down when it's all done
Adrian
Your have a great mind and hands.fair play to you alot of people including myself would be like to like you.

The red springs in the right hand drum when you are putting it back together, am sure there is supposed to be two different colored springs as one is a leading shoe, so maybe a black spring at the bottom and red on top. Cheers
It will be a good tractor for your kids to drive around
Great video adrian great to see you back at the t20
Great video again Adrian. Ur some man 👍👌.get urself a set off impact sockets set.👍🚜🚜
There's no maybe about it Adrian, your father will enjoy that tractor this summer. I can't wait for the day to see you all getting a spin on the 20.
Fair play to ya,super video.
Pure glad to see you post this video today. Was rewatching the other parts there on Tuesday to remind myself if how far in you were.
Great video will be good to see it finished and your father enjoying driving it on the farm your doing a fantastic job on it you will have to get Nicole on the spanner’s to help you
Great video Adrian coming along nicely
Lastiği ters takmışsınız ama elinize sağlık güzel olmuş

Fair play Adrian, that’s gona be a smashing little tractor when you are finished. Wish I had the confidence to take on a project like that
Just watched your video I've got a 1952 Ted T20 my brake shoes are identical to yours ie same springs and the 2 nuts it all works perfectly fine so I would suggest leave them as you found them👌

Some spin from cork 🙈. Great info
Brilliant 😁
Make sure rubber around gear stick is not worn or cracked, moisture on rain water will get in der👍
Have one here for it 👍
@@IFarmWeFarm Ferguson T20 dont have rubber around the gear stick, that wasnt until the 35's. T20 have a metal collar on the bottom of the gearstick.
Beautiful tractor I drove one in Guernsey channel Islands great tractor. I would love to work on a farm in southern island
Very entertaining video! Something very satisfying about these kinds of videos! Irish Andrew Camarata
I just forgot to say
“ look at that, good as new “ 🤣
@@IFarmWeFarm get the plasma cutter out too for good measure
Be lovely tractor when finished I did 165 Massey for friend was great fun
I think im right in saying t20 had studs and washers to hold the brake shoes,the pin and spring were fitted to the FE35 onward.
100 percent Mark
Hopefully so, means I’ll not have to take them back off 🤗👍
Yes Mark 100% correct fella..
nice video
love ur videos adrian
I may ( hopefully) have one of these to do up in the future so watching closely….
Exciting!!
Great video Adrian your going 2 make a job of her
You go out on a blustery, snowing winters day without a cab and do a shift and see how “exhilarating” it is 😱😱😱😱😂😂😂😂
Haha, wouldn't like to have the film that.
The snot frozen on your face and ya tryin to warm the leggeens on the side of the block!
Nostalgia is always rose tinted
Ya she’ll be for the sunny Sunday’s 😜
Great vid would like more of them
Little wins lol, wrong part great get out
The chisel marks and missing screw from brake hub, noted you replaced the screws, did you copper grease the threads to make removing easier ??
Thank you for taking us on this journey
Take care
Geoff
Looks like your looking for that same pallet of time that father Phil's looking for to get her finished great work on her are you going to paint it when you have it running

Is one of the back ties on the wrong way round? And those front wheels might have to have a little play in them? I am not sure tho lol
Love the farm you have always watch you're videos with the father. my father's always asks how many acers or hectare do you have ?
pretty sure those mudguard frames are the pressed shape for a 135 and should be solid steel on a t20
In a calving pen in Cavan, aye surely
Adrian, the phrases "it's the wrong one" and "it doesn't fit" are all too familiar as I'm replacing parts on my TEF20 as I go.

She's looking good mate...!
Ya new parts doesn’t usually fit 🙈, hard to get used bits but there fare better if you can
good idea with plastic battery cover water proof and wont short the battery like a metal one
You don’t need any screws in the brake drum I find as the wheels studs hold it
Brilliant video Adrian well done again. Just wondering what model no. the impact drill is and has it ever not opened bolts?only have 1.3 amp battery at min may be too small...

Qtp is Matt Buckley’s in zone c mullingar business park. They have some range of parts for every make and model of tractor
with them front wheels getting lose is it worth using castle nuts and split pins stop it getting loose again?
We had a similar tractor as this and we had a very very small wheel seal leak on both sides that wreck the brakes. I would replace the axle seals if I was doing it. We also use to drill, tap and put a grease Zerk on the front hubs if it was possible to make sure they had grease. Why do you have one of the tires mounted with the tire bars reversed?

@@IFarmWeFarm Thanks for the lad comment. I am old enough to be your dad. That is why I think? I am full of wisdom. lol
nice project adrian wondering would u put a safety frame on tractor
Check the rubbers around the gear stick might be perised and letting in water that's why your oil looks milky
How did you learn what to do I wouldn’t know where to start
It something I’ve grown up doing, from my boy racing to present day. Very enjoyable
Massey Ferguson worldwide is also great Facebook group to join
Love watching you Adrian but wrong exhaust and they are 35 mud gaurds
Ya I’m not dying about those mudguards, I still have original brackets so might just get new skins a sell these.
Go onto Clifford tractor parts Ireland,they are a sub supplier for QTP parts and are hell of a lot cheaper for parts then John Conaty
Clifford's are Brilliant.
Partner & I are about to restore his 1953 TEF20.

My Granda is doing up a ferguson t20
Hi adrain great video must cheak my brakes on mine where did u source the brake kits for the 20 ?
I bought them on eBay a good while back, weren’t very expensive either
Speaking as an ex MF fitter trained up by my now deceased father the best tool for replacing brake springs is the farmers friend, baler twine
Bonjour je voudrais savoir comment se remonte le support de pompe injection j’ai acheté la tracteur mais il était démonter si vous pouvez m’aider sa serait sympa merci pour vos vidéos
Do you always wear Wellington boots?
Adrian - are those the original front rims on the T20? If so what size are they?
I’ll find that out later and let you know 👍
I am 13 and just got a 35x
Wow, what a great tractor to get. Treasure it mate 👌
Aye the yoke of all
Would you put a scraper on it when it’s done
Not really lad, our yards don’t really suit a tractor scrapper.
Hi Adrian. Put some dual wheels on it. They were a factory option in later years, and will look the part.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Adrian want are you going to use the 20 for
No much, fathers enjoyment really. Sunny Sunday drives mostly
Good stuff.
Smiths of Cavan were the main men in Ireland for those 20s back in the 50s and 60s.
A huge operation, be interesting to hear what your father remembers of them
My father bought his in Kingscourt, just there where there hire place is on the road to Nober. Where was smiths based 🤔
@@IFarmWeFarm I think smith’s only sold refurbished ones and had a badge on them stating that ask your father.
