1953 Ferguson TO-30 Sitting 15 years - Will it Run?

In an off-the-farm episode, Brian ventures far from home to my neck of the woods to retrieve a 1953 Ferguson TO-30 that has been sitting for roughly 15 years.
Edit April 8th: Looks like tractors are all the rage again, kids! If you like tractors, our haphazardly unplanned start of our Allis-Chalmers WD45 is on our channel. And @JunkyardDigs gets a Farmall H running again, too!

Harry Ferguson was a clever man , he invented the 3 point hitch and his tractors are still worked and enjoyed all these years later.

[@billbyrnes9505]

I was told, by a good friend, who has recently passed away, " If the motor can roll over, it will run. "

[@alanlanghorn9528]

Near the same has a tea 20 Ferguson starts on the gear stick the solenoid is on to of the transmission under the battery mine is very hard on the solenoid they only last a few years

[@swagmanexplores7472]

I have a TEA20 here in Australia - very similar, just a bit older than this one

[@TheCarFarm]

Right on, man! I think they're all "center-hand drive", tho. 😄

[@luisangel1036]

I have the same tractor but have some problems bc it in neutral and don't want take any gear.

[@billyg7798]

Working on one know and I can’t find the green alligator clip?

[@TheCarFarm]

Rigjt, after 60 years, sometimes farmers will replace the factory aligator clips with ignition lock and cylinders.

[@paybo3573]

Or some may call it Formosa lol

[@woodman4550]

Throttle has nothing to do with timing.

[@scottleininger2404]

Awesome tractor I have a 1940 Ford I'm working on myself

[@irvinslagter8298]

If there was a worse invention than those worthless battery cable clamps, I don't know what it is. They have caused more problems than they were ever worth.

[@nogoodcops6557]

I've got the same tractor. $500 if anyone wants it.
