Ferguson to30 revival part 1

Reviving an abandoned Ferguson TO-30 tractor. It had sat in the tree's for almost a decade before I rescued it and brought it home for parts. Now that its running, I have to decide if its a good parts tractor or a good runner worth keeping.

I absolutely Love the lack of crappy music and non -sensical rambling as 90% of other channels have! 💯👍👏

Hi there where did you buy that carb ? I bought one from Ebay but the bolt studs don’t line up. I believe they made two different throttle sizes

I have the same tractor and it cranks but doesn’t start completely. Is there anything you recommend doing?

[@whatsjeffdoing9945]

start with the basics, does it have spark... does it have good spark. most of the tractors I buy were parked because the points were worn and noone knew how to replace them or a bad coil. For under $100 you can totally rebuild the ignition system with a blaster coil and new plugs. The other common issue is a clogged carb or screen. again, really cheap to swap out the sediment bowl for a new one. Rebuilding the carbs on these is super simple even if you have never touched on. Just make sure to get some chemdip.

@@whatsjeffdoing9945 My dad and I are looking at it this week end we are just going to check to make sure every thing is in good condition. Then I have one trick up my sleeve so we will see how it goes.
