- Hello everyone,
In today's video I stumbled across one of my friends TE20. Turns out he parked it up before Christmas, and hasn't has it out since. So what's the obvious thing to do? See if it'll start!

love how you always say hello to the abandoned tractors. I have been recently learning what transmission gaskets and seals are required for Ford 4000 tractors as I have had to look these up for customers at the New Holland dealer i work at.
I used to like this make and model of tractor, since childhood, my grandparents took me to a pick-your-Own regularly. In the adventure playground was an old Ferguson TE20 tractor as part of the playing apparatus, and I would sit on it for a long time.
Standard Perkins 4 cylinder Ferguson Te20 woop woop am as excited as you. She fire's broom putt putt into life. You can drop a bomb on these thing's and they will still run
My brother's got another one now as well as the 35 morag Massey Ferguson Perkins 152Ad. He now has a 3 cylinder p3 Ferguson Tea convertion from petrol Parafin. But we need to adapt the front axle carrier.🛠🔧👨🔧👍
Brings back fond memories of me driving one of these around the farm at the age of 6 back in the 70s
I got a Diesel TE20 around 1988ish, with a loader, plough, cultivator, ridger, rear box and other accessories, which I used for vegetable growing for many rears until I sold it on. A great machine. I live in North Eastern Scotland.
They always fire up! Bullet proof things 🤩
Drove a tractor for the first time only a few weeks ago. Was one one of these, a 1955. Great fun altogether. Before that, never driven anything before.
I LOVE THIS TYPE OF STUFFFFF
Pleased to hear it
I have always wanted to find and save an abandoned vechicle but sadly never had. Keep up the good work taking care of thoes beauties.
same here: though for me it specifically involves knocking the rusted lock off an old shed and finding a lost steam locomotive inside. Hey, at least yours is pretty feasible actually! Mine's basically hopeless...
@@sawyerawr5783 you lucky guy. Been searching for a tractor and has found a locomotive. Lawrie would be proud to have such an audience.
@@sawyerawr5783 that's pretty impressive. What was it?
@@lmm eh, I worded that badly: I never have truthfully unfortunately. the closest I've gotten is a rotted out 0-4-0T sitting on a flatcar in my hometown, but sadly she's spoken for. but, I guess, you could argue CD Johnson 9 counts (I WILL get you out of that gorge one day!)
I mean I blundered into the remains of a stationary boiler out in new mexico once but eh, not the same really.
as soon as i saw it was a diesel i knew it would run. love tractor vids, keep them coming.
I adore the Ferguson TE20, they're one of the most popular tractors of all time.
I've seen a good number of them at the Shrewsbury Steam Rally back in August 2019.
Still use one of these weekly for cutting grass on a cricket ground. Less rust on it than this one but has never had any major work and still runs pretty much faultlessly. Excellent machines.
Best this was you struggled to connect a one way fool proff battery connector (I'm impressed)
It was very stiff 😂
Hello @@lmm How is your fire engines doing
Glad I am not the only one who wants to start every old tractor I find
Didn't think it would start but so glad it did. The only tractor I ever drove was a T20 diesel in the late 80's as a teenager apprentice mechanic, the boss had one for the field he kept his horses in. It was a learning experience, crash box, hand throttle and shit brakes....a bit different from the car I learned to drive in 😂
Nice. Love the 🚜
Well done! 🚜
Used to drive one of these, still living in Sweden....painted red, LOVED it, like with most old mechanical....things that makes you smile!
Apparently some owners did paint them red to look like the new 35's!
So glad I’ve found your channel. Love how you give your tractors names. Those fergies are gems
Pleased to hear you've found us.
All my stuff has names 😂
@@lmm how is Jupiter running for you?
@@lmm I’ve named my family’s cars since I was little. We had a Chrysler voyager called Millie. She hated the cold starts and used to smoke loads. She had a vm motori Diesel engine. My latest motorbillity car is called tazz or my dad calls her the Mooney bus 😂
awesome video sounds good
The battery connector is called an Anderson plug, usely widely in motorsport. Engine sounds sweet!
Great tractor
Good job.
Great editing matt
It's a great job considering he didn't do it 😂
Talk about memories!
First tractor I drove was a little-grey-fergy diesel. I was in primary school Australia, 5th class early 1960’s. Graduated to ih AWD 6, ih A514, John Deere 3020, 4019 and case traction king. Favourite of all was the fergy
They're good little tractors!
I learned to drive on one of these! :-) Top gear always seemed so fast on a rough track! We had one of each over the years, petrol, TVO and diesel, and many a time my Mum would find different bits on the kitchen table - dynamos always seemed to be favourites.....
I do love a Te20. The tractor that comes to mind when you think tractor 😂
Seems Like She is ready to go back to work!
Thats amazing. My car is harder to start than that when its sat over a weekend.
Love to hear a engine come to life after a while sleeping . The Diesel engines just say I want to come out to play help me come back to life.
In the warmth it doesn't need cold start on but it seemed to work with it on I know this as my dad's friend has one and I've driven it and I serviced it with him once and I really want one
We have a tef20. Great tractors and pretty reliable. The one in the vid would have had a MiI loader fitted judging by those brackets. Miraculously ours is one of the last 900 out of the 500000 te20s made.
It's cool that you can find this same tractor on both sides of the pond.
Yeah, they sold everywhere
Great vid. I would put will it run in the title, would help with the search engine
That that runs, just wow
Lots of these older tractors will just start up!
Yey!!!!
£25?
You need this in the shed and she needs you. That's why she started for you 😍!
Ahh, so much nostalgia for me with a Fergy 35 kind of thing.
Do love a 35
Yeah, good time watching
Pleased to hear it
i love how he only had to start it normally with a couple of problems to actually get it running and its funny because nomally it would need restoration but this guy just knows how to start it up
Ah this is a good little tractor, runs sweet 😂
Awesome
it should be restored to perfection!!!
Looks like it's had a new starter motor fitted
When it clicks like that, go ahead and click it 50 times or so before giving up because the clicking often knocks the corrosion off the contacts and fixes it.
Another day - another hedge, another Tractor - you lucky sod!
be sure to show the exhaust at first start. I love to watch the old debris fly out.
looks good, chances of it sneaking into the shed?
You know your in trouble when Lawrie stands still and says Oooooooo in a high voice
Isn't it pretty though
I doubt it had been in that location for any length of time as the greenery under the tractor and cutter was not discolored at all. I drove one of those about 50 years ago, it was diesel but had to be started by petrol (in a small additional tank) and then switch over to diesel.
As I said in the video, been there since before Christmas
Lovely tractor but sorry that was going to start look at the connections😉 jump in started it drive it out what under growth 😉
More fun to pull it out though. If I'd had a spare person we could have probably bumped it into life
I suppose being a diesel it kept running when you disconnected the booster, did you refit the battery?
If not, could that be the reason for no charge showing?
on an diesel engine like this it will run without a battery, a battery is only needed to start it as it is a manual pull to stop not off the ignition. modern diesel engines need a battery all the time though because as soon as you turn the ignition off it shuts the fuel pump off and will stop the engine
Rudolf Diesel invented the Diesel Engines, but 'John Bull 'made it run sweet as a nut, as they say!
My Oh MY, wouldn't I like to find an old tractor like this!
Thank you very much!
I was willing her to start,and Yeeaaah did she start!!!!!!!!
It had a mill loader I got one on mine
Car SOS and Lawrie put out a vid on a Fergie at the same time, my lucky day XD
Liking the tractor video keep them coming look forward to more have a look at my channel and my ted and tef 20s
Lawries immunity to nettle stings is something else.
I would have been Beating them back with a big stick before recording.
I have 3 te20s they are the best small tractor
Best machines ever made
They're quite super aren't they
biggest tractor ive ever driven was a 20hp air cooled lawn tractor and it was only a 2 cylinder
i love th te20
You have a TO-35? I have two, both running, one with loader and backhoe which is due for a paint job, the other is our farm tractor and had a complete rebuild about 2004 or so.
Not mine sadly!
I do love the smell of old Diesel engines it’s heaven
Great isn't it - I love the sound
Mine runs but after a few min or when using a cutter on it, it starts choking and spitting then stalls, not sure what causes it, new battery, spark plugs, fuel, could it be a dirty fuel tank or carburetor
Very strange. That diesel one just goes!
Id say the tractor was there a month 🤣
I'd say you'd be wrong.
@@lmm look at the regrowth on the grass from when it last topped. Its about a month and no high weeds grew around the tractor.
Are you aware that weeds and grass don't really grow over winter?
@@lmm yes sure this was summer time this was filmed. July and August when they grow the most 😁
@@prime553 that would explain the nettles as tall as me then.
Dunno what to tell you bud, thing hadn't been run since before Christmas.
These old diesel tractors can run after sitting idle for ages. That wee Fergie runs not too badly.
It's a good little tractor. The diesels do just go even after sitting for an age.
That plug is called an Anderson plug btw
I don't know what Lawrie Rose loves more: tractors, or locomotives...
Both hahahaha
My 1950 Ferguson is petrol powered . I wrote a song for her ; "I Love You Elle McFerguson"
never thought that was a goer.but hey ( pardon the pun)she wants restoring.
good video, how about attending to the air- cleaner ? 1st job,
The disel edition started produsing in 1954
I new it wold power up I love ferguson I have one
Great things aren't they
I was told the TE means Tractor England now you said the TEF is the Diesel model so am I right in thinking the F means fuel oil? 🤷♂️
Oh that would make sense!
Though I always took it to be sequential
Lawrie honest question. Are you never scared to get stung by nettles to get to old vehicles? 😂
Not really. They're only nettles
Your like to dislike ratio made me laugh. What’s not to like about an old diesel tractor
you said 1936? it had some Anderson connector? And possibly some digital electronics too. Yummy.
Will you restore the tractor ?, it sure needs a home and some love 😄
Sadly not this one, owner wants to keep it
@@lmm ow i see why, i hope it will get a restoration though and get better taken care of, when we bought a new property before we moved in there now we got everything inside the 2 outbuildings and the old house except for 2 tractors whom the owner wants to give to he's nephew =( i know the owner he's my former taxi driver uffe's dad so i was surprised to find out that the tractors belonged to him and that antonia's dad is he's nephew i only met uffe's dad once when i was at primary school uffe had to get some students living in another village while he's dad took me and several others who lived in the same village as i did home we got along really well and talked together and when i got home i got out of he's car but when i was gonna close the door it wouldn't close so we tried to figure out the problem me and him and we got the problem solved and closed the door and said good bye, man he was a really nice guy i gotta say, he's 2 tractors is a porsche 308 diesel super and nuffield universal 3 😁 my grandpa also has an old tractor a Mccormick International 434, i thought about getting a ferguson te 20 as my first tractor and a david brown 25d as my second tractor since i love oldies and want to have 2 of my own, our family owns a 1981 fiat 880 dt backhoe which dad and i are working on bringing the electronics on it to life it's a nice tractor and special for it's kind 😊
Beg pardon, but why is the 8th Lawrie Goes A Little Loco episode private? I know it exists because it appeared in my notifications
There is a technical fault with the video after it had been rendered causing audio to drop out. We are investigating and hopefully will have it back up shortly.
@@lmm No worries, hope things go well
Your new Lawrie goes loco is listed as private and banned in Australia -----
a TEF i got a TED petrolium one ;)
Is TED the petrol / TVO one?
@@lmm petrol and petrolium

The wee Fergie is running not too badly at all
Sounds good doesn't it!

Hi
Isn't that just 8N or 9N?
Similar, but different
Wow tire seem to not have any dry rot at all for an abandoned tractor...give me a break

Is that your new toy
Save the fergi
82 Bore
Needs a bit of work, but sounds really healthy...
Appropriate tee shirt laurie
Thank you!
Own a TO 30 Ferguson now for twenty five years, friend of mine said, " if I can turn it over, I can get it to run. " ?
I think that's the basic things with these old tractors - it'll go 😂
what is the next one? a steam tractor?
