... Thank you very much, Sir Here in Denmark I used the exact same Ferguson to bring home firewood from a local forrest; my youngest son, some 21 years of age and first time in a tractor, drove it to and from the forrest some 9 times - an hour each time... Took us a couple of weeks to get the wood home - me just helping as much as I could... I never would have made it without him, but - did we both admire this ol' tractor from the fifties getting the job done! Man - did I enjoy it just sitting there on the machine with a son... I'll never forget it... The Ferguson is back in the barn... Waiting for new adventures ... Thank you Kind regards Kim, Denmark
@@kimjensen8207 thank you for watching, what a great story! Thank you for sharing that! Great little tractor and I'm sure it's sitting there, ready and willing, waiting for it's next adventure. Thanks, Brendon
Those are good little tractors. Very similar to the N series Fords, but had a much better engine. An 8N Ford with the flathead engine almost won't get out of its own way. Good idea moving the tires out farther apart. Much better for stability when you have hills. Take good care of an old tractor and it will take good care of you! Thank you for sharing, Sir! Hope you have a good week!
Vintage Fergusons are the way to go! You can buy one and refresh parts on them for the downpayment on a new tractor, and have no loan payments. I'd add an "over running spline adapter" on this model Ferguson (and the Ford Ns) since they don't have a live-PTO system. Without live PTO, the swinging brush hog blades can continue to drive the tractor wheels even when you have disengaged the engine. People have run through fences and into ditches. Ferguson 35 and newer added live-PTO.
The distributor shafts on these can wear to the point where there is no adjustment left in the points. It only really bites when the tractor is upto temperature, it is is 70 years old, stuff wears out. So if you are going to change the Dizzy cap, go the whole hog and get the Bareco electronic ignition kit, one of the best upgrades you can make to a TE20 or an FE35.The really cool bit about these and the 35s is that the parts are pretty much all readily available. I had an E1A Fordson and it is almost impossible to get new parts for those, even things like points.
The older the better that goes for tractors and that also goes for vehicles for as I'm concerned you can still work on the older stuff if you break down you can pretty well fix it on the spot no computers when you've got computers and stuff you always have problems and you can't fix it you've got to take it in to a shop which costs you way too much money so yes the older the better especially here with Chevy trucks and Dodge trucks after 1980 they're no good😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

I picked up my first tractor a 1951 to20 here in the US and got it running but needs few thinks to get it tip top. 3 acres and will be perfect for me
