Hi Lance, I don't mean to be critical, but, I thought, correct me if I'm wrong, the edge-finder was meant to be rotating when you are finding the edge, that would overcome the problem of it not being true. I have never used the electronic version but I have used the mechanical type which click out when moved past center, that sort had to be rotating to function.
G Day asgardgeoff, It is part of a kit that has a 1" block that you touch off on the mill for exact depth. The instruction for it was just touching off on this one but Im sure rotating it in a chuck or collet would be fine as well. I have a bigger one with a sprung ball on the end which is a stationary one too but I will give it a go and see what difference it makes. To tell you the truth I had never considered spinning it as it wasnt in the instruction.
its a small world, I have only just found your vids and I find them so educational and helpful. as it turns out I have bought numerous things off you to restore my 1957 grey and gold and tea 20. I think i heard you say on one of your vids ebay is not the best way to get gear from you. in future I will call and order over the phone. I have another tea 20, ford 2n and a 135 to do next. it takes me around 4 years to do one properly so it might be a while yet.
+Matt Haby G Day Matt, Taking your time is good, its not a race. Thanks for watching, call 1300 850 097 and talk to Ross or Judy and they can help with parts. Im around sometimes but I can be hard to reach sometimes.
Hello Lance. I have an old Massey Ferguson 285 that's not turning anymore. I took off the steering arm where the inner tie rod ends are bolted to and found the bushing had been ground up between the shaft and the arm and have worn out the grooves if i can say that. Anyway, i don't know how to put the busing back on and don't want to damage it. So i'm wondering if you already have a video on that particular part. Please help. Thank you.
Another great video Lance - thank you. Looking to get a mill to perform the same task with my TE20. What mill do you have / would you recommend? Cheers
No but it may be worth giving Gordon Ellis a call on 02 6723 2854 he will probably be able to help with the water pump mounting housing as well as he wrecks some Fergies. Tell him I sent you he is in the Fergy Club with me.
Lance, I fitted a grease nipple where you did and found it fouled up the fan cowl and unable to see the nipple at at all, did you have that problem ??.
No it is for using not looking at, I have spare standard axles if I ever feel inclined to go to a steel bush but it does not make sense to do that to a tractor we will use.
Lance I have finally finished watch every episode of Kangaroo Stew. I have enjoed them very much and look forward to viewing a lot more. You must be a very serious tractor enthusiast. John Deere green coolant in your bandsaw and Kubota orange grease for lubrication. LOL Also I have noticed your tool post is the plunger type, do you prefer that one over the Wedge type. From other videos i have watched people seem to prefer the wedge type.
The tool post was just the first one I come along when I was looking, I had not seen the wedge ones back then. I cant complain about it though it works very well.
Lovely job should last another 50 years, but petrol and diesel is being fazed out in the future I can't think what will happen to all the dear old vintage tractors.
@2:50 In the US they call them "ZERKS", here in Canada (and the rest of the free world) we call them "NIPPLES". We can say nipple without getting embarrassed and giggling like a school girl. Mind you all bets are off when we have to ask for a ballcock.
Your video on this was very good. Thank you for your time,you are a man well appreciated by me and others I'm sure.
Thanks Dave, Glad you got something from it.
good job on the bush repair. i like the dial indicator holder as well i will be making one of those as well. thanks for sharing lance.
+Jamie Buckley Thanks for watching, that dial indicator is a handy little tool for sure. Go for it.
Nice job on the TEA 20.I have one its a 1953 or 54 soon going to need that done.
+scott smith Most tractors seem to need a tidy up on the front axle pivot and this seems a good fix. Thanks for watching .
Nice repair on that tractor. It seems like old tractors never die if someone is willing to do some work on them. Thanks for the video.
+cerberus Yeah I like to fiddle with them a bit, thanks for watching

Question for you lance. How did you manage to pull the original Bush out?
I usually punch them out or split them.
I have a 1954 TED20 serial no starts with 399. Does this axle need to be bored out Do yo think Lance??
I dont think so, it is a fairly late tractor but with these old girls you can never be absolutely sure.

Not on a 285 Im sorry.
@@BundyBearsShed no worries. I got some ideas from some of your other videos. Thank you very much for sharing.
Another great video Lance - thank you. Looking to get a mill to perform the same task with my TE20. What mill do you have / would you recommend? Cheers
Mine is a little Hare and Forbes HM48. Its really a hobby mill but by going steady I seem to be able to get things done ok.
@@BundyBearsShed Cheers, I'll get looking!
I seem to need every part possibly. Do you sell the bracket that bolts onto the engine? My unit is rusted out
Thanks
No but it may be worth giving Gordon Ellis a call on 02 6723 2854 he will probably be able to help with the water pump mounting housing as well as he wrecks some Fergies. Tell him I sent you he is in the Fergy Club with me.
@@BundyBearsShed thank you for your help. Much appreciated
@@BundyBearsShed Gordon found me both items. I will pick them up in 2 weeks.
I have applied for membership also.
Thanks for your help
Lance, I fitted a grease nipple where you did and found it fouled up the fan cowl and unable to see the nipple at at all, did you have that problem ??.
I think I ended up fitting a 90deg nipple from memory, it's been a while back now
Thanks Lance.@@BundyBearsShed
the novelty of antiques is the state of its original condition. Hope you haven't ruined that by the modification

I just burnt wires off from key switch to light on the right finder.
Disconnect wire from switch.
Now no power at switch
possibly fuse or burnt contacts.
Lovely job should last another 50 years, but petrol and diesel is being fazed out in the future I can't think what will happen to all the dear old vintage tractors.
I suppose there will be another option available.
Like everybody got that equipment in there garage seriously dude.
Might be time to start investing in getting handy 👌
