Ferguson FE35 Grey and Gold Restoration Part 13 Assembling the Brakes 

Well done Lance another job well done ,great to see even the best of the best struggle with bloody springs .Keep em coming mate

Well Lance, the Lord does work in mysterious ways. The young feller what painted your tractor gave the rest of us some good videos to watch. May have been a slight headache for you but I'm thinking by now you forgave give. lol Bloody nice job so far, looking forward to the rest of the rebuild. Keep smiling son.

Great video Lance and a very informative series. I seen you were having a few attempts and getting the springs on. A trick I learned from my dad doing the same job which was to get a piece of tie wire or baling string and tie it in a loop. Slide the loop between the spring coils about 3/4 of the way up the spring. Hook the spring on the other end you can then use the wire loop to tension the spring with your hand. The hook end of the spring is free and you can push it on with a screwdriver or pliers. Release the tension and pull the loop off. Your fingers are never near the spring hook and even if it does slip it can't fly off. Might be something to try on your next break job. I learned to drive on a similar massey and your series brings back great memories. Keep up the good work.

Hi Lance - great work, coming along nicely.

Great video!! Laughed at the use of the specialist pliers though! :)

The spring kept slipping off. It's good to see that even someone who knows what they are doing sometimes has trouble with with things like that. Makes me feel much better about my mechanical abilities. Carry on.

Great video Lance, I'd be wearing safety glasses in case a spring flew off using that screwdriver, only joking thanks for your time setting this up great video.Cheers.

There is a grove on the handle of his spring tool that makes sliding the springs back on much easier. This groove is often overlooked.

Hi Lanz . I use a big philips screwdriver to get that big spring on , it doesn't slip off the post . Great video , thanks

Another great video

Bundy Bear... nah... Wizard Bear or maybe Bundy Wizard is more like it. You just helped me with the cotter pins and my next job was to put the brakes back on. Once again, your videos have helped me, showing where the brake springs go. Thank you! p.s. I do have one of the those brake spring tools, but I've only ever been successful when I just use the hook to pull the spring in place like you did on the first one. I bent the handles trying to stretch the spring when I tried use them as intended.

Great vid

Merci pour cette explication très claire

The other end of those pliers are for setting that heavy spring on the post. Just twist and you're done.

Great videos very informative, if the brake pads are rubbing the drum will this heat up and cause the oil seal on the drive shaft to fail and leak back end oil ??

I wasn't able to make that brake spring plier work either so I go in my auto body tool box and get one of my green, T handled, hooked dent puller. We don't drill holes and pull dents with them anymore but they work good for brake springs and headlight retainer springs on old cars. They still sell them at car shows and they are cheap, under $20.00 for pack of 4.Just pull with both hands and hook it. What does that spring looking thing on the brake actuator shaft, up against the back side of the backing plate do? I have them on my TO20 and they are pretty rusty, to the point they probably will break once I fiddle with it. I have not seen any replacements. Lots of helpful stuff here for me, thanks!

Hey, can you get the bolts which the nut goes onto to hold the manifold of a mf 35 out? And if you can what would you recommend? The threads are worn and the nut won’t sit tight anymore thanks

Hey Bundy ive seen a lot of videos on ford 8ns but no one ever show how the pto lever cover goes on the one im working on will not move. the lever is pointing forward and will not move

Lance, I noticed my TO30 brake plates had the F1 Felt dust protector in the outer grove. I see this part for the Ford 8N tractors. What are your thoughts about using this feature? I have not seen you use this or comment about it on your videos. Thank you.

How did you fair with the rubber brake shoes. Did you find them better? I’ve had a look on QTP but can only find code: 1250 with hard lining.

Wrong end of the brake tool for installing a spring over a stud. The handle side has what is a bit of a spoon looking end. Cupped side on the stud and use it like you did your screw driver. Or just take the pliers and toss em in the bin. Screw driver and needle nose vise grip pliers is all I've ever needed.

How do you adjust the pedal height. On my mf35x the pedals are close to the floor.

That's a nice hammer for delicate work, do you have a bigger one for heavy work?....lol.

Reckon anybody who asks how to use that 'proper' tool has no intention of doing the job..... Use what you've got in the best way is how l roll. Pliers anybody!

Hi guys bought a 35x and need someone to fix the rear brakes located at Bungadoo near Gin Gin any help would be appreciated. Mike

Dude, you're stressing me bad w/ the spring pliers! You aren't using them right! ...look at the other end CLOSELY :=))

Hi mate check your bundy bear in box , just sent you something wierd that came through on your notifications . cheers .

Lance hope you put the old girl to real work.
