A video on the restoration work carried out by myself on a vintage 1950’s Ferguson subsoiler. In this video it’s is transformed from a lump of rust into a fully working machine
Harry Ferguson would be proud of you MR b, he was a man away ahead of his time, what with the one spanner and all, great job you done there, greatest little tractor ever
Nice video. And useful. Particularly the hot riveting the coulter disc. I was given a Fergie subsoiled as a birthday present but unfortunately it has no disc assembly. You have given me the inspiration to make up one one day.
I had one of those.... in really good condition, with the disc. It just needed a new point But I lent it to someone and never saw it again 😢😭 As an apprentice at Burgess I spent an awful lot of my time hot riveting plough discs
Another great job Richard & another great video, i put one of them brass plates on my fergie tractor & like you said poor quality & a fortune in costs.
Hi ,yes interesting, I grew up around these implements in Australia ,the problem was the tears Ferguson didn't have the power to pull it in normal soil but only in a swamp that then left the furgy bogged, my family purchased one to rip rabbits burrows we also tried the Ferguson mole drain it was semi successful but the poor Ferguson just lacked power ,
Interesting. Was the Fergie you had petrol or diesel? We have some sand land at work and when that gos hard it gos really hard!! I guess with your baking sun you can have real problems with compaction
