G Day Jonathan, Welcome aboard, I enjoyed helping the internationally renowned Malc, and it seems he got a buzz out of it as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I had the same problem with my TEF20. Everything was rusted like it was welded together. I putted a 100 mm M20 (metric) bold through the right eye and screwed a nut on the M20 bold on the inside (between the bushing and the right eye). Now you can tighten te M20 bolt, but not so much that the right eye breaks of. Then I hit M20 bolt from the outside with a sledgehammer and it came!. This way you can apply 2 forces on the bushing; Tightening the M20 bolt and the force of the sledgehammer. Repeat this procedure as it will only come a mm at a time and use lots of penetrating oil!
Good job smacking that punch with your right arm you lefty, I wasn't so lucky last week and missed. Well, let me tell you. Well guess not. Great vids Lance, watched them all, didn't know I wasn't a subscriber. Am now!
G Day Richard, Yes being a Lefty can have its advantages but it makes it bloody awkward other times. You wouldn't notice a few more bits of bark off mine anyway lol.
Man you are smart with these tractors! What are the main differences between the TO, TE, TEA tractors? I think TO is Tractor Overseas, TE is Tractor England, but not sure about TEA or why Harry Ferguson gave them their names. I'm an American but Massey Ferguson has always been my favorite tractors. I would love to have a MF 135, 230, 235, 245, or a TO tractor restored at my house to put in local parades. Always something I've wanted to do but never been able to. My 231 needs repainting but I just don't know how to do it the right way. Where are you bundybear?
G day 231MF, The TE being tractor England and TO being Tractor overseas is spot on. I will put a list below for you on the others. TEA 20 petrol only (Gasoline) TEB Continental engine narrow tractor TEC Standard engine Narrow TED Standard engine , petrol kerosene or TVO TEE Standard engine petrol kero Narrow TEF Standard Diesel Engine There is many more about 18 in total.
+Bundy Bears Shed Wow! I did not realize there were so many other combinations. Thanks! Do you have videos of your restoration tractor? Would love to see them!
