Sparex Ferguson TEA20 # 6 Removing the Liners 

Mate you're video's are great.

Wow - bottom of the ocean indeed....Looks like something out of the Titanic's engine room! Very impressed at the speed you are producing these vids Lance!

Merciful minerva Lance,...I would having second thoughts about not having that crank out. Your a brave man!

Just acquired a TEA20 over here in the US. Not sure how it got here but there is very little info. Avail. Your videos are a life saver.

thanks for showing us lance ,if i lived near you id come and work for you for nowt , i love these old machines . very nice tool you made there .

G'day mate that was very interesting I couldn't believe the shit that those liners had on them, and at first I had no idea why you were taping up the oil holes but it all became clearer thanks mate. John

Hi Lance, love your videos, especially these one on the rebuilding the engine. As it makes me want to pull in one of my old the tractors into the shed and give it a go, only thing is I need to unseize it first.

Thanks for sharing mate. Brilliant.

Excellent - well dodged!

Oh, all that junk around the liners looks menacingly familiar!

I don't know anything about it but I have heard that the engine rebuilding people soak the block in an acid bath to clean out the water jacket and give it a general cleaning. Looking at that you can certainly see why a company would do that. Your puller worked really good.

The new copper liner gaskets I put in were thicker than the paper ones and made the liners proud of the block (which I know they're supposed to be) but the height went out of limits. Will be interesting to see if that happens with this rebuild...

Long time viewer, first time commenter!! Love ur vids lance. I have a mf35 petrol, is the process basically the same for the head removal and piston removal? Also, I don't have the ability to make a liner puller. What is another method that you've found work's?

Gday Lance! Put that tape in the microwave for 30 seconds, make it like new! They make a huge assortment of wire wheels for your die grinder.. just got to take that roll lock off!

Good day Wow those liners. That would help to keep engine hot to I would think. Many yrs ago I was told always use rain water or soft, not drinking water, up here in Canada. Thanks

For the REALLY STUCK liners I’ve seen a portable hydraulic set up with hardened tooling capable of actually busting out the casting of the block, so use one with care!

Blimey the state of that cooling system was shocking. I must admit that having seen that I think I would have converted to splitting/engine out and hot-tanking that block. If you measure the bigends and find they are worn will that decide whether you pull the mains as well? I think you said in an earlier video you weren't going to touch the crank did you not? Never know until you get into it though.

Strewth !!!! With all that mud in the block how did any coolant even manage to get in there? The first air cooled engine?

I made a sleeve puller for the fordson major 40 year ago.

That cooling system was just plain nasty. I did notice at 6:03 your rear wrist pin was slipping on the block. Better you cleaning that snot out than me!

What coolant was used looks like swamp water do you have distilled water down under& good antifreeze should be ok

Hi Lance. I'm one of many that enjoy watching your posts. Ive got a small 20 acre hobby farm out bush in central Vic near Bendigo about 250 k's from where I live. Ive built a workshop and I'm just waiting on finishing the concrete so I can get stuck in and do one of those in frame rebuilds myself. Ive never done anything like this before but I reckon following your rebuild on your Tea20 I'll be able to do it, using SPAREX parts bough from you of course ! Can you tell me if there's anywhere I can get a hold of a puller just like yours as I don't have or don't know anyone with a lathe .How about making a few in your "SPARE" time and flogging them, Id buy one for sure and I reckon you'd make a kill-en. Regards Jim. Melb.

I'm making a puller similar to yours to remove the wet liners on my TO20. I know the liner bore is 3.188. Would you know the OD of the bottom of the liner? Thanks

hi--is it the same for a tef, as i would like to do my fergy

When you pulled the liners out of the 135 you had to break them out. I take it the liners on the TEA20 are different otherwise you would have pulled the135 too. It seems easier once you have the puller set up.

Howdy From Kentucky USA. I have a poor man's question. Got a TO20 and seems I'm leaking coolant around the sleeve O-rings. Would it be possible to pull the sleeves, replace the O-rings and re-use the same sleeves? Mine also has the notorious cracks in the webbing between each cylinder.

nice

You replace the liners and not have them honed when they are pulled out ?. I will make sure I have coolant in my updated TE20

WOW, thanks for this video, I am one of those stupid blokes who uses water in my TE20, Ill go and flush it immediately.

sir; Thank you for this informative video. I believe I now will be able to save money when I rebuild my future tractor engine. Please have two shots and a beer on me.

Hate to ask you but I believe you know what you are talking about. I have a TE massy Ferguson how much difference is there than the TEA that you are work on and where can I find pets for it number on it is a 77786
