Stripping our Ferguson TE20 Hydraulic Lift Cover 

Another great video. Thanks for taking the time to put these out.

Thank you, Lance. I'm learning so much from your videos and just love all of your honesty and humour that goes along with them.

Thank you Lance for sharing your wonderful and vast experiences with us- you are a wonderful mechanical engineering teacher and I enjoyed your simple explanations of so many sophisticated mechanical mechanisms, thank you!

Lance. computers are not my hot point!! Thanks for all youve done so far in your films and advice. I have uploaded a latest film on my channel mainly for you to look at. Your opinion would be grately appreciated!!

I love watching him work such a gentleman and very smart man

You have a great sense of humour Lance another great video 👍 thanks

Great video Lance - look forward to the rebuild!

Top quality videos great for younger guys interested in tearing stuff apart and bringing them back to life should be more of us, also got to say mate im very happy of the service from Queensland tractors spares say Gday to Nicole mate she does a great job

Hey Lance Thanks for these videos. I recently acquired a 1950 Ford 8n with a Ferguson Rear end. It has the AL cross piece in it. Your videos have been incredible in helping me get this old girl working. She isn't there yet but hopefully I will have the lift working soon.

Excellent, my quadrant I seized. I was watching and I see what's inside, before I pull it out, its good to see I can pull it out in situ, legend Bundy 👍

Hello Lance, Sometimes it is just amazing how these old tractors come apart, I did say sometimes!!!!!! regards, Charles.

Lance, thank you very much for highlighting the threads problem …. I’ve been scratching my head while working on my jubilee…never thought the threads were the problem with my new parts 😔. Thanks again.

You help a lot Thanks keep it coming

Thank you Harry Ferguson!!!!!!.

So a new piston is the Viagra for the linkage ! Good job again ..

That would be great if you can fit the position control. I would love to see how that works. Keep up the good work Lance it helps everyone.

Hello Lance, Good video... some fun quotes from your good self... I hope you got that lottery ticket... Take care. Paul,,

Hi Lance - I just want to let you know that I fully enjoy watching your restoration videos. I find your way of explaining how something works, really makes it sink in with me. Also, as I am visual learner, it helps a great deal that you take your time filming everything, as wel as taking stuff apart and putting it back together. My son and I will be having a go at getting our 1952 TE-A20 running again, when new parts arrive this week. I am confident I can figure out how to measure if we are getting ignition now, and I am sure I will be able to adjust the timing as well. Only thing I am wondering, should I connect the indicator lamp differently when I have a positive ground tractor, or should I still just measure from the distributor to ground?

I was trying to unthread my draft adjustment. Got it to start loosening with some heat, but towards the end it got tight and I'm pretty sure I bent one of the control arm forks trying to do so :( I'm in the middle of a clutch replacement and some rewiring, but once I get the two halves back together, I'm going to pull this top cover off and see if I did any damage. Thanks for another great video. They've been very helpful

Amazing to watch you videos! Could you give some advice on getting the arms off my TEA20? They seem more stuck than yours. I've been hammering and spraying rust loosener for a day or 2 and they won't come off!! Is using heat a good idea? If there is brass bushings in there they wouldn't like the heat too much, if they still don't come off so I can swap them? I do have a press as well but is it a good idea to try and press the rod through with arms on?

Thank you very much for your restoration video. I would like to know of my tractor that have two levers to make the three point appliance up or down, I need some explanation about how they work. And if they work together or every one has a different job.

hi you do a great job on tutorials for that i thank you and you seem to have develope a device to split the forks on the 9n control valve is it for sale

Would the piston size be different on a TO ? thanks for the videos they are a help my float spring spins too lucky me !! Cant seem to get it to lower .

Awesome video, can you toss the felt onto draft rod on purpose? Is there such a fix for 35s for hyd. piston sealing? Just asking because my mate Mike is struggling with that.

Harry Ferguson's three point system control is a lot more complex than it at first seems like.

Hi Lance hope your well as I’ve said before your videos are brilliant I’m on my 7th furgy now lol. You say in video the lift shaft comes out one way , which way please???.regards Arthur, UK

Greetings Lance! I will be putting my Top Cover together soon and the amount of crap around the shaft was tremendous and had to press the shaft out during disassembly. The manual says not to put anything on the lift shaft when putting back together to prevent the collection of dirt; does not seem logical with the rust factor and taking it apart in the future. What are you thoughts with coating the splines with anti-seize, or, anti-seize and a layer of grease over that. I appreciate your experience and cannot stop watching your videos; thank you.

Hey Lance, did you find out if you can buy a shaft for the lift cover? I am not able to get the lift arms off of the shaft and will have to cut them off. I don't believe they have ever been off since 1952. Thanks for videos they sure help,

Remember that lotto ticket Lance 😂

Hi Lance, another good one, I'm in need of your help please, I'm restoring a DB990 and I've heard you say in the past, you wouldn't do a vid on painting, could you please do a stew and tell us how to get paint into all the hard to reach areas, I tried painting as components but you end up still having to paint bolt heads etc, I've tried to paint as a tractor but cannot get to the rear of some of the faces, ie DPA pumps, between the manifold pipes, you know the places, access to your many years experience would be greatly appreciated

I love this video great info. My buddy Larry calls the lube here in Arizona Panther Piss. Lol 😂

Good evening, I have a question on a ferguson te20. The pto shaft is stuck on . The lever shifts forward and back but is still spins. Any advice on where to look?

Hello Lance, at the end of this video you mention the surge relief valve and that you were going to "experiment" with it in another video. Did you end up doing that cos I have been unable to find it? Thanks.

Hi Lance, love the videos. Im having trouble with my tef 20 lift that i cant figure out. It can lift something very light, but once any strain comes on the top link it wont lift. It goes jerking or stays static. Ive tighten/turned the draft as much as i can, still a slight bit of looseness in it it though. Aby suggestions as to what it could be is greatly appreciated!!

Just wondering if the spring to the yoke was broken would the hydraulics drop & not lift again ?

I am trying to remove the seized shaft that holds the two lift arms and can it be removed and installed from either side please?

Could you explain how the draft control system works?

Hay Lance could you not just remove all the rings and replace them with 3 orings? Just an idea

HAHA! Possum Pee, at the shop, my relative owns, we call his son, my cousin Matt, Weasel. We call WD40 Weasel piss. So if we get low, we start yelling to Matt, "Weasel! Come Piss on this! Your Slacking!! The can is Empty!"

Hi Lance I have a question for you about my tea 20 I raised my hydraulics up and it would not go down doesn't seem to move anymore any thoughts on it

Hi Lance. Bit of a puzzler, my draught control spring seems to be working backwards. When the spring is pushed into the tractor the arms lower rather than raise. The manual quadrant lever lowers and raises the implement as it should. Any ideas as to how the system could be operating in reverse ?

Hello. I would like to ask you something about my fathers TE20. He has some problems with hydraulic. Hydraulic is working but when the plow is in the ground and has a load, the plow will not lift out of the ground. All other connections can be raised and they work normally, the harrow without load is raised by the hydraulics without problems. My question is what could be the problem with the hydraulics when the plow is attached? I hope you understand what I wanted to say because English is not my native language. Thank you very much in advance for your answer!

We call it panther p in the states.

Got those lift arms off without setting yourself on fire like I did more than a year and a half ago. It's healed up pretty well but still looks like melted plastic. The center sleeve on mine was way stuck too so we put it in a 20 ton press and heated it with 2 oxy torches bright orange before it let out one heck of a bang once it started to move. That's Wisconsin locktite for ya 😁 I replaced the shaft with a good used one and a sleeve as well. You are right, they are not reproduced, I looked many places. I still have to drop the bottom out of mine and even though I disconnected my valve, somehow I broke it so I ordered a new one. Surprisingly though the gear oil was clean and not much muck in the bottom. Hoping I won't have to do the pump as it works good and my cylinder looks brand new with no scratches so I didn't mess with it. Cheers!

Safety ... Why I just want you to know I still have six fingers left to be safe with.🙄😱
