My TEA 20 is 67 years old, the same age as myself. It has a Horndraulic loader, made in Cardiff. This dear old tractor is in regular use and original. It is a pleasure to work on all the old parts as they require maintenance. Cheers from Australia.
Marvelous stories of this Tractor that I really enjoyed looking at when I was a boy, and still today I wish I could find one to restore and play with. ( I don't think I shall ever 'graduate' from playing with tractors and machinery in general :) Thanks for presenting this great video.
Excellent production. I started in 1953 on family farm near Inverness. But made a career in BBC radio. Still have my Fergy, still have my 1963 STC Microphone. So I know your film was great. Well done. Still run my Fergy in East Lothian. Gregor.
Thank you for this great program; I learned to drive one in County Down just outside Dromore on The Hannah Farm and I have one on my property on Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia
Problem is. What is there around that can replace it? Even a small tractor now you need a computer to tell you what is going on, and half the time the computer is the problem.
That machine and implements - beats anything else ever developed - including Apollo - because it's fed the world. Efficiently, cheaply and mostly safely. You name me any other contrivance by man which has done such great work!
Awesome video, learned a lot about our TEA. If only ours could tell its story. From non matching casting years, to repaired broken parts, I would love to hear how it all happened. Especially how a TEA-20 made it to our farm in ohio.
How could anyone not love the Fergie TE20 series Tractors!! It was Revolutionary & it's a Testament that they are Still used Daily all over the World in 2022! No Vehicle can Compare! 70yr Old Cars are Rarely being Driven, Perhaps to a Classic Car Show, that's about it! Fergie's are still Tilling Paddocks & Slashing Paddocks all Hard Yakka Stuff! Not Show & Shine like a 70yr Old Car! 🙏God Bless Harry Ferguson! His Name is Immortalized Forever Remembered by Every TE20 Operator untill the End of Time!! Amen!🚜👍
We just feed cows in the winter with horses. Partly for nostalgia, partly to keep the horses in shape for the pulling season and partly because when it’s 30-50 below zero tractors don’t start as easily and cold weather operations is hard on the equipment. We do plug our tractors in during cold weather and still use one for feeding calves silage. We had a 8N and a Farmall M-TA in the old days. The Ferguson 3 point is one of the best things to happen to tractors.
you probably dont care at all but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Oakley Reyansh Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Indeed lad so the future generations will be able to see these old machines and what they meant to people the day they were made and still being used nowdays and also get restored 😁
My dream .....my ambition to buy this machine...... 💞I can't express my thoughts towards this beauty.....MF is always lives in every farmer heart....my father is farmer but unfortunately our family try many time to buy but due to financial problems can't afford 🙏🙏🙏...i will buy this 💞💞💞 beauty near future very soon ....TNX MF to serve this unbelievable machine 💞💞💞
I am a proud owner of a 1948 TE20 built in Coventry England .It has a z120 contenental engine and runs like a top .it is 73 years old and doesn't use a drop of oil.The fergusion has better engineering than the Ford Ferguson..it will be around another 73 years if somebody cares for it like I do .
Push down clutch, select gear,let up clutch ,Gently, away they go until you say stop. Notice the jerking as the tractors moved off? They are the most forgiving of machines.
@@leedobson Never mind:-) A Fergie would for give you. At the age of about 9 or 10 I'd fight all comers to sit on the old Fergie going up and down harrowing the feilds. Helath and Saftey would throw forty blue fits now.
Finally! Film of the Fergie doing a nine yard plough. You need an engine that can move itself and drive tools? Fergie TE20. Fix with two hammers and a spanner. Bear in mind though, in the late 40's early 50's the system cost as much as a house. Tractors never were cheap. One other factor not mentioned here that endears Ferguson to farmers, they are safer! With a drawn implelement if it sticks the tractor can climb over its own rear wheels, and you are at best in need of clean underwear. The way the three point link distributes the weight and load, you just stop, and curse, lift the linkage , and go again. Ferguson has saved many lives over the years.
They're strong little buggers, and relatively simple to fix. I've seen some very sick ones, and they still run - if only just. Rebuilt 3 about 10 years ago, and all parts are still available. Not necessarily cheap, but given that they have a useful life of 30+ years, the genuine parts are worth the money.
Cuál es la capacidad de lubricante de la transmisión del Ferguson año 43 a nafta 4 cilindro y que tipo de lubricante lleva y cuál es la capacidad de lubricante de motor lleva y que filtró de lubricante de motor lleva gracias . Un abrazo desde Uruguay
That was a great video. I've got two Ferguson 20's of my own. one of them has a rebuilt engine. have a look on RU-vid and type in Ferguson 20 cleaning sheds
Did they make a gas version? I have a 1954 It looks all original exhaust is underneath out the back like a car. But it is gas. Starts up every time in the winter. Have to add lead to gas. Did they all have the same size engine or did they come with different size motors? Just picked up two implements Massey Ferguson both look like they have only been used like maybe one year on the farm. Amazing tractor! Looking at another one I found in almost mint condition. Thanks, Little Fergie.
To merely add to what Vilberg excellently replied: As for gasoline versions there was a 1.9L and a 2.0L made by Standard company, difference was a couple of extra ponies in the 2.0 (We have one of each). There was the Diesel of course, and the TVO (..we have one). There was also 25000 Fergusons made between 1946 and 1948 with a Continental Z-120 engine, most found their way to the U.S but there are some in Europe as well (.. Eh.. We have one). Then there was the TEF-20 with a High/Low range gearbox box, i.e it was merely a 4 speed TE-20 with a high-low range making it 8 speed.
A nice British copy of the Ford 8N. Ferguson did design the 3 point hitch system for the model 9N but it and the similar 2N model Ford were in production years before TEA 20. The differences between the Ford 8N and Ferguson were few.
Just a small correction to the inaccuracy of the commentary. Harry Ferguson was born & reared in Northern Ireland. The North of Ireland is a different nation entirely and is governed centrally from Brussels.
@@Jason0. People who are unable to think independently, unable to form their own opinions, often refer to Northern Ireland as the north of ireland. They are simple enough folk who have been radicalised over time by the hatemongers of the violent left. Some of them even believe that Ireland is a nation !. It is incredible almost.
1953FergusonTEA20 hi there that would be great , is it the manual which gives all parts , oil ect . my email is newell.colin@googlemail.com thank you so very much , we will start to make good this tracktor with your help. colin
Hi, i just started a restauration project of a 1955 TEA20, is it possible i can get that pdf from you? It would help me big time since it is my first tea20 project. I am doing the work for my 80 year old neighbour who has one and would like to see it back in function
