Love seeing life breathed back into these old units. A few bits and bobs and a stray bolt from the floor, along with a bit of determination, were just what the doctor ordered.
Back in 1973, I used to drive a grey Fergy just like this one. The front of the vehicle featured a hydraulic lifting bucket, and another man twice broke the axel arm of the front tire when excavating in hard clay on a hill. That didn't sit well with our employer. However, I felt that for the time, they were a good tractor.
I stayed in the cottage of a retired farmer, he still had his original bought Ferguson which he used to mow the village play fields once a week. Oh and yes he also had his dad's one in the same barn.
Now THAT was a worthwhile “Will it Run” episode. Fitter Matt and I would consider that family heirloom steak. I suspect Granddad was smiling down on you today.
Great job. I used to cut grass at a sports club with a TE20 Petrol/TVO and gang mowers. I was 14 yo then. Great fun summer job. Standard Triumph engine was brill, always started and ran well. Starter was operated by a switch on the gear lever. Push over to the right and up. Another great vid, ta muchly.
Only bother with the P3 conversions is the petrol backends were a bit weak for the tourque, what killed a lot of them off , the factory Diesel Fergie was just about a different tractor altogether
I spent hours driving our (factory) diesel (with the ki-gas) as a child, with a PTO concrete mixer on the back while dad built our outbuildings. They had a big brass knob sticking out of the side of the gearbox you had to hold down with the side of your knee before you could engage the starter position. The petrol/tvo units had a blanking plug there.
Loved the pun about the battery leads, "at least they left us these, which is one positive" .......... brilliant, if you ever get bored with tanks, a career on the stage beckons.
Now that brought back memories. Learned to drive on one of them...almost sixty years ago. Downside was that, as soon as I was reasonably proficient, I somehow found myself volunteered to tow the muck spreader. Happy days!🤣🤣🤣
first thing i ever drove was a Fergy on family friends farm, used to go every year for a very long time, as a kid i remember starting the old Fergy aged about 9 or 10, stand behind it, behind one back wheel, ignition on, push up on the tyre tread to bump start, good old girl started every time - the second thing i ever drove was an old Army Pig, 6 wheel drive, and then later i learnt to drive on the road
Most of them ones round my ways are "20 Diesels". Never did see a petrol one. The Massy 35 and 35x were my learner vehicles when I was around knee high
@@k-mc94 The irony is, our man had to dump his wallet at the till prior to fuelling, as he had been misidentified as one of them due to a) grime b) the Transit pickup c) the array of 25 litre drums.
You must be in England I mean with that accent and right hand drive good man wish I could send a tug boat over and drag yous over and park you beside Vancouver Island maby bring Ireland first

A generation of country folks are so familiar with the Little Grey Fergie. great to see it running.

Grey Fergie was the first thing i ever drove, farming aged 12. Amazing machines. It was still pushing a powerhoe last time I was on the farm.
Got to like old kit being brought back to life. Bit of paint and a service that will be worth a few sheckels .... 👍👍

Nice job!. Great you still have that physical connection/memory with your Dad! Nuff said.
those lovely people preventing the battery leaking and disolving the battery tray on everything
Great video. I have a 1951 TEA 20 Ferguson. Great tractors.

Henry Ford and his gentlemans hand shake screwed Ferguson for sure. Thanks for the video!
Love the way you have a new cap and still have the tag on it 😂
Dad had a Ferguson on the farm when I was a kid. It was mine to use and maintain. So many laps around the fields on the old girl pulling the hay rake.
That sounds like a great time you had .

That is one good video and I bet it brought back good memories. Farmers are so lucky I hope you appreciate what you have.
Had to get the Cosby Sauce, I see. Cosby's Consent in a Can, Diesels love it.
Peg would be proud.

There is a local winery here that has one of those with a 253 V8 adapted onto the front and they tow a spray cart with it.
That brings back some memories. Called it a Vaaljapie in South Africa (rough translation drab bloke)
My brother's still got one working on the Farm a P3 grey Ferguson he rebuilt the front axle
Love your approach on your videos. Are you doing anything with the M38a1 jeep that's in the background there?

You could get a Ferguson 20 4 cylinder diesel engine to
What year is that greenish Jeep?

Oh dear, not starting after being run isn’t good :o Still a cool machine though, especially with the period engine upgrade :o)
Wot no tanks?

If you want I could do a start up video of that, could be tricky
@@MrHewes yeah give it a shot that'd be real cool
Hi love the videos, but find sound of voices is not loud enough at times, for in the Fergi video
Learned to drive on a P3 when aa were a lad🤓
I've never seen anyone getting Ray Meairs on a tractor before .😏
I know red diesel has gone up almost 2x in the last few years but its still cheaper. Why would you put white diesel into this?
We ran out at home
White diesel ?
Co-op thought you were a pikey.
💀💀💀🤣
That particular co-op think everyone is a Pi🔑
I guess it was "You and associates" that chopped off the batteries with all your usual finesse. Great when you can get away with it!
You must be in England I mean with that accent and right hand drive good man wish I could send a tug boat over and drag yous over and park you beside Vancouver Island maby bring Ireland first
OMG your stock of wood is amazing

Putting white diesel in an off road vehicle, especially one specifically designated for farming operaþons just means that you must be in love with the customs and excise department of Charlie's government.
