    Thank you! I"ve got a '56 here in Canada, and needed this to make sure i was doing everything correctly after getting the tiny little carburetor cleaned out... Such a cute little tractor!

    In Portugal we only got the TEF, the diesel one. It is really rare to see a Gasoline tractor. What a nice sound :)

      It's the same engine that was used in the Triumph TR sports cars, so it's quite a growl for a 24bhp tractor! TEFs make more of a gurgling sound.

    Nice little TE-D20, mine was 1950 and I've restored it this year. I'm a little envious of this little beauty as it has the full light kit on it! A lot of money's worth in this tractor once restored for what it is because of its light kit being original

    Excellent video,I just bought a Te20 last week,It was lying for years in a yard,All the coolant had been drained out of it and i was curious to see would it even start,But we filled it with 5 litres of antifree,new engine oil and filters and about 20 litres of gearbox oil,And it fired up first go,On the button,It's a 1956 model and its a flying machine.

    @frclintpower: It's a safety feature- the gear stick has a 'start' position which you have hold it in before the engine will crank, even with the key turned. It means you can't try and start the tractor with it in gear.

  • @jozg44
    @jozg44  15 років тому +4

    I'm in the UK, which is where the tractor was made as well. It's very simple to drive- only 4 gears (and reverse), a hand throttle, mechanical brakes and very easy steering, plus it can turn in really tight spaces. Thanks for the comment.

    Thank you. The peg certainly helps as you don't need to press the gear lever into 'Start' with your knee. In the summer with decent battery connections this thing starts easily as well, it just needs a little help in the cold.

  • @jozg44
    @jozg44  15 років тому

    Sounds about right :) - this one was lying in a field for years and goats had eaten all the wiring. We rigged up a system using Land Rover parts, put in some fresh fuel and it started on the third swing of the handle- since then it's only had new ignition wiring, a new distributor cap and rotor arm, a replacement oil pressure gauge and one new tyre in the 12 years we've had it on top of the occasional oil change. It really deserves an overhaul and a new coat of paint...

    Yes- the tractor would originally have been a 6V with a petrol engine (a TEA-20), but at some time has had a factory-supplied conversion kit installed to take it to 12V and a dual-fuel petrol/TVO , enginemaking it into a TED-20.

    @GearboxStudios Yep! I've still got the original 'cyclops' single headlamp for the top of the bonnet, the spotlight for the rear wing and the actual sidelamp units somewhere. Sadly the sidelamp bowls are too rusted for them to be refitted.

    I didn't know that ferguson tractors had a kerosene version. I thought they only came in petrol or Diesel. My cousin had a TEA20 petrol tractor, It was the first motorised vehicle i ever drove. Done a few hundred hours on her and still love getting behind the wheel every chance i get.

  • @noelstractors-firewood57

    A kerosene model would be expensive to operate at today’s prices of kerosene. Neat to have one thou. I have a 1951 TEA20 Ferguson.

  • @jozg44
    @jozg44  12 років тому

    That's just what it's always needed when starting from cold, more so in properly cold weather like that was. It doesn't help if the kerosene hasn't been properly purged from the last run.

  • @jozg44

    You can, but the engine has a lower compression ratio than the petrol version so produces less power. Paraffin/kerosene is also cheaper.

      It was a 12 volt - the tractor had been converted at some point. If you need a 6V then any decent 6-volt car battery will do - it's a car engine in a petrol Fergie after all! Try Lincoln or Alpha Batteries.

      no the te 20 were the first and started production in 1946 with a continental z -120 engine until 1948 the tea-20 was introduced with slight more power and a standard motor company engine.

    It's 'gas'. More accurately it starts on gasoline and then once it's warmed up you switch it over to run on kerosene (but still spark-ignition).

    Hey do you have to start it in gear?

    • @jozg44
      @jozg44  Рік тому

      The complete opposite, in fact. The gear lever has a fifth 'start' position which engages the starter motor, so by definition it can't be in gear when it starts - a clever safety feature. Originally these tractors just had an 'Off/On' ignition key and you used the gear lever to start. This one has been fitted with a more normal 'Off/On/Start' key, so you have to hold the gear lever in the right place and turn the key to start.

    To be really anal, this one's a 1949 TEA-20 which has been converted to TED-20 spec. So I'm never sure which is the most accurate way to describe it. It has a TEA serial number so that's what I go with.
