- Following the last few videos, the next logical step is to take the Fergie for a short drive around the yard to see how it feels, and if things like the clutch, gears and brakes work as expected.
It's rather fitting to get Oscar to do the first drive given how much he contributed to this project in the earlier days.
I hope you enjoy this little jaunt around the yard with a half assembled Ferguson!

Well done Oscar/Gordon,
I’ve followed you near enough from day one, just by chance I caught one of your early videos.
That’s a great achievement to see the TED start & run after all that work.
You worked through all the issues that cropped up, now it just needs to go to paint.
My TED is still in the garage after starting 2 years ago, I still need to find that extra day in the week.
Cheers,
Paul.
Cheam,
Surrey.
Thanks Paul, it has been an amazing journey. Paint prep is underway, as soon as we get that fortnight aka “Summer” we’ll start laying down some paint! 😉🤣
Nice to see it running, well done. Sounds lovely
Thanks Grant. 👍😉
WELL DONE to you all, love the sound.
Thanks Brad 👍😉
Well that is a feel-good achievement. Congratulations
😂 it sure is! Happy days at Waterhouse Forde!
Great to see the everything coming together! Regarding the oil gauge - my ‘53 TEA has an original dealer installed unit in the left gauge hole. As far as I can tell Canadian TEAs were shipped from Coventry with only a temperature gauge installed on the right side of the dash.
Hi Brian, thank you that’s very useful to know. I’ve been looking at some pictures and so far it seems that the oil pressure is almost always on the left side. 👍😉
Well done Oscar, great driving! It's great that you've got her going so soon after her first start. Looking forward to the paintwork and thank you Gordon for keeping going with these great and informative videos.
Thank you George. It’s having loyal viewers that keeps us going! 😉👍
Good stuff, great to see that chapter finished.
Yep, the oil gauge should be lhs.
I've done all the painting before assembly and can confirm that it's a laborious job, especially if you're doing each bit individually rather than just blowing paint over everything assembled. I used the wife's old plastic greenhouse as a makeshift spray booth set up in the garage - worked well and had lots of space for hanging bits and pieces from.
Ref your process for prep, and given you have already undercoated /primed, you might be better off wiping down with a solvent eg IPA rather than degreaser /wash as you might end up inadvertently leaving more residues that will get in the way of the paint.
Thanks Ewans, very useful information 👍😉
Super Nice to See Oliver and you driving with the fergie ..😊🚜 and it went so well . About last video I Think that you dont have to be Worry About getting temp/heat so engine block so termostat will open so you can See/check all .. my TEF20 take 1 hour off driving to get warm and 1,5hours off driving before block ..bellhousing ..coolent and everything to get about 87 degree .. so it takes time but you Will get there when juse and drive it ..😊😊🚜👍 there is a lot off mass to heat up .. Thanks for the updates and video .. 😊Michell norway ..
Thanks Michell, yes I agree, once we get it properly finished and let it do some work, it will certainly get the engine warmed up.
👍😉
Oscar has been a long time waiting for this day
He certainly had David 😊 but we got there in the end. Thanks for everyone’s support! 👍😉
