    Hello Alec I have rebuilt a 23c and it works great. Don't let Tony's story get you put off. It's great entertainment to watch, but it does not have to happen to you. This was my first diesel rebuild ! Took lots of time. Lots of patience but it worked out well in the end. Mine is a 1959. It has...

    FE-35 23C Engine - starts for 30sec then dies

    FE-35 23C Engine - starts for 30sec then dies

    Hello Dieseltech I checked the return line from the secondary filter, the one with air in it, to the tank and it's clear. I bled the the sytem and started the tractor. I usually have just cracked the injectors to bleed but this time I thought I'd try the bleed nuts on the injection pump. The...

    FE-35 23C Engine - starts for 30sec then dies

    Thanks Dieseltech. I thought there should be no air in that filter. I'll check it tomorrow when the temp gets up to -1° C. Not into tractor maintenance at -13° C. ciao Alan

    ferguson 35 gold belly?

    Here are the pictures that didn't show in the last post. Taken on Easter Day. Lots of of snow here and the bunnies were hopping ! Note the tire chains. These are what we use north of the border. We call them ring chains. Not quite the same as the south of the border ring cahins. Thanks Alan

    ferguson 35 gold belly?

    As always I'm lurkin. Seldom to write unless I'm broke down. I greatly enjoy Tony's smokey 23C. I, however rebuilt a 23C with different results than Tony.

    FE-35 Wiring

    This rewiring and alternator is driving me nuts. SOOO I believe I need a constant voltage on the "exciter" wire to make the alternator work. Is this correct ? The alternator is a delco with 3 wires. As I have a standard diesel there is no oil pressure switch to hook the exciter wire to...

    FE-35 Alternator connection

    Thanks Tony. I have a standard diesel, so I have watched with great interest at your posts. Most interesting. I rebuilt mine and it runs great. I realize that the gas and diesel will operate differently. My interest is how to set up the electrical / ignition switch to work with a 3 wire...
