    i have a 12" 2 bottom plow that i pull with a good running NAA. the 12" works good on ground that has been plowed on a regular basis, but not so well on ground that has not. i have a chance to purchase a 2 bottom ford 14" for $100. it is in great shape, little signs of wear. can the NAA handle...

    Ferguson wiring

    I have a question about the manuals. Listed on [u:d678a8b8a4] this page[/u:d678a8b8a4] are two separate items: Ferguson TE20, TO20, TO30 Service Manual 197 Pages (Part No: MH-S-MFTE20) Ferguson TO20 Service Manual 197 Pages (Part No: MH-S-MFTE20) The part numbers and prices are the...

    Found a Jewel???

    hat are the visual differences between a 20 and 30? Does the 30 have larger tires? Is it appreciably heavier?

    Fergie Saves Christmas

    I was wondering about that, didn't see any in the pix. Mine won't do much without chains, especially when the ground gets frozen.

    T0-20

    One more thing: I replaced the factory shifter/solenoid in the late '70s with an off the shelf Ford solenoid, mounted under the battery. And I replaced that with a new one in '03. Will this work ok with 12 volts?

    T0-20

    hanks! I'm a self-employed toolmaker so making things out of steel are not a problem. It's the electrical stuff that I have very little knowledge of.

    T0-20

    Forgot a couple things: So the kit at the top of this page will work fine on the TO-20 except for brackets? Just wanted to confirm, because it says TO-30 ONLY. They maybe should make a note about this on the ad. Also, the 6v. starter will hold up fine with 12 volts?

    T0-20

    Hey George, thanks for the info, this is something I've been wondering also.

    TO30 oil pressure

    Interesting points. Here's another one to ponder. I read somewhere on a Harley forum that the pressure itself doesn't mean much. If a specific engine design has larger passages but relatively low pressure, you are still getting enough [i:a724cee3c8]volume[/i:a724cee3c8] of oil for proper...

    no. 1 plug wire

    n my TO-20, the number one plug wire is at the 7:00 position on the distributor. (This may vary a bit depending on where the timing is set, but shouldn't be off much.)

    TO-30 Compression

    Adding oil seals the rings somewhat, so if they're bad the number will go up. If the number doesn't go up after adding oil, then it's likely the valves, as Jerry suggested. Aside from a burned valve, also check for a sticky valve. I ignored mine too long and it ended up going through the...

    TO 30 rod and main bearings

    bought my TO-20 in '77 and use it regularly, but I just recently found this site, and realize how much info is out there about my tractor that I didn't know. Like the manual you speak of: where would I get one of these? :D

    Widening the wheelbase

    I kept re-reading all the posts looking for what I was missing. Thanks for letting me know I'm (maybe) still sane!

    Widening the wheelbase

    Am I missing something here or what? If you take the wheels off, turn them 180 degrees and mount on the opposite side of the tractor you will end up with the same width, but the treads will be backwards. But if you just switch the wheels from one side to the other without rotating them...

    off subject?about heaters for garage, advice,

    have used both and prefer propane. I have a ventless wall heater and it works great, no noticeable fumes. But I made sure my shop is not real air tight. >> when oil prices go up so does propane i don't get it. That's because propane is made from crude oil.
