    hydraulics stuck in the up position

    I have a TO-30 with a similar problem. I could be wrong but the fact that the arms do not settle down over a period of time indicates that they may really be "stuck". On my 30 I believe the inside of the lift cylinder may be rusty from years (decades) of the arms being locked down and used as...

    Carb Question

    It looks like the one that Tisco sent me to replace the one in the kit for a TSX458 (on a TO-30). The TSX458 needs the threads at the top (near the nut), the kit contained a nozzle with threads at the bottom. I ended up using the old one as several people on this site advised. I know I have...

    TO-30 Lift Arms Stuck Up (Could this be cylinder problem?)

    I already tried. First with my 175 lbs., then my brothers 225 lbs. Then both together... ...nothing. Sounded like a good idea to me too though.

    TO-30 Lift Arms Stuck Up (Could this be cylinder problem?)

    I would say that is about what I had. I guess I just expected more because of the range of the control lever.

    TO-30 Lift Arms Stuck Up (Could this be cylinder problem?)

    The control valve moved when I had the oil drained. I am not sure how much travel it should have, I guess I expected more movement, but when I tried adjusting the control lever it didn't appear that it really needed to move all that far.

    TO-30 Lift Arms Stuck Up (Could this be cylinder problem?)

    The lift arms on my TO-30 are stuck in the up position. I have drained the oil and washed out the rearend as per Jeff's instructions. I checked everything internally as mentioned in Dean Austin's pdf on the FENA site (control valve, linkage and spring). The rearend has since been refilled and...

    Wiring

    Advice that was given to me by John (UK): The wiring gauge should be 14g for charging and lights and 10g is OK for any other wiring. The battery leads should be of very heavy gauge (gauge 0) if you are using a 6volt supply. Someone else may be able to help here though, in the UK wire gauges...

    What year is it?

    I wonder if the serial # might be TO-20880 (not 10-20880), if so I think you have a 1950 TO-20 Ferguson.

    Ambra Hydraulic Oil for a TO-30?

    I know there has been considerable discussion on the recomended oil and some substitutions that can be used. The local NH dealer says they use Ambra Multi-G 134 in the Ford 9, 2 & 8N's. They would also put it in TO-20 & 30's if they were servicing them. I have searched the archives and can't...

    marvel-shebler carb elbow te20

    On a TO-30 with a Marvel carb those are 1/8"-27 NPT. I wonder if yours could be the same. I had a similar problem because the threads were full of rust/crud. This size tap cleaned them right up.

    TO-30 Starting Issues

    Starting fluid does not seem to help (I have tried it sparingly). A little more info: I did not have good compression on two cylinders when I started this project and have had the valves and head ground (compression is good now). The carb has been rebuilt because the venturi was...

    TO-30 Starting Issues

    I am working on a TO-30 which has had a Wagner loader on it for decades. The loader makes proper maintenance difficult, and since we did not put a lot of hours on it we have settle for starting this tractor for many years by pulling it. (Pull start, clean out the barn, put it away for 6...
