    Tractor for sale question

    Richard, thank you, saw that section and was considering both, only wasn't wanting to get lost in the "other colors" crowd. Enjoy all the Ferguson questions and didn't want to run afoul. Fx

    Tractor for sale question

    I don't want to break the forum rules, but can a "for sale" topic be placed on this forum, or should I list elsewhere? Fx

    Operation Meter (Tach/Hour) Retrofit

    Looked on the engine's right side, when setting in seat, and nothing looking like a distributor support boss casting. On the left side behind the fuel filter housings is a cast in boss on the engine block with a what appears to be a pressed in cap on its top vertical surface. This appears to...

    Operation Meter (Tach/Hour) Retrofit

    General question, has anyone retrofitted the Operation Meter to a Series I D17. I have a 1959 serial #25529 Diesel that does not have the Operation Meter. I have the shop and parts manual showing all of the parts, but not the where the engine side pieces attach. Mine is the one with the power...

    1959 D17 diesel, New Owner

    A few pics now that I have this new one home. Checked all fluids and up to snuff and appear to be clean and hydraulics without water contamination. Awaiting arrival of shop and parts manuals, lucky in the exchange that the original owner/PM booklet was given to me. Serial # D17 25529 D,stamped...

    1959 D17 diesel, New Owner

    Just purchased a 1959 AC D17 diesel that has been used for hay work mostly, and fortunately received the good care that operating equipment deserves. Have been using a Ferguson FE-35 for most of the work around the horse farm, but needed a larger platform for our hay fields. I will be diving...

    What our Fergies are good for, pics attached

    Mine turns over vigorously for about 20 seconds, then starts firing on about 2 and within 5 seconds runs on all 4. During this initial start up time the indicated oil pressure is up to about 30+ (summer), and 20+ in colder weather. Upon firing up the idle pressure rises to 50+ and under load I...

    What our Fergies are good for, pics attached

    I know from following the forum many like to play in the dirt with a variety of attached implements, but I'm sure that others like myself use these wonderful work horses for other activities. Owning a 1958 TO-35,(tach marked FE-35), with the 23 C diesel I have spent the last two years helping...

    JD 24 T blaer, Knotter assembly fracture question

    DraftX Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at the needles as they come thru the bottom bale case slots and they present evenly there. Also at the top of movement near the front of knotters they appear to be even fore and aft, left to right and height in alignment to knotters. When you...

    JD 24 T blaer, Knotter assembly fracture question

    R The cast drive gears that the knotters get timing from are clean on inside, will completely clean and check all knotter moving parts tomorrow. Nothing appeared to have excess or sloppy movement of parts, and dry cleaned accumulated dirt from all areas. Will solvent clean and reassemble...

    JD 24 T blaer, Knotter assembly fracture question

    Roger Took your info and reassembled with knotter from my parts unit. Tried to keep the knotters fairly tight by using combinations of the multiple washers riding, on the main shaft the knotters ride on and as close to the driven iron casting they receive geared timing from. In slowly turning...

    JD 24 T blaer, Knotter assembly fracture question

    Just finished timing the feed arm and knotter function on a 24 T that I'm bringing back to work . Dry run all went as expected, turning by hand counter clock-wise as manual indicates. No interference of needles, and they presented correctly to knotter. Knotter functioned thru all of its'...

    Glow Plug question, 58 TO-35, with 23 C

    All Thanks for the quick responses. I am not a believer in "Quick Start", to many of my previous drivers caused ring and piston damage on big Cat diesels using just a "little" to much ether. Found on page 48 of my TO-35 parts manual, issue #4, the picture showing the "series" wiring sequence...

    Glow Plug question, 58 TO-35, with 23 C

    Just rewired the 4 Delphi HDS 317 glow plugs, using 10 gauge multi-strand copper with multi layer cover insulation. Did both the hot and ground sides in a series manner, ground connection under ceramic insulator closest to glow plug core, collaring the brass center, and using metal top of glow...

    bigger wheels tea20

    Watch the back side of wheel "offset" on any front wheel replacement. I have one that is 4" and gives correct clearance to the upper spindle arm attachment point, and the other is 4.5" and will make contact with 6x16 tire sidewall. I am going to replace this wheel with the correct 4" offset...
