    Question about warning light TEA20

    I could be mistaken but I believe the coil around the bulb acts as a resistor.

    8N???

    I took my 54 TE-A20 up the road to an old friends place to do some back blading on her driveway. It was terribly rutted up. There were some younger fella's there helping out and had one of them insist my tractor was a 9N Ford even after I showed him the tag and explained the difference. Can't...

    T0 20 Ferguson

    You"ll have to pull the starter off to check for sure, but if it"s been sitting a long time the drive could be rusted stuck. Hopefully whatever you find it"ll be an easy fix.

    Anybody ordered parts from England?

    I have ordered quite a few parts from England for my TE-A20 with the 85mm engine. I had no hassles at all other than paying duty and shipping.

    I tried Viagra once. swallowed it dry and got it stuck in my throat. Had a stiff neck the rest of the day. ;)

    OT Ford Powerjoke 6.0

    I agree with the poor design of the EGR cooler. What happens is they corrode and plug up internally, much like a plugged heater core. The lack of coolant flow allows the exhaust gases to superheat the tube and it will rupture, dumping coolant into the engine oil. The trick to getting them to...

    Horsepower again

    If you burned up pistons then I'd say either the carb mixture was too lean or your timing was too far advanced. In 1984 I took a 350 out of my granddads 73 C50 Chev and put in a 454 out of a 74 Caprice. That engine lasted over 15 years and he sold the truck to a neighbor. Last I talked to...

    Patch jobs to get home on.

    In 1997 I was driving home from Alberta through Duluth Minnesota and pulled out to pass a couple slower vehicles when all of a sudden The throttle pedal dropped to the floor and engine went to idle speed. I pulled over and found the throttle ball end had come off at the pedal. I clamped a...

    Cooling System Pressure Tester $$ ?

    The Stant is what I have in my toolbox as a licensed mechanic. It comes with a generic twist-on adapter but there are many different style adapters available to use depending on what you need it to fit. Shy away from the universal adapter that looks like a cone made from rubber,it's a PITA to...

    Is there and unbiased opinions out there?

    Of the three you've looked at or are considering, the 8N would be the best all round choice. More power, good working 3 pt hitch set-up with draft and position control on the later ones, easy to work on and lots of parts easily available. They can also be found quite inexpensively just...

    Valve spring compressor, and valve guide tools

    As a licensed mechanic with over thirty years experience, I agree with the other guys here. Take the cylinder head to a good qualified engine machine shop/rebuilder. Valve guides must be true and square and seats will have to be replaced or machined to match the new center of the valve...

    Ferguson Plow Shares

    You got to pay for what you can find. Shares are getting very hard to find so you have to decide what you're willing to pay. I've been looking for a moldboard for a 10AO28 for a couple years now and no luck so far.

    Time for a front tire?

    Murphy's law always applies for me in a situation like this. As you are obviously well aware, a tire worn that thin is an accident waiting to happen. If it blows out when you are pulling a trailer down a hill then heaven help you hold onto the steering wheel. For the little bit of money a new or...

    OT - Heavy duty breaker bar

    I've been a licensed mechanic for more than thirty years now. I've had Craftsman, Snap-On, MAC, Husky and Gray among others and I've broken them all. Then again I'm about 6'3" and around 270lbs.Though not as able as I used to be I can still bust a 1/2" breaker bar quite easily. I agree on using...
