    Ferguson TO20 temperature gauge

    Both of the reproductions I've bought have been mechanical. Meaning they don't need electrical power to work.

    Ferguson TO20 temperature gauge

    If it's a mechanical gauge (as original), then that's not a wire to the probe. It's actually a very small tube (commonly known as capillary tube), and is rather fragile. You'll want to avoid sharp bends, and secure it against vibration. Just to give you an idea how fragile it is, my...

    Ferguson wants to wheelie

    Often that's a sign that oil (either engine or transmission) has gotten on the clutch facings. New friction plate is usually the solution (but change the seals while you're in there).

    2N hydraulic issues

    I built my own for a Ferguson from these instructions: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HVIHMdKAt78SyFUJh_2TPtCimbTqA9-O I don't know for sure it would fit a 2N, but I think so. Pretty easy to build, I got a chunk of 2x3 tubing from Amazon and cut all the flat pieces out of it with an...

    What is the difference in to20 to30 and tea series

    I don't know all the details offhand. But the 'O' stood for 'Overseas', meaning they weren't built in England. TO20 and TO30 used very similar engines from Continental; while the TEA20 used an engine by Standard (and was built by Standard in Coventry England). The Standard engine has the oil...

    TEA 20 not charging?

    Can't hurt to try repolarizing, but I've never seen one that was so thoroughly demagnetized that it wouldn't do at least something. Start with the "Quick test". As noted, if that fails, try repolarizing. Also check that the voltage observed matches your battery polarity (ie D goes negative...

    Generator Rebuild

    My Lucas catalog says the bearing should have a 17mm bore, 40mm diameter, 12mm width, "fully enclosed" (metal shield on both sides). I believe it should be a light press fit onto the shaft, you can probably tap it off with a hammer but use a piece of pipe or something against the inner race...

    resistor output voltage

    With the engine running, the voltage from the resistor bounces around all over the place with every cylinder firing. What you read in that case will depend greatly on the particular meter you use.

    resistor output voltage

    The resistor only reduces voltage when there is a load on it. If you check it with the coil connected and the points closed, you should find somewhere around 6-8 volts.

    TEA 20 not charging?

    Make sure it's a Lucas generator or equivalent. Lucas should be original for TE series, but I think TO series used Delco and they work differently. It's possible someone has switched parts around. If it is Lucas, there's a good article here...

    Te20 air cleaner to carburetor pipe. What are my options??

    No reason it can't be rubber, as long as it doesn't kink or collapse. Metal is more durable, though. I've not tried a TE20, but in somewhat similar cases I've had good luck piecing together bits of copper water pipe. This site will sell you a TE20 operator's manual, which is probably a...

    TEA 20 three point does not hold a constant height

    Yup. For larger movements, you just hold the lever off-center (either up or down) and let go when it gets close to where you want. As mentioned, the friction disc slips against the force from your hand until you let go, then it moves the lever back to center. How fast it moves depends on how...

    TEA 20 three point does not hold a constant height

    I built my own, using the directions at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HVIHMdKAt78SyFUJh_2TPtCimbTqA9-O A little confusing at first, but turned out easier than I thought, and seems to work well. Bought a chunk of 2x3 box steel on Amazon, then cut the other flat pieces out of it. The...

    resister used in wiring alternator

    AFAIK, GM always used a resistor. No doubt the location varied by application, my 80 Chevy had it on the back of the PC board that held the instruments. Resistor was in parallel with the warning lamp, so the alternator would still charge if the lamp burned out.

    Brackets Question on TO30

    What kind of computer do you use? If it runs Windoze, I suggest Irfanview for photo manipulation. https://www.irfanview.com/
