    TO-20 important gas tank question

    Thank you Duner, I will explore more carefully tomorrow. I forget to think of baffle plates spot welded to the tank interior. This now makes me think one of those plates is loose in the tank. I will confirm....for sure if a plate has come loose it probably won't come out of the tank throat even...

    TO-20 important gas tank question

    I took off the tank and sediment bowl on my TO-20 1950 Ferguson. The sediment bowl stand pipe had much "junk" in it and corrosion around the bottom of the screen that surrounds the stand pipe. When I was emptying out the tank of the last little bit of gas, I heard and felt something metal...

    T-20 won't run at hot

    I am going to close this thread out. I have taken the tank off and discovered some debris in the stand pipe, and some corrosion around bottom of screen around the stand pipe. I cleaned the sediment bowl passages. The rest of tractor is fine I believe, but I do have question about the tank...

    T-20 won't run at hot

    I finally did the two tests that should have been first. The carb bowl drain when removed after tractor is hot, gas pours out...no problem with fuel delivery. I checked spark at cold startup and spark was great. When tractor is hot, the spark is very weak. This happens with two different...

    T-20 won't run at hot

    Thank you BD , that it runs when hot with the choke closed suggests there is not enough fuel getting thru...air is fine( and it doesn't affect this problem whether the air intake is open or hooked to the air filter), so it's the fuel delivery or the carb. When I had the tank off, I rinsed it...

    T-20 won't run at hot

    The tractor runs great in the barn on a level surface. I ran it for over 30 minutes like that, moving throttle from idle to mid rpms and throttle response was excellent, no hesitation. I took it out to go around the barn and that is a slight slope (maybe 8ft vertical for 40 ft length) Then it...

    T-20 won't run at hot

    I forgot proper name for my model: TO-20. I tried wrapping insulating tape with a radiant reflective outside around the fuel line. Also put a piece on the the carb face next to the engine (although it didn't stay on very long). Engine has the same problem. Gets up to temp ok, then when hot it...

    T-20 won't run at hot

    The coil is a hi-performance type and it does have an internal ballast resistor. I checked the plug wires for corrosion or cracks and they look fine. The plugs themselves are good quality and gapped correctly. The compression is a bit low at 95 psi (should be 102 to 120 according to the manual)...

    T-20 won't run at hot

    Thank you. That is something I have not made any attempts to check. I forgot to mention that existing coil was mounted horizontally and was an oil filled type and should have been mounting vertically. I replaced that with a new solid filled type. (the electrical system is all 12V) I will now try...

    T-20 won't run at hot

    I have a 1950 Harry Ferguson. Starts fine. When it gets full up to temp, it starts lugging and wants to stall. If I hold open the choke it stays alive and will barely stay alive lugging back and forth and lurching/stalling. It has new plugs, I converted the points to electronic, I redid all the...

    How to find: the Governor Rod is tipped with threads to adjust the length and a Socket cup top to attach to the Ball part and. The Governor Adjusting Screw that fits in the Timing Case I can't seem to find these pieces :( on my tractor at the moment the Ball piece is brazed (?)...

    Ferguson TO20 governor Rod (any out there?)

    Working on complete Governor rebuild for Ferguson TO20. The governor Rod with spring that connects the throttle and governor arm, ball and socket top piece that is normally just pressed on has been brazed on so it won't come off. I needed to get that off so I can remove the timing case cover. I...

    throttle issue Ferguson T20

    Thank you for the step by step guide ! There's no visible sediment in the glass bowl on the tanks fuel valve. I don't think I have a gas issue. I think it's the governor. I just looked a few videos and looked for a tiny adjustment for the governor on the timing case. The adjustment screw has one...

    throttle issue Ferguson T20

    I thought I did, to check this do I just open up the fitting from the fuel bowl to the carb and see that gas flows freely and/or dissasemble the sediment bowl and clean that out ? thank you

    throttle issue Ferguson T20

    I have a Ferguson T20. The throttle oscillates (from min to full setting when hot) then lugs like that until it dies. It runs fine at idle. I changed the carburator both a new one and the original do the same thing :( Any suggestions? thanks, ron
