Hello, I have two questions about my 1951 Ferguson TO-20:
First, I discovered that the top of my governor rod is no longer connected to the forward end of the torque rod. I've yet to find a schematic that shows the conjunction in any detail, and I have yet to find a replacement for whatever may be missing... partly because I'm not sure what that part(s) may be called. Does anyone know where I can find a better exploded diagram (than what is in the "Key to Long Life and Economy" guide) and/or have an idea where I may be able to purchase the linkage between these two rods?
Second, I'm beginning to question the way the starter sounds when starting the engine. It starts, but sometimes before it gets running, I can hear the engine turning over, and then the starter goes "whrrrrrrrr" until I back off the gearshift lever. After a few attempts the engine finally catches & runs. I'm the second owner, for over two decades, and I remember it always behaving this way, but is that normal (even when the tractors were 'newer') or is it an indication of a problem with the starter, or something related?
Thank you, Don
