Common tools for Ferguson

[adavis]

Trying to put together a set of commom sized tools for my tractor. I have many metric wrenchs and few standard. Did they come with any standard tools when sold and what are the best sizes to aquire. Thanks

Mainly the one wrench that is very common is the 1-1/16 on one end and 11/16 on the other.

Sorry I should have added they were standard sizes, no metrics back then as far as Harry was concerned.

Harry insisted on a very basic tool set.

1-1/16" covers wheels, axels, underside, and any other "big-bolts" oil fill, Pump drain plug.

15/16" for the front axel horizontal bolts.

11/16" covers just about everything else (Oil sump bolts, Flanges, trany, axels, steering, PTO pump. PTO shaft, seat etc)

1/2" and 9/16" for motor (manifold, valve cover etc)

And I believe 7/16" for the back of the dash.

That would just about do it all.

A good socket set and wrenches is all you'll need.

Jeff, once again thanks for you knowledge. This is exactly what I was looking for. Andy

Jeff the front axle bolts were also 1 1/16 not 15/16

A old timer told me the only thing these old tractors knew about Metrics was the bomb they dropped on Heroshiema.
get a set of stubby SAE wrenches I found they work best in the tight spots.

I thought so,.... what threw me was the last tractor I worked on that was not the case. Probally some replacement bolts as it had a bumper on it.

You all forgot to mention the most important tool when working on old tractors; a hammer.
