Hydraulics issue tea20

[Purryburry]

Would there be any reason why you would need to engage the tractor into gear to have the hydraulics work? The pto is in gear but the hydraulics only work when the tractor is in gear and moving. It"s a mates tractor and my tea20 does not have to be in gear for he hydraulics to work.

Is this what he told you or did you see this your self?

THE pto needs to be in gear but not the main gearbox.

No he told me himself. I thought it strange but he is adamant that putting the tractor onto gear is the only way to get the hydraulics to work.

Tell him he has to have his foot off the clutch.

I think there may be some confussion, on his part.

Assuming everything is stock. The PTO clutch is directly powered by the engine all the time.

The drive is only powered, when one of the shift forks (1,2,3,4, or R) slides to engage the appropriate drive gear.

My thinking is he does not realize that the Drive must be in full neutral to run the PTO with out moving.

He may also not fully understand that the PTO is not "Live" power and is cut off if the main engine clutch is engaged.

If the condition is truly as he is describing, then the only explination I can come up with is that there is something loose, or teeth have ground off in his transmission and some how as he engages the drive it shifts/giggles the gears just enough to power the PTO. If that is the case then he's gotta pull the steering column and take a look.


But first make sure he isn't complaining that when he presses in the clutch to stop the tractor the PTO also stops... This is normal.

If he takes it out of gear and then releases the clutch the PTO show start to turn again.

I'd have to bet that is the issue.

I think that he is dreaming, if it is a TE20 or TO20 it will operate exactly the same as your TEA. The only Ferguson that ever operated like that was a Ferguson-Brown from 1936-39 and I doubt it being one of those as they are a collectors item now.If the main shaft in the transmission was sheared, I suppose it could be that the drive may have to be engaged and then it could drive the counter-shaft, but I am clutching at straws to try and make some sense of his description..John
