Hi Lance, great series of videos. Your relaxed attitude and tips make tackling these tractor maintenance and rebuilds much less scary for a novice like me!

Love you're videos, helped me alot when working on my 1954 TE-F20 bought one at first, but the engine was stuck :( I wanted to surprise my little daughter with the Grey Fergie, but that was a huge let down.. So, we went and bought another one, but that one had front axle problems... center bolt bushing and bolt was pushed in to the crank, so we can't even enjoy it, can't push the snow either.. And taking apart these tractors after sitting for a few decades 🙈 Holy frig

Gongrats Lance with 30K abbonees, you gave me the courage to start and finish successful my restoration of my ted, it is running fine now. Greetings from the Netherlands

great video. I love looking at your instructions.. I am getting ready to tackle my TE20. Will be over for parts soon

This is great information as i need to do this on a 48 TO20! Thank you much!

Excellent video Lance - you make it all very clear!

When I split my TO35 this last spring I used one of those $12 Harbor Freight rectangular dollies and stacked wood blocks to support the front of the tractor at the correct splitting height. That worked easy and much less expensive than the Sparex rolling jack sled system (which is quite nice). The plastic clutch pack alignment tool is worth the price! I bought the wrong one (single clutch instead of dual clutch on my tractor) and then 3D printed a CAD model rather than wait another week for a shipment and that worked well getting the tractor back together. One trick I didn't try but saw was getting two 18in long rods threaded to match the clutch housing bell mount, install one on each side to slide the engine along to ensure alignment while the splines engaged.

great video love all your help

Thanks for the vlog. When I split my tractor I had to use a block and tackle to pull it apart as it was stuck hard.

Great and informative video Lance . Thank you

As always, clear, no nonsense documentary, “Whorts and all”. Complete with advice where the pitfalls are and how to correct them. What would be a testing procedure, now seems doable, (says I with confidence).

Awesome Lad, keep up the good work. Cheers Chris

Great help

I just recently bought a TE-20 sn 48566 my engine looks different? Mine has Z120A 300 in the casting on the block and there’s some rods on the bottom that I’m assuming is for added support. I guess I’m trying to under stand why mine is different than yours. Thanks from Jason in the 38:41 US in Pennsylvania. I really appreciate your videos and I also own a MF 35 and a MF 50 both are diesel.

will u b showing timen marks on a diesel 20 some time looking forward from ireland

Good job. Looks easy with this splitting jacks but I don't have them. In my tea20 clutch is covered by oil from a seal. Also I have a wine sound from the gearbox or rear diff while I ride it. It wines more when I engage lift. Lift won't work. It goes straight up and won't react on lever. Just stays up. Someone was there because I see handmade gasket under the seat.

When you get to doing a video on replacing the input shaft seal, I'd be grateful for any hints on the thickness of the gasket between the gearbox and the input shaft sleeve. My old gasket broke in a million pieces, and when I discovered that it wasn't included in the gasket set I'd purchased (nor in any other gasket set I can find) I'd tossed the bin bag with the pieces. So I don't know the thickness to make a new one, and since it holds one half of a bearing I suspect that it matters or the preload on the bearing will be off... Greetings from northern Sweden.

Awesome video. I miss my litlle grey Fergies.

Nice

Hello Lance.I would like to see when you fix radius rod.Can you do a video of that?

Mate, I was stoked to find this vid on YT I just picked up a TEA20 yesterday and the clutch peddle comes out a mile before engaging so I figure it needs a new pressure plate is there an adjustment I can do to reduce the peddle travel before having to split the tractor? Cheers from over the ditch

Never remove the videos 🤞 I will need them for later use 😄 But I'm learning alot taking apart the parts tractor though...

Great videos. I have a question , is that Sparex starter a 9 tooth or a 10 tooth cog ? , my original TED20 has 10 tooth i have read you can fit after market 9 tooth to original ring gear , is that correct ? Thanks for all the vids they are a great help.

I have a TE20 with a hole in the bottom of the transmission housing (presumably alumininum alloy). I can get a TO20 bell housing (presumably cast iron?) for a reasonable price. Was watching this to see how much work it'd be. Do you happen to know if the two housings are compatible?

Hi Lance, Another great video. I have watched the whole series. I have a TED20 which was last apart in 1974 (when I was 16...). On my machine the radiator support rod from the radiator to the thermostat has always been missing. Could you send me some dimensions of it so I can make one (I already asked QTS about a spare part and Judy said not available)

Dumb question: are the front and back end of the tractor attached or secured in some way to the trolley jack or they only supported by these jacks? Great series Lance, even then smallest job filmed is priceless! Thanks!

Love the vids mate. My ted sometimes just carries on driving when I push the clutch in but not always, is the clutch gone or going?

Nice rail system where to buy

I wasn't aware you could split it with the starter still on, I took mine off before I split it, was that ok to do?

to20 and to30 rear end and trans the same? thanks
