CCF Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Nice pictures and instructions Martin! I feel like I could hop on a Fergie and start is without swearing at it for 1/2hr because I am clueless ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 When I were a lad ..... Starting the Fergie involved; - Boiling up a big bucket of water. Carry up hill to where tractor is always parked. Pour water into radiator. Leave for three mins to warm up the block. - Remove logs from under rear wheels. - Close choke, set throttle at 3/4, select 6th gear. - Make sure nothing was likely to come up the lane. - Spray Ether into air manifold, release brakes. - At about 10mph, take foot off clutch. - Pray! - Jump on clutch and brake pedals as soon as engine fired ( or before crashing into something) The Fords, on the other hand, had a completely different process. - Put key in ignition - Put both gear levers in Neutral - Turn key to "warm" position, hold, then turn to "start" position. - and away she goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
