Lord Ferguson Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 She's a beauty Massey Man... thanks for sharing.. I love the 'weight' on the plough. As above... looks like heavy going... it's a good job you've got the 'Ferguson system of mechanised farming' there... otherwise you'd be struggling I suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyman Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Very tidy tractor, MM. Did you plough up that hill too? no , although i only have only recently took up ploughing so its still a bit rough ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyman Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 thanks every one for the coments, soil wasn't that heavy just let her tick over with very little revs and she bored on with no problem ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 id say you need to go a little harder on your ploughing get the furrs turned right over nice we tractor lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 A "little grey menace" Masseyman but very tidy with full lighting system and also the original narrow front wheels. Now don't take this the wrong way and I could be talking rubbish but that exhaust does not look right for the Fergie. Firstly it is black and the box looks too short and the pipe above it too long. All fergies I have seen tend to have silver exhausts. What year is she and did you do the restoration of her ??? Oh good thinking about the plough weight you won't find anything cheaper than that ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 On the ploughing it does not look all that bad if you have only taken up ploughing. How clean were your boards ??? ... you need them to shine like a mirror for the plough to work well ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh good thinking about the plough weight you won't find anything cheaper than that ;) cheers yes i had to replace the exust last month therefore havn't had the chance to repaint it yet, the one that used to be on it was a bit shorter and i had her done like a silvery colour but she rusted at the bracket apparently the one i had on her before are hard to come by now she is 1953 she was painted when i got her but i rebuilt the engine on her at the end of last year and added the lighting ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the OLD 20 parts company in Derby I'm sure they will have them. A 1953 model just before the TEF 20 diesels came out. I used to have a 1956 TEF 20 with a Mill loader and was just used as a working beast, I sold her for £ 800 back around 1995 or 1996 to help fund my purchase and restoration of my 1951 Farmall Cub. Do you mix your own TVO for her and what mixture do you use 4 galls paraffin and 1 gallon petrol ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 TEF was 1951 to 1956 Bill .. I've got a list somewhere.. I'll pop it up when I can find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 yes I'm still abit of a novice ;D the boards where shining they get a good dose of grease on them every time I'm finished Yes I'm told that the secret keep they covered with grease and wash off with petrol before you start ploughing again. It's nearly two years since I had a play with my 1956 French Farmall Cub and Ransomes TS42A single furrow trailing plough. I smeared the board in grease and covered with a black bin liner to save the mess and it was laid up inside a shed. I must get it looked out before long and get my spring hitch working since our local vintage working event is looming...middle of May at the BA Country Store Lyne of Skene in Aberdeenshire.
