And the video you have all been waiting for.. The first drive. All went well with no faulted or nasty surprises. 61. After that drive I fitted new plug wires which saw her going abit better. Then I took the back tires off the rims waiting for new tires and she has sat ever since. She will be ready for the 2014 show season but.

Well to start off with I would like to apologise for how long it took me to continue this thread. Progress has been made but we are not there yet. 54. Fitting the manifolds. New gaskets manifold gaskets put on. Wire brushed and sprayed heat resistant black. Fuel pipe polished and silencer prepped and painted. 55. Dynamo and fan bolted back on. As it turns out the dynamo is not working. I should have guessed... aside from that she is coming on well. Putting the fan on was some fun. Threads gummed up,needs to be cleaned. Rinse and repeat for the next hole,etc. Typical ten minute job takes about 3 hours not helped by the fact I was in a freezing turf shed. 56. The tidied up radiator bolted back on aswell as pipework,etc. 57. Track rod ends greased up with as well as new track rod end rubbers fitted. Steering arms fitted and steering working. Front wheels even put back on. The front end's even dropped back down onto the floor. The coil has been put back on so she is getting near the first start. 58. Radiator fully piped up. Brand new water temp guage fitted on no bother. Fuel tank bolted back on. Distributor,cap and leads fitted back on. Shes nearly there now! Been waiting on this moment for 9 or 10 months at this stage! 59. For the first time in 9 months all 4 wheels are on the ground. This is her just put back in the shed after the first run and drive. 60. After the first run and drive. Shows the hydraulics still up. Hydraulics working grand first try (They were nearly rusted solid before the strip down).

46. And before I even had the chance to pick up the camera I had the front axle,water pump,seat and the L/H side of the engine bolted back together. 47. A photo of all the new shiny (expensive) parts before they get bolted back on.. 48. Stay pins bolted back on along with lynch pins+chains. 49. Brakes reassembled,Brake shafts and pedal back on aswell as the clutch pedal. 2 Footrests reassembled and bolted back on. 50. The rarely seen far side of the tractor. The wishbones are back on now aswell. 51. The 2 bonnet catch handles bolted back on after a polish. Even they were covered in 3 bad coats of paint. 52. The dash fully bolted back on and the wiring has been started. 53. The rear end showing new check chains,brackets,lynch pin chains on the lift arms. The new ends on the lift arms. The list goes on.. This is as far as I have got with the tractor as of now. More few more small bits to put back on and she will be ready for the first start! (If all goes to plan)

Well, We had one day of hot weather on Monday 19th so I took advantage of it and the tractor is now painted. 3 coats of paint on everything,Nice and shiny. 43. The main body of the tractor after 3 coats of paint. 44. Front axle showing a decent enough shine. 45. And the seat showing an even better shine! I'll let that harden now for 5 days to a week and then I'll start putting her back together! Its been a long time coming.

So a visit to the Stradbally Steam Rally, Co. Laois resulted in my buying 2 weld on ends for €22 and a voltage regulator for €30. The price of all these bits soon adds up. The tractor still has not been given topcoat because of the shi*e weather we have been having. In the mean time I have been working on alot of the other small parts which need work,Of which there are many. 32. The knackered ends on the lift arms that came on the tractor. One of them was so worn a ball had fallen off a long time before I got my hands on the tractor. Time to replace all 4 I think... 33. Modifying some ''universal'' weld on ends to fit the tractor. A bit lot of cutting and grinding and they are ready to fit. Universal, ehh? 34. Done. With the same welder I welded the fan shroud with too. 35. The ammount of sh*ote thats been cut off so far. (More comprehensive photo to come once restoration has been completed. 36. Now here is a bit of a problem. These are the 2 TVO heat sheild studs. Now just to clarify the TVO heat shield is the alloy part between the exhaust and the engine. As you can see the 2 studs are in tough shape. One I sheared off and the other has had a interesting repair done to it in the past. Someone has cut a slot in it with a angle grinder and pressed a nut into the slot. It worked but it looked completely wrong. 37. So I got 4 17MM (Metric) nuts and welded them together. 38. Then cut the old ends/nuts off the studs, Welded the new nuts on, Found 2 new bolts and washers and I'm done! Works perfect. 39. Now when I got the tractor is was missing the air filter gauze. The air filet inlet is located in of all places, The right hand side of the dash board. You can buy a brand new gauze for a pricey 15 euro. I borrowed a junt of mesh from the metalwork rooms in school for another project and then it got left lying about. I figured it would do this job perfect. Take the old gauze cover, Mark around it with a black marker onto the mesh and then get the angle grinder. 40. And it will leave you with something like this. It nearly looks factory. Even better is that the mesh is zinc plated versus the 15 euro reproduction which is not. 41. The fitting instructions. 42. Drilling holes in the lift arms for the lynch pin brackets. Zinc plated aswell. Thats all for now. Still plenty of bits to do and parts to buy. Just waiting for that blast of hot weather..

26. Old stabilizer pins cut off,Nut was rusted on solid. New one sitting waiting to go on. 27. Tractor after being given a scuff down ready for a coat of primer. 28. Parts hung up waiting for paint. Takes a brave while to hang them all up (Suprisingly). 29. Recent ebay purchase Devilbiss FLG5 spray gun waiting to drink down this tin of paint. 30. PAINTED! After a good 4 or 5 hour non stop marathon. Wrong nozzle on the gun for primer, Really restricts paint flow. 31. All the small parts painted. Plan is to let it harden for a week, Give the primer a light sand with 400 where needed, Spray topcoat then reassemble. Still need to paint the bonnet,2 back mudguards,toolbox,back wheels and front wheels but I think I'll leave them awhile as they are all easy to take off bits.

19. So the tractor has been looking like this for the past 6? months so I decided it was time to get a move on and paint it while the hot summer weather was here (for once). 20. So I went out and bought this. Of course its not much use to me right now as there are plenty of parts to get ready first. 21. Remember the radiator cowl? Well once I had the rust cut out of it this is all I was left with,Not much. Luckily I had read some of TonyBMW's posts the night before so armed with a hammer I got to work. 22. Now the welder I was using was not the best one for the job (A SIP industrial 200 amp ARC welder) so it was hard to weld rusty tin without blowing through. But after a couple of hours work I had this. 23. Finished the welding and a with a skim of filler It was ready for paint. 24. Part of the throttle linkage. There was a ball and socket type joint in this that was slightly loose. I started tapping the socket with a hammer lightly to make it a snugger fit which resulted it the socket breaking into pieces. What do I do now? Well about 5 years ago there was a distributor kit bought for our Model T pickup seeing as the old distributor was curse word. The distrubor kit is designed for a LHD car but the pickup was RHD so there was parts left over, Namely a bar with 2 ball and socket joints on it. A spin on the quad to go get it,Abit of angry-grindying and some welding left with with this. Nearly better than new. 25. Giving parts a go over with red oxide before the 2 PAC primer. Front axle has been gone over with the wire brush to get rid of the rust and old paint. New bolts holding the axle together and new bolts for the wishbones. Hoping to get give it a coat of primer in the next 2 or 3 days and then top coat in about a weeks time.

18. £95 pounds buys you...Not much when it comes to tractors. Got this lot up at the Shanes Castle May day steam rally. Ammo box = £10 Steering wheel = £25 Hinge pin = £10 Bonnet rubber (w/ rivets)= £10 Tie rod rubbers = £4 ID plate (w/ rivets)= £8 Top link pin,clip and chains = £7.50 'D' shackles = £4 Warning sticker = £3 Manifold Gaskets = £7 Steering wheel nut = £4 Spanners (Lister,Brittool) = £2 Not many bits to buy now aside from paint. Hopefully she will be going again before this winter.

14. Back wheels sent away to be sandblasted. Normally costs €30 a piece but I got them done for €20 a piece. Photographed when I was priming them. 15. Second footrest with rivets ground out. Had some heavy rust but thankfully has not rusted through. I don't think I'll go at it with the welder. 16. Taking the cowl off the radiator. 7 flat head screws in total. Amazingly all 7 came out without much fuss. 17. The cowl itself. Would need a ton of welding and patching. If I can't find another one I might try and repair it. Can't bear the thought of paying for a new one though.. A brand new thermostat housing bought on ebay for £11 in total. Normally they cost around £35-£40. Not so bad I think.

1000 views,Thanks everyone!
Progress has been slow over the past 3 weeks but hopefully I will get something done this week. Pile of parts recently sanded and waiting to be primed once the weather picks up a little bit.
Recent ebay purchases include... Brand new wiring loom. Lift arm rivited on linch pin set. Ignition switch. A Lucas LD109 sidelight (planning long term to put a cyclops lighting kit on this tractor,the cyclops lighting kit is the 1 light in the center of the bonnet and 2 fold out side lights on the side of the bonnet). And a original Ferguson operators manual for the Ferguson TEA/C/D/E models.

I have the PTO shaft increaser. You need it for the type of mower that came with it. Slowly buying bits and pieces for the tactor (2 PTO covers, both the wrong size -.-). Not much to update on, anything that I have done recently has just been sanding and priming small parts. 12. The T20 moved home earlier today. Simply put the back wheels back on, put a chain around the fulcrum pin (Front axle pivot) and lift the front of it up with the matbro. 13. View from the back. Not much to do here before primer and topcoat goes on (Wheels being done separately).

Grizz,More than enough reasons there,Get one bought! Also,keep it up with the treads,love em. The one on the teardrop trailer and the tip finds are great. dodgerover, The hydraulics are working but when the tractor was going they were rusted stiff. You needed 2 heavy men jumping on the lift arms to get them down. I've got it all freed off now so I will have to wait till she's back together to see holds in position. I haven't used the finger bar mower yet. My dad and uncle would have used one years ago so It will be no bother putting it going. I was told the mower was working fine. It is in very good shape and surprisingly rust free. Todays work.. 11. PTO shaft back in. New seal as the old one was leaking. Sanded and primed most of the bottom of the tractor. Nearly there..Nearly.

5. The strip down begins. Bonnet off without much bother. Mudguard skins (which are new) came off no bother. Brake drums came off suprisingly easy after the 2 retaining screws were loosened. 6. Seat off no bother. Radiator off,needs to be flushed out and a bit of welding on the fan shroud. Exhaust and studs all came out easy. 7. Dashboard off which was abit of a pain. Rusty screws which have been in there since 1951. Footrests off. Wishbone and steering arms off. 8. Grinding,sandblasting and wire burshing my way through the rust and paint. 9. Getting there.... 10. Bare bones of the tractor now nearly fully sanded and given the first coat of primer. Quite a few of the small parts also sanded and primed. Thats all for now,More soon.

Well I've been lurking for a right while now so I suppose its time I made a thread. I bought this TE20 off Ebay a back around November or so for the princely sum of £621 (With a Ferguson Fingerbar mower). I rolled it off the tow truck,got her going,drove about for a few hours and then drove her into the shed and started stripping her down. The tractor was an Anglesey tractor all her life. Registered EY 9997 in November 1951 to a Mr. Thomas. I bought her off the second owner (of 2/3 years) back in November. 1. One of the photos off the Ebay add. 2. Another photo from the Ebay add. 3. The tractor landing in the yard many weeks after I won the auction. Not as good looking as she was in the auction photos but not in too bad off shape. 4. Got her going after awhile. Drove her about 2 miles about the place with a very sticky clutch pedal. Not fun.
