Happy Birthday Fergy!

My 1953 TEA20 turns 60 today!! The transmission casting is dated 3 July 1953, engine block dated 1 July 1953 and John (UK) was kind enough to identify Fergy rolled off the production line on 10 July 1953.

I was nine when Fergy was produced. I have owned the tractor since 1986 and used it to clear my acreage, level for my house pad, bore verandah post holes and a multitude of tasks.

For the last couple of years, Fergy sat in the shed whilst I restored my 1993 Jaguar XKE/E Type and tinkered with the Joseph Lucas electrical nightmare in my 1993 Jaguar XJ40.

Now the restoration of Fergy has restarted and is nearing completion within a few days. We're all going into retirement and Fergy will only be worked on Club field days!

What a wonderful machine Harry Ferguson developed!

Aside from two Jaguars and Fergy, here is my other retirement toy:

Sea Ray 290 with two 260 HP Mercruiser V8's.

Any of you ever visiting Australia you will be very welcome to come share my toys!!!

'44 was a very good year! :lol:

And I still do 60 hour working weeks, managing a company with over 300 employees. But the time is very rapidly coming for me to commence my next life, retired in toy world!!!

I think the end of October will find me settled into my new home on the water at Hope Island, just north of the Gold Coast.

:D

Someone is going to get a great buy on EBay:

$202 bid with only 20 hours to run, on a Fergy TEF20 with what appears to be straight tins etc!!!
 
He has put that one up three times now , and pulled
it out of the auction with an hour or two to go each time .
It is for sale on Gumtree for $5500, !
 
All these guys made me very welcome when I last visited my daughter in Houston. Least I can do is return the hospitality if they ever visit Downunder!!! :lol:

My daughter has advised I will be back in Houston and Florida before the end of this year.
