Father Christmas is doing you no favours mate. You NEED a torch... an oxy acetylene time and muscle and blood pressure saving device... I don't know how many times this month I thought of my fergie mate PCP as I.... rolled out the torches... over and over after one blizzard after a bloody other.... as I lay on ice and snow and the only warmth in the area is whatever I had to put the torch to... over and over again...... yep. Tell that ol sod you want to trade the tractor for a set of torches... can't tell... he might do it???

Lucky so and so :twisted:
Great looking tractor PcP , back tyres probably paid for the rest . Looks as if it has the quite rare embossed side badges as well , good find .
Another TED , soon you will have cornered the Qld . market .
Yep it cost me all of 3 cases of xxxx Gold and it comes with new mud guards, new steering wheel and foot rests, still in wrapping yet to be installed and new exhaust system. ON the other side of the bonnet is another embossing, albiet not orignal.
IT says The B1tch
She runs and sounds good, has good oil pressure, 60 psi and yep i bought it as the 2 rear tyres are like new :lol:
No clutch or brakes, So looks like I am going inside, i ll be an expert on splitting these old girls soon.
and tony.... Real men dont use torches, espcially when they dont have any......
Merry Christmas all.

Yee... and real men don't ask Santa Claus for shop tools... but it don't hurt to try!!!
Bottles or cans? The seller was a conisuer I presume? Yea the tires look worth more than the cost of beer, but if you can swap beer for a set of torches...???? There might be some dry, still half sober desperate strines out in the bush by New Year's Day....Go out there and see what you can arrange. Make sure there is a brazing as well as cutting head... something left in the cylinders would be worth an other couple 6 packs... good luck!! And Happy Christmas to you and yours!!!

Ny ny ny. ya got it all buggered up Steve.
It is 'Strine' =informal Australian English language
'bloody strine'= informal Australian bloke
Reckon it is my fault for leaving out the adjective 'bloody'.
Your other post has a - most likely... a 'pom' driving a fergie. You can tell by his flat cap and the plate on the trailer. And lack of flip flops..... if he was- he'd be wearing stockings in his flip flops.... tucked between his toes...... whole other bloody subject inbloody tirely....

the video of plowing was just that, just plowing. no other intent intended. don't know what a "pom" is and don't care. just plowing that I thought some would enjoy. no hidden meanings. life is too short.
merry Christmas and happy new year.

I give myself a good free education off youtube. This guy is doing a good job. First pass he has the right share just riding the ground, then he adjusts the leveling box when his right wheels are in the first furrow- then he corrects it a couple more times. That plow (plough) has 2 hand levers to adjust at the links? Never saw that before. That could fine tune the job from the seat.
BTW, a pom- or pommie.... is 'Prisoner of Mother England'.... another 'Austral Empire'... southern hemisphere thing... like ' how do you throw away a boomerang you don't want anymore?'

And more photos, of the new/old toy.
The previous owner must have wanted a diesel, by the look of the flash air filter
And an interesting place for the key....
Buggered if i know how they broke this( could be a job for some torches)
And that other flashy hood emblem
And the plaque that that the service shop in mackay apparently used

I will bet that air filter is factory. There would have been screen where the key is... and that is a safe place for the key to not get turned by accident. I bet someone torched that axle so they could tuck in the front wheels as far as possible. My vineyard/narrow MF was made like that... BUT YES!!! Another point for owning a torch... yes! What ever it takes to convince you to get one mate!

Some good points and observations Tony , lots of Fergies were used as general utility tractors on sugar cane fields .
It was about the only place in Australia where you could find more than the odd banana loader [ high lift ] , also down to work in the cane fields .
I thought the clutch was stuffed on this new toy. Worked out that it was just rusted together. I rocked it with the clutch depressed in 3 rd, and it popped loose. drove round for a while it works but still a bit sticky, pitty these boys dont have a clutch inspection plate.
Well happy its loose, may save doing the splt, time will tell :shock:

Ride the clutch a bit till it gets hot, this will clean up any surface contamination and dry up a fair amount of oil leakage as well .
After freeing clutch it seems it might be stuffed. I hit it with brake cleaner up thru the weep hole, who knows if i got it on the clutch or not. But after driving it around for a while over the last few days and riding the clutch to burn the crude off.
It can grind getting it into gear ( so clutch worn) once your driving you can put foot on clutch and it can take a while for it to disengage and this is random. It seems like the clutch is catching, so it looks like it needs splitting, unless there are any other backyard bandit options out there

I suppose you have adjusted the free play ?
Tony in Mass.

Depends how much else you got to do around there, and how badly you do not want to split it, but it sounds like a spring or 2 might be bad. Could be the disc is waddling around in there.
It might be best to get the rest of the fleet ready to sail- then put this one in dry dock.... split and dive into this new one last.... using the word 'new' loosely....

Yup to free play. I have been parking her with the clutch disengaged and been work here for a few days. Clutch is a lot better albiet a little grappy sometimes and enjoy the odd kangaroo hop :shock: But this ted20, The 4xing B!tch as she is called is a little gem.
I do have one question. The 3pl arms will not go all the way to the ground, the RHS arm hits the axle housing when the arms are 200 mm of the ground. I compared it to my other tractor and all looks the same?
Does this come down to correctly adjusting the 3pl lever or are there other things at play .

Yea try adjusting the leveling box screw to get longer- and if things are the plain wrong part, you are stuffed. If things are bent, you can... oh sod, you don't have a TORCH do you???
Tony in Mass.
Well-known Member
Forgot. Yes I am not completely perfect... but I do own a TORCH!
Hey, they aren't suppose to drag the dirt anyway, 200 mm is 7 inches right? 4 inches, or 100mm is about right. You got oversized tires (tyres)??? Just the right side that high? Unscrew the leveling box--- take a pic for us of the arsend of the tractor, we'll see if something is wrong there..

Last thing you want is the lift arms hitting the ground , how are you going to move in reverse if they are digging in ? It's hard enough avoiding lumps and bumps in the paddocks with them sitting eight inches above .
Makes sense that they sit above the ground, my other ted20 must been worn. IT just seemed odd that my 3pl attachment would not sit on the ground,
With the 3pl attachment on the arms are 200 mm above ground any way so i think all is as it should be.
Good point re tyres, but standard size are fitted.

Nay bloody worries mate, she'll be right... the more ya think of it- hardly any original 3 point hitch anythings needed the lower links less than knee high, or worked lower than what you have now... lifting the bloody thing high enough out of the way is more important.... like an oxy-acetelene cutting and bloody welding and..... 'bronzing' (strine) TORCH .... is important... like a good ol 'merican made flashlight..... whilst fixing tractors in the pitch black darkness of the wop wops.....is also important!!!
