Hello
Needed a tractor and found a tractor close by that could be delivered, turns out to be a Ferguson TO30. Looks to be in "Fair" condition, lots of welds everywhere. It came with a Fasco loader, lines are rotted and the cylinders shot. Oh and the engine is apart but all the parts "should" be there, goodie
First thing we did was remove the loader to get easy access to the engine. After cleaning the top of the block we found cracks between the sleeves. Further reading online tells me this a common problem with a few solutions ranging from mild to extreme. We have already taken in the loaders lines, cylinders and pump in for replacement and rebuild. The previous owner has already rebuilt the top, new valves ect.
So I humbly ask for the help from owners and mechanics of these wonderful tractors.
What method do you recommend to repair the block?
Can a Check list be provided?
Also a To Do list?
More information:
The Serial plate number is missing
The steering "Hub" has been replaced with a TE
It was converted to 12 Volts
A previous owner decided to cut holes over the radiator and gas caps..... :shock:
Pictures:
Will get more pictures later
