Howdy folks
I've just stumbled across this site, and am enjoying going through the various threads and picking up on the wealth of information that some of you have tucked away in your heads.
I recently bought a 1955 TED 20 (S/N 446650), and intend to restore it as and when money becomes available.
It is in running condition (only just), but is also giving me more grey hairs than I care to have right now.
A few weeks back I mowed my field, and the tractor performed ok, but a few days back I started it again, and it barely has the power to pull the mower along the ground, let alone drive the PTO as well.
I saw a thread on timing, where the starter was removed to get the timing marks on the flywheel lined up... am I correct in thinking that this will apply to my model as well... there are no visible marks on the crankshaft pulley or the crankcase.
Thanks in advance for all the help I'll be requesting
Regards Derek
