I've got a "Franken-Fergie" TO20 w/TO30 thread going.
These are more general questions.
1) TO30 oil filter same as N Fords? My manuals, Fergy and IT don't list filter commercial part #s. Has external TO30 filter. EG fram C3P ?
2) Tranny/dif/hyd oil. Mine seems to have (clean) gear oil in it now. I've been using Ford spec hyd fluid in my 9N for 35 years now, cold winters. Is hyd fluid same considerations as the N fords? Will hyd be slow in cold weather w/gear oil. Any issues with leaks w/different fluids? Do Fergy axle seals go bad like Ns, and are fixes the same?
3) What will be running the Fergie be much different than my 9N? I plow, brush hog, pull logs, .......... I already heard the brakes work!!!! How does the TO30 129 engine compare with the Ns for power? I see 23 and 29 HP listed belt HP, 9N vs TO30. 4sp tranny help much?
4) Tune up specs here show idle/static at TDC, Manuals show 7 or 6 BTC, TO20 vs 30. What is correct?
5) One other strange thing from my reading. IT manual has intake valve seat angles listed at 30? Typo for 45?
