Hi all,
I"m going through a TO20- Ser#27327. I believe that makes it about a 1950.
Is there any way to tell where this was built. I thought after "48 that the TO"s were built in Detroit but thought I read somewhere that they were built both here and England for a while.
Was everything painted gray - starter, generator, coil, etc??
One of the rear axel seals is leaking. After reading the book, not sure I want to tackle it. I have the brakes off but not sure I want to get into pulling the whole axel assemb. off and trying to replace myself. Anyone been there as a hobbyist and shade tree mechanic?
Adjusting vavles-the book is a little vague- #1 cyl. at TDC- but do you do each cyl at TDC or can
you adjust more that one valve at a time. The reason I ask, my "47 Farmall Cub, several valves could be adjusted at once, with basically a 2 step process if I remember right. Thanks for any help. Sorry for the long post.
Tom B

TO20 tractors have only ever been built in USA TE20 was built in UK and large numbers were exported to USA. The serial number is 1950. Everything was painted grey, except badges (blue) and ignition coil sometimes, possibly to prevent arcing.
For your early tractor you can get an extra seal that fits over the axle-shaft that will stop it leaking, it's called "Sure Seal" and not expensive, you can get this from most good parts suppliers of TO20 parts, try this site, they do stock it.You don't have to remove the axle assembly from the tractor, all you need to do is withdraw the axle-shaft from the housing. To replace the original seal can be done but it isnt for the feint hearted as it involves quite a struggle to get it apart. You have to set your valves with #1 cyl at TDC you set valves 7 and 8..#2 cyl at TDC you set valves 5 and 6...#3 cyl at TDC you set valves 3 and 4 # 4 cyl at TDC you set valves 1 and 2. Number 1 is nearest to the radiator. This way would be the same for most 4 cylinder engines. if you want more detailed info on how to get the axle apart mail me at fergusontractors at hotmail dot com

John,
Thank you for your prompt response and all the information. It sounds like it might be something I can handle since the brakes are off, I'm half way there. Tom B
