Hi all, I am looking to buy a small tractor, today I looked at what the ad said was a ferguson T 120, when I looked at it, it had the tip up hood, the overhead valve motor, and HF stamped on the rear axel housing, but the rear fenders were stamped ford.
When I asked the owner he said it was a Ford Ferguson, this is a 1948 model. It starts right up, runs good, and everything seems to work except the brakes. would this be an expensive fix? I noticed the rear wheel had a little oil or something on the inside of it. Could it just need seals and new brake pads, and if so is this a hard or expensive job?
Thanks for all your help.

To add to what phil had to say, look for the serial number on the plate on the dash. It should have something like TO abcde on it. TO 60000 and up where TO-30's and T0 59999 and under are TO-20's. The engine data plate is on the left hand side just below the head split line in about the mdddle, fore and aft. The Continental Z120 was used on the -20's and the Z129 was used on the -30's. Some of the Ford 2N and 9N and 8N parts are interchangeable, hence the Ford fenders. The 2N and 9N were sometimes called Ford Fergusons because they used the Ferguson System during the famous handshake agreement between Harry Ferguson and Henry Ford.

Based on your description, especially the part about the OVH valve motor, I'm assuming it is a TO-20 Ferguson on which someone has installed Ford fenders. If it is a TO-20, the oil filter will be inside the pan, not external. Also, the motor should have the designation Z120.... Look for that. As for the brakes, yes, you will probably need to remove the rear axles and install seals and then replace the shoes. The gear oil has undoubtedly saturated the shoes. Shoes and seals are available from a number of places, and the gear oil is GL-1, not GL-5.
