Restoration Question

I know this is trivial, but I welcome any input.
I am concerned about the name tag on my TE 20 - the one by the steering wheel.
It is badly oxidized. I am sure I can clean it up, using a non-abrasive such as Tarn-Ex.
But what would one coat it with to prevent further oxidation? Perhaps several coats of clear lacquer?
Comments/ideas will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Had the same thought to restore the data plate on my TEA20. Gave up. Bought a new one in the UK for around $10 and had the original Ser No engraved.

Incidentally, to remove the old date plate, don't grind off the pin heads.

You need to come from the back, inside the steering shaft casting and gently drive out the old pins with a very small pin punch.

The replacement data plate comes with four new stainless pins.

Thanks for the reply. That new one sure looks great. I wonder if I can order one here in the U.S.

Bob, That looks like a great job, where did you get the plate? FoFH?

Actually, I don't recall who I bought it off by mail order from the UK, but John (UK) put me onto the supplier.

A quick Google came up with a link - hope this site doesn't mind? You will need to down load the pdf file for "Ferguson T20 TEA" etc.

It is not where I bought my data plate, but would be the same thing. They list four different data plates:

ABH0050 (Brass), ABH0051, ABH0052 and ABH0053, all UK Pounds 8.99 each.

You would need to contact them to find out which data plate matches your tractor. I suspect they only supply data plates for TE series tractors, not TO series US built tractors.

I also bought the decal for the TE20 air cleaner from a UK supplier.

Data Plate - Download pdf file.

Thanks, Bob.
Looks like a very good source for many parts, but do they ship to the U.S.?

Dennis. I bought most of my "odd" parts for the '53 Fergy TEA20 in the UK, and more recently, various parts for my '66 Jaguar E Type / XKE coupe and I'm yet to find a supplier in the UK that isn't happy to ship parts overseas. Just watch out they don't try to add VAT!

I've found UK Air Parcel Post is great - only five days from the UK to my little town in Outback Australia. No hassles and the price very fair!

I recently saved over Aus$250 (US$200) on a full set of door, window etc rubbers and moldings for the Jag - and that was after air freight cost from the UK.

And if you really search the internet, there is very few parts you can't find!
