Hi!
I've got a Ferguson TEA. The thing just below the fuel tank looks rather gummed up, but every time I try to remove it to clean it, petrol leaks out. How do I remove it without emptying the tank?Thanks in advance!

If it is nasty looking do yourself a favor and replace it with an generic one. I have messed with mine for years and it has been constant intermittent trouble. You might be well served to drain the tand and flush it making sure theres no trash in the tank which can cause the same thing. You can drain it by siphon hose mostly or just pull the 7/16 bolt from the side of the carb bowl drain. You can get the bowl assy for under $30 which is what a couple old timers told me to do. These things can screw up for no visible reason. Its worth $30 of your time not to touch it again for many years. Make sure to use pipe tape on the threads when you install. An inline filter wouldn't hurt either.

I followed your advise and purchased a new unit. ($19) It worked great, thanks for the advise. They didn't have one for my to-20 but the one for a ford tractor worked fine.

Hello; I would change it out if I was you! Unbolt the tank and flush it out with gas a few times then screw in a new one, if it starts leaking at the wrong time you will regret you did not do it! You can find them on E-Bay under the search of "Ferguson Tractor" cheap take a look. Mark H.

Above the glass bowl, you should find a petcock (shut off valve). Close the petcock and then remove the bowl for cleaning.

If you don't have a petcock on the sediment bowl assembly, you will need to either drain the tank or park the tractor at a severe angle (maybe not practical) so that the fuel doesn't run out.

Good luck.

Yep, I can see a petcock, but it is plastic, and very hard to turn. Is it clockwise a quarter turn, because it becomes extremely hard to turn there. Sorry for all this, but thanks for the reasurance!

I think the original Ferguson fuel shut-off petcocks were a type of "pot" metal. If I remember correctly, one turn counter-clockwise from the off position was "ON". Another turn in that direction was the fuel "RESERVE" postion. This was handy in the abscence of a fuel gauge in that when you ran out, you turned the valve once more and still had enough to make it back to the gas barrel. (Probably more than you really wanted to know.)

Mine still has the original (till it screws up again). Its cast aluminum with a wheel the size of a quarter to turn. About a turn and a half that lets the gas flow, the rest of the way lets it go to reserve. My Farmall had the straight lever type and it sucks. If yours it plastic thats just another reason to toss it. The new one on my Farmall looks just about like the Ferguson one.
