Well, I am ALMOST done with the Ferguson TO-30, and I had an interesting request while I was in town today... I saw an old friend of mine, 95, and he remembered my neighbor that passed away that gave me all of the equipment and Ferguson..
He said that one of the most vivid memories he had was when he had gone down to the farm one day, and Ralph was outside hooking up his Ford 501 Mower onto the Ferguson.. He said he remembered the bright red mower and how he thought it look VERY nice on the Ferguson...
Well I told him that I actually had that mower, and that I was still using it, he said to me:
Well, if you have still got it, then get off your a$$ and restore it so I can see it on the tractor one more time...
New mission, I now need to shoot a coat of paint on my mower, but, I need a few decals... I KNOW that they said FORD right across the sheet metal cover thing that goes around the spring at the top of the mower. Does anyone know where I could find two of them, and also what other decals were one it??
Also, what color should I paint it??? I have two 501's and both are clearly red, but the neighbor also has two, and they are both clearly blue, and yes, ALL of the serial plates say Ford 501??
Depending on what color I paint it (Red/Blue) what paint should I use?? I am assuming that it was just the normal 8n Ford Red, but what is the blue??
I would love to hear your input, and I will try to get a few pictures of the Ferguson. Right now it is almost all back together except for a few little things, mostly the wiring. Other than that I have to make a new oil line, and put all of the tires on.. I have special bolts coming to mount the 6 hoop rims and tires on the back, and a BRAND SPANKIN NEW seat of 6.00 x 16's for the front... I'll get them mounted on to the rims, and HOPEFULLY I will get to hear the ole girl run on the weekend...
Also to add to that, anyone have a wiring schematic for a TO-30??

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
