Date my fergie

Gidday!

I'm trying to identify a grey Ferguson tractor I bought a couple of weeks ago as a project.

Its my first tractor, it wasn't running and has been sitting in a shed for the last 3yrs.

I did all the usual checks before cranking it over and it showed signs of life so I paid the man and hauled it home.

The previous owner said it was a TE-20 but had no idea of what year it was.

I did a compression test wet & dry when I got her home, pretty low in all cylinders, so off came the head.

4 really badly burnt exhaust valves but everything else was in pretty good shape.

I replaced the exhaust valves, reseated all 8, decarbonised everything, put it all back together along with all new ignition parts and rebuilt the zenith 24t carbie and she fired right up.

Purred like a bloody kitten.

This is what I do know:

- Serial No. Plate is missing from the steering column.

- The motor is a Standard Motor Company gasoline engine 85mm bore.

- Number cast into the side of the steering column is 8537P

- Engine No.S124890E

- Could have been converted to 12v from 6v as battery & generator are 12v but the starter is 6v

All of it looks to be of a similar vintage so I can't tell.

Now I know she runs, stops, pto works just the hydraulic lift came up, went down and hasn't moved since.

From all accounts that should be a fairly simple fix as well, so now I wanna know exactly what it is I have.

My kids love it and have already named her 'Ruby'

I got a new 4' slasher with the deal so Ruby needs to get to work.

Any help would be much appreciated.
