I have my trusty Ferguson apart to fix a few “niggling” details and to give it a quick cosmetic restoration.
The mechanical list includes:
- Rear axle seals
- Repack rear bearings
- Adjust brakes
- Front left wheel bearing
- Steering column bushings
- New governor
- Carb rebuild
- New exhaust
- New lift arms
- Adjust valves
- New hoses and belts
- Replumb oil pressure gauge
- New right rear wheel
- New tires
- New wiring, voltage regulator and starter relay
Cosmetic:
- New fenders
- Headlights and work light
- Repair battery box
- Repair grille lower panel
- New grille
- Repair right foot board
- Repair hood
- Paint (a quickie spray bomb job)
That’s probably enough. Not a complete restoration but the tractor should work better and be way more pleasing to the eye when I’m done!
I think I like the tractor better when it does not look like some kind of bug missing its hind legs. ;)
