not a ford but its old skool

[Mr Sam]

dunno if ive shown this before but what the heck for whoever wants a laugh

 

first registered in 1953 and for anyone that knows owt about them its a TEF-20 aka "Grey Fergie" 2.0 dieself engine developig 23bhp and will hit 20 in lightning fast time .......i remember the first time i had it running propperly hit 4th gear (with revs) and about flew off the back

 

gorgeous "patina" faded red, unfortunatly this was before i got into cars and the "rat-look" in the mean time i did this.........

 

 

painted it matt black with fireplace paint decided it was a little bare, so gave it a red stripe in hammerite BIG MISTAKE now it looks like a certain van

 

anyway the waterpumps bust at the moment untill i can locate a replacement and find the time to fit it

Being down here in the oo-arr west country most summer vintage shows have tractor shows and displays too.

 

There was a brace of mint condition TE20's at Morval vintage rally this summer. A revolutionary machine in its day, it effectively put paid to the use of shire horses on farms!

[Mr Sam]

exactly look at the back end of any modern tractor and you see roughly the same hydrolic 3 point linkage Harry Ferguson developed all those years ago then sold it to ford with a simple handshake

[Twinkle]

used to muck about on my m8s tractor years ago it was great fun especially as it was a porsche one and yes it was in guards red

[Pipster007]

You'd have more pulling power than the Fonz with one of those

[Burns]

and look at the rear tyres... imagine the traction up the strip

[Mr Sam]

its better at drifting than drag racing, independant brakes = FTW
