Keeping a promise, I’m finally taking the Fergie to the Kelsall Steam Rally. And while the day didn’t go smoothly, I can’t wait to go again.
Little Grey Fergie
I love a classic and I do like wiring. Fortunate then that the last stage of restoration for this 1951 Ferguson TE20 was the wiring. These articles cover the recovery, final restoration an return to the owner of this Little Grey Fergie. It’s been an adventure with a fair few ups and downs.
Moving the Fergie was becoming troublesome. I had to do something about the rust in the fuel! Could I get away with just lining the fuel tank?
With the Fergie starting reliably it was time for topping the field. But first, we needed to check the hydraulic system and adapt the PTO.
Despite the expectation not to change the 6v Fergie starter motor, it finally died. A new starter was installed and reliability regained.
With the Fergie electrics overhauled, it was time to focus on the weak spark of the ignition and the rusty fuel tank
It’s finally time to tackle the Fergie wiring system and see if life can be brought back into it. Will it start first time?
Not all automotive adventures are on road. In this series of articles, we’ll look at the recovery and restoration of a Little Grey Fergie.
