Just a couple of photos from the first day of filming we did for the Ferguson TE 20 Hydraulics DVD. In this shot the lighting and camera were focused on the work bench as we dismantled the pump.
Now take a look at the colour of the transmission oil that came out.
The oil clearly hadn’t been […]
Well it’s nearly 18 months since we bought a TEF 20 with a seized engine. As soon as we got the tractor home we were eager to get started with stripping the engine and finding out where the problem was. But the TEF is still sat in the corner of the shed, so why is […]
If there’s one model of tractor that’s written most about on the internet it is probably the Ferguson TE 20. That’s not really surprising in itself, as there were well over 500,000 tractors manufactured between 1946 and 1956.

Rich from New York has sent in a question about his MF202. The hydraulic pump isn’t outputting any pressure. Rich has just bought the Hydraulics DVD and while it is in transit accross to The States he’s asked this question…

These tractor were certainly the most successful tractor range ever built and revolutionised farming in the post war years. In fact the TE20 was the first tractor to be used on […]
Paul has just had his grey and gold FE35 tractor stolen between the 6th and
7th of May 2010. This isn’t the first theft that Vintage Tractor Engineer has heard about recently. Not only are people stealing our tractors, but they are even removing bonnets and other parts and stealing them. If anyone has any […]
Per owns a red and grey FE35 and uses it around his holding in Canada, you can see some good information on his website. Per has been watching our Hydraulics DVD and asks this question…
Hi Steve & Ian,
Looking at your hydraulics DVD I notice that, when installing the transfer pipe, Ian puts a strange […]
Dave from Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada has sent us a photo of his FE 35 tractor this week…
Vintage Tractor Engineer really connected with this photo and thought ‘Spring is here, let me out of this barn!’
Thanks Dave, it is a great photo and probably portrays how all us northern hemisphere tractor enthusiasts feel as Spring […]
