Broken hydraulic top covers are a relatively common problem with Ferguson TE-20 tractors. The easiest solution for most people is to source a second hand component.
The earlier tractors had the relief valve fitted to the pump, whilst the later tractors had the valve integrated into the top cover.
It is therefore necessary to ensure that when […]
This photo of a tow hitch on a TE20 has been sent in by Jay. Jay asks if this is a ferguson part or has someone fabricated it? There is a large spring inside to absorb any jolts. It looks home/workshop fabricated, but somebody may know differently. There’s also an issue with a seized pin.
As […]

The TE20 in question will only lift a small weight on the rear linkage, and then only when the engine is running at high revs. Patrick has inspected the […]
We have now completed filming the Hydraulics DVD for the TE 20 tractor range. Everything went pretty much to plan with the filming, although the sheep in the nearby field didn’t seem to underatand we needed them to keep quite when we were recording the audio. Some of the scenes needed several ‘takes’ to capture […]
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 […]
