Went to look at an old Ferggie TO-20 this weekend. Nice looking tractor, but there were a few things to make me walk away for now. One was I could not hear it run. Some wiring needed to be done. He says he will get it together so I can hear it run, and drive it. Second is the PTO shaft has an oil leak. Anything common there? Something to look for? Next was the mounting where the lift arms[not the 3ph arms, the ones on top that lift them] has a few cracks. The cracks are where the bolts go in, they are reinforced now, and do not leak, or look like they have. Any worries there?
Also there were some strange things with this tractor. First, it had no footboards, just pegs. I know the old Fords had this setup, but did not know the Ferggies did. Also, the rear breaks had only one pedal. I thought these had two pedals for the breaks.
Mostly it looked like a nice tractor. Real good rubber, tin OK[PO cut hole in top for fuel fill] Looked like it spent most of its life inside.
What do you all think? The price is right, and I can fix things myself.
