They make magnets on extending sticks. The magnet is a 1/4" or so. TEKTON 24 in. Flexible Magnetic Pick-Up Tool-7611 - The Home Depot

A magnetic pickup tool, long needle nose pliers might work.

If all else fails turn the tractor over and shake it good that worked for my cat last year.

I don't know what your tractor is like but on my Kubota the dash and dash cowl come off very easily.

For magnetic objects use a magnetic retrieval tool for non magnetic objects some chewing gum on a stick. Barring that, dynomite.

I'm curious. Is Vaaljapie Ferguson in another language or is it a specific model of Ferguson? I believe the op lives in Zimbabwe.

I dont know why its called a Vaaljapie, but it is a TO-20 Ferguson (export version of TE-20) as far as I know. The manuals are the same.

If its a t?-20 the starter drive probably fell off in the bellhousing. A 3 jaw might get it.. But the flywheel and ring hear make it hard to see unless you have a borescope to go with it.

There is plenty of storage space down there, but occasionally the parts tide the ring hear and bust out a chunk of bellhousing.
