Hi There....
I sadly report that my 1949 TO-20 bit the dust. I spun a bearing.
I was using a grooming mower and was going around my meadow a total 0f 700-900 feet per loop. After completing the loop I spotted a stream of oil on the cut grass. I shut it down immediately but it was too late.
The oil pan has a 6" disk on the bottom that is removed to change the oil filter. It is held by a single square headed bolt. That bolt loosened and released 90 % of my engine oil.
I have owned the Ferguson tractor for 3 years and have checked the oil level at the dipstick and noted that the oil was extremely clean. I have run the tractor 15-20 hours per summer and never felt the need to change the oil. So....I never touched the bolt that loosened.
Take a moment and snug up that bolt every now and then!
Am looking for a suitable motor or to sell the TO-20 as a parts tractor.
Take care,
John
