Plough My Field is a great site devoted to Tim’s TEF 20 and gives the first steps in learning how to match plough. Tim can supply hard to find parts such as the side mounted number plate holder, top link rack and plough lamp bracket.

Ferguson TO35 Restoration

A reader has sent in these pictures of a badly fire damaged TO35. This tractor has the Standard 23C 4 cylinder diesel engine and we hope that the engine rebuild DVD will come in useful in the tractor’s restoration.

Vintagetractorengineer has a great deal of respect for anyone who is dedicated enough to undertake such a huge tractor renovation project (that many people would not even consider starting!). No doubt there will be many weekends and late nights spent on this tractor over the coming months. The Friends of Ferguson Heritage have a good list of suppliers from around the world for new/second hand parts, decals and other information. These guys seem to stock a good range of parts and the prices are published on the web.

As we can see from the pictures, the fire will necessitate replacement of parts that may otherwise have been serviceable.

The TO35 was built in the US and so we don’t see them in the UK, however we believe the tinwork and the wheels should be in grey and the castings painted green. If anyone knows better then let us know.

Good luck Kevin and let us know how you progress.
