Rodney's Fergie

[1BadVan]

Last year Rodney, his Dad, and 3 brothers went on a Fergie run from Cobar to Louth (Western NSW) on the June Long weekend, and decided he wanted to have one as well. So keeping his ears on the ground found this old girl.

she only needs a bit of a paint, and appears to go well...

Is it a TEA 20? Petrol or Diesel? Gotta love the Fergies talk about workhorses.

When there's real work to be done you need a red one. Wish I had a bucket like Twotee's one though.
This is the day I brought it home. Ironically, it's first job was to tow the truck out of the boghole it's sitting in. There's an underground spring running through that gully which turns into an above ground creek pretty quick and then takes a long time to dry out.

Thought i saw a tractor similar to the first one, on the way to Gilgandra yesterday.
Just don't remember where i saw it.
It was dark on the way back so couldn't see anything.

Wasn't the Red one a 35hp over the grey 20hp?

Yes Badvan, it is a T20 and petrol...this one isn't going to have a V8 put in it, we will leave it original, and paint it perhaps...

There are a couple of different ones. There's the MF 35 and it's updated model the 135. Then there's the MF65 which is a bit bigger (that's what mine is) and it's updated model was the 165.
The TEA20's are a great little tractor but once you try to drag a decent sized load they just haven't got the wieght to get traction.

Just steer clear of those rotten multi power massy's!

lets not forget the Massey Ferguson FE 35 just after the TEA 20 I think.

These were so much more user friendly and have a racing history of sorts. Plus the mrs could come for a ride as well!
