Dragged out the barn today, as I needed another tractor to keep up at the yard for trailer duty. Hadn't been started for a year and she fired right up no problem, as far as I can tell these are rebadged Wheelhorse's a90 specials with a Briggs engine instead of a Kohler .this one's original but is missing the deck and lift apparatus. I've never seen another one in the flesh, this was my first "wheelhorse" so is somewhat special to me, paid £25 for it 5 years ago and up to 2 yrs ago it hauled wood every winter non-stop till it was replaced with one of the c-120s

Evening all this the first proper video of the 6x6 outside piloted by Sam IMG_1544.MOV

I picked up this Ferguson TEA-20 the other day along with a few other goodies, (posted on here somewhere) I haven't managed to found much out about the tractor as of yet, only that it was sold new local to me, (SUSSEX TRACTORS LTD, 33 THE HIGH STREET UCKFIELD) I received the log book the other day and I am the 6th owner from new, the old boy I brought it from had owned it since January 1999. Ill keep this thread going with the stages from the restoration, I started on it this week and have replaced the head gasket along with all the other top gaskets (Manifolds, Thermostat, Rocker Cover etc) The head gasket was leaking quite badly and when I removed the head it was clear why... none of the other gaskets needed replacing but seeing it come in a kit with all the new top end gaskets I replaced them whilst I was there... I finally got it back together this afternoon and took it for a nice drive this evening, no leaks from any of the gaskets! Next on my list is to replace all the filters and change the engine oil, and then change the transmission/hydraulics oil, once I've done that I will then be ordering lots of new bits and start to get it ready for painting and refitting all new shiny bits once its painted up! I'll keep you updated! The little man got a bit excited when he knew he was going out on 'fergie' Oh and he tried telling me how to fix it with his screwdriver!

a huge thank you to my friend titch of machinery decals......i had a couple of mowers to collect today, titch dropped everything to help me out this afternoon.....
