Doesn't look like a bad project! Should make a real sturdy trailer once you've finished with it! Look forward to seeing it restored,

I never thought about timing, flywheel is dead solid on the shaft as have been in there having a look, but what's best then? Use a puller to get the flywheel off and have a look?

Hello all, the picture I have attached isn't of mine. But it's as good as identical! I've been going crazy all day! I've changed spark plugs cleaned carbs air filters etc everything and I cannot get the engine to fire, not even cough, the spark is very strong and efficient? However no go? I've even tried pouring petrol in the plug hole but no luck? Nowhat to me this isn't normal? Surely a spark and petrol would at least make a bang? Checked compression and that's strong. I'm lost can you help? Cheers

Amazing quality of work there! Big well done!

Thank you for that great information and pictures Paul! You're definitely the man in the know when it comes to landmasters I knew I heard the name on here somewhere! I thought it was you that had the collection. I have replied to your PM.

Evening all, I picked this up today and I'm not entirely sure what it is, its not the normal shape mini tractor look alike ride on it's one of them snapper ride on's, the surface rust is all over however its not rot anywhere even the deck is solid and everything is free turning. I poured some petrol into the plug hole and she fired up, shouldn't need to much to get it running and driving again, it is chain driven from the gearbox to the rear axle. it says landmaster on it? I'm pretty sure I've heard that name thrown about on here? Can anyone tell me what this is? and is it worth keeping and restoring? or is it just a common muck? Many Thanks Charlie.

Evening Paul. I shall let him know about it, hes not very computer savvy so probably wont be joining us here anytime soon. hes always looking for different shows so i'll get back to you on that!

Great photos Paul, It was a nice weekend away overall the weather was kind to us on Friday whilst we were setting up camp. Woke up Saturday morning to a few inches of water all around us, good job none of us had tents! but the wind and breaks of sun soon dried that up, Sunday was rather warm as was Monday however the wind really picked up Monday, I noticed a few bent awnings around the camp fields. Indeed that is my wheel horse raider 10, along with my grandfather's freshly restored Cub Cadet Original, the chap who brought my cub cadet was also at the rally however he left it in the trailer and never showed it all weekend!

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!

Well today I picked up my new toy(s) to keep my busy this year. As most of you know I've wanted a bigger scale tractor for a while now and the right opportunity came along last week. I will still be exhibiting my smaller rides on's at many shows and meets along with you lot but I now have something different to play with as well!.... can never have enough! An old boy was selling his 1950 Ferguson TEA-20 tractor so I went and had a look, Its far from mint, but it starts, drives and all hydraulics work perfectly (the brake are a bit sharp too ) It needs a restoration over the summer and thankfully new parts are readily available and at a quite cheap cost as well. I plan on replacing all the taps, caps, hoses, nuts, bolts, seat cushion and steering wheel etc, along with all new oils and filters and of course give it a good all round service. I haven't done much to it today in fact nothing at all, only check the oils and then go for a quick play over the back fields however all the name plates have been painted over out of curiosity I sat and scratched one off and it revealed a plate that read. SUSSEX TRACTOR LTD Ferguson Main Dealers 33 THE HIGH STREET, UCKFIELD so it turns out it started its life not very far from me at all. I was very happy with the deal we had come up with and thought It cant get much better.... but then it did, the old boy was pleased I am going to restore it and show it again, after a chat he chucked in 2 Lister D engines with loads of spares, a water pump for the engines and some sort of root cutter. I already have one of these Lister D type engines so that now makes 3 of them Here is some pictures, I hope to keep you all updated as and when I do bits and bobs to the machines!

Happy Birthday pal, have a good day!

CC Original, that has been operated on, and didn't quite successfully go back together again! I'd like to have it just for the fenders/mud guards! Is it still for sale?!?!

Thank you lads! only 12 more months of being in the 'teens'

loving it! great work guys

Had some snow showers here but nothing settled!

Looks to be complete, whats your plans with this? restoration or leaving it as it is! nice WH!

Have a good day mate!

I might treat my horse to some Owatrol! I see you have done the feet plates / foot rests? does that not make it slippery to get on and off?

An event that's so close to home but yet I always miss it Do you know when the next meet up there is? I know they normally have one or two a year guessing it will be next year now! Looks good tad foggy and chilly!

Love these little Westwoods, used to spend hours driving round in circles at my grandfathers place 10 odd years ago! not sure what model it was, it had the gear stick up by the steering wheel and a spare fuel can in between your legs! I also like that Owatrol oil, I've never seen what it brings the machines up like but I have now, that's on the want list

As promised, here's a few pics! it appears they have the same maker! And this handy machine!

Very nice!

What a beautiful job you've made, well done!
