Joe the small engine man

Looks a good project buddy good luck un seizing it

The Fergie looks a nice project Joe, it should keep you busy for a while

ill certainly try it! just soaked them with coke, apparently it works! anyway i'm making a contraption to put over the cylinders to push the two down forcing the other two come up slowly, hopefully doing it every carefully it will free the rings on the cylinder from the liners, Ive done it before on a 3 cylinder perkins engine that was seized and it worked, so hopefully it will again!
 
Regards Joe
 
does anyone else on the forum own a FE35 or a TO35?

"the engine isn't the original, it looks like a 16HP Briggs but im not sure haven't had time to really look at it, so will have a better look soon! "
 
Not sure about it being a Briggs with that vertical oil filter - possibly a touch of Kohler - but it's been a while!

hi all, as you know I got a FE35 Ferguson, but at the sametime I couldn't resist the Westwood!
 
it was used as a bowling green first cut mower, it cam with spare belts and all the attachments. its a great runner with a new re-built gearbox, I also took the original gearbox as a spare for parts. the engine isn't the original, it looks like a 16HP Briggs but im not sure haven't had time to really look at it, so will have a better look soon!
 

 
This is it loaded up on the trailer, as soon as I got it up there it ran out of petrol!

That looks very tidy that Westwood. A nice find.

Yup!Updates are sparse due to moving house, just found this pic from Tractorfest. I did some replica chrome decals for the new shifter plates on the transmission tunnel.

Bought this chainsaw carving from a local guy last year and mounted it up on my shed. Just thought it looked cool with the snow covered beard
Amazing what some guys can do with a chainsaw.

That makes 2 of us Ian

Hi all I had a little play the other day down at the shed I wanted to finish the exhaust system off or as near as , and carry on with rear body etc !

How about something like this James.

Well this is the lastest Bolens in my fleet.
 
1973 Bolens 1556 c/w tiller. Runs well but a right pig to start, Hopefully with a good service & carb clean will solve it. When I get a min!!

i don't own one but i worked for someone who had every version of the ferguson 35 apperantly

Patience will be rewarded! I'd be inclined to give it a couple of weeks before resorting to the block of wood and lump hammer! Probably marginal but at this stage its penetration thats needed more than lubrication . Plus Gas  or a mix of acetone and brake or AT fluid maybe.

Just watching a repeat of a repeat of Salvage Squad and they have a stuck four cylinder lump from a Tiger Moth and the old chap supervising them heats up a pan of oil until it smokes and then pours some into each bore . Apparently the heat helps penetration and expands the bore a fraction to aid freeing the pistons. - allegedly !!  Any way it worked for them   !
So get the chip pan out!
