Pullstart 62,883 #1 Posted June 1 A friend of Mrs. P’s inherited this from a family member in WI. It’s been sitting for a couple years. I got it running fairly easy last night. It was great to see her take a ride on her new chore tractor! 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #3 Posted June 1 Probably a Continental engine since it's a TO not a TE or a TEA which had British engines in them. All were OHV engines, not flat head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,883 #4 Posted June 1 It blew my mind when it fired. I was just checking for spark. No choke, no throttle adjustment, only three plugs plugged in (checking #4 for spark and all!). I made a little video. More to come 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #10 Posted June 2 Continental engines used on the Ferguson TO tractors had side distributors with the coils horizontal. British or Standard engines also had side distributors with the coils vertical. Both engines had the distributors and the coils on the left side. The Continental engines will have the oil filters vertical and the British (Standard) engine the oil filter will be horizontal at an angle. Both engines have the oil filters on the left side. On the Perkins diesel engines, then I have no clue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone had said flathead and that I went with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
