Sometimes we need to do a little head scratching and hair pulling to get things figured out. You did a great job on that old tractor. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Kevin that was one hell of a ride. Great clear voice and you are always on task without all the extra and unnecessary backstory of irrelevant and useless info. Very refreshing to listen to someone take us through the thought process of problem-solving. I have a similar problem with my 1952 TEA-20 which runs great until it gets hot and under load. The original carb was rebuilt last year and has run great until now. I replaced the points, condenser and coil and the rotor, cap and plugs are a year old. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
@@ClaremontClassicGarage Thank you sir, I took a closer look at my wires which were only a year old but they were the culprit, corroded and nasty, cleaned them up and all good. Thanks
We all know the term "Horse Whisperer", I think Kevin is becoming a Ferguson Tractor Whisperer. Nicely done, sad to think those carbonator rebuild kits need to be rebuilt to get them to work. ( I was wondering about worn bushings on the distributor, wrong side of tractor.)
Hey Kevin I not sure if you forgot to video the thermostat segment or if I missed it but I don’t know anything about Ferguson tractors except some were made with English engines and some had American engines but did the inline thermostat work I was quite curious about the and I just wanted you to know I was cheering for you 😂
Inline thermostat shoves up into the hose same like a N series Ford. Thats on the Continentals. On the fergs with a Standard engine they use a normal car thermostat in the head.
@@ClaremontClassicGarage Thanks Kevin always appreciate learning something new and I am really happy to your channel is growing among other benefits I would say your helping others with their tractors and the inevitable troubles people come across that enjoy old iron!🇨🇦😀Carry on Canada
I have a Ford 8n with a similar problem with the engine stumbling on acceleration or high RPM. When I open the choke half way it runs pretty good. I am wondering if someone rebuilt the carburetor and used a new main nozzle with the holes too small. Do you know what size the holes were for the one you found that ran well?
I didn't measure them, but they were definitely bigger. have you tried adjusting the power screw? The float level is also very important to get the mains to pick up as it doesn't have an accelerator pump.
@@vendter OK. Sounds like something is plugged up or at least restricted. It may have to soak in carburetor cleaner for a day or two. Also make sure the faces of the upper and lower castings are true.

Thanks for watching!
This is exactly what my TO-20 is doing. I'll check all this.

I would look at something electrical. You possibly have a bad connection somewhere. The ignition switch would be a good place to start checking

@@vincemarinaccio247 Glad its up and running again!
This is a great video. My to30 will not start and these 3 videos gave me great info.
Glad it helps, Thanks for watching.
Great job. A lot of fun watching you figure it out.😊
It was a challenge. Darned little thing.
Another great video and thank you kindly.
Thanks Carey!

It was quite a journey on this one!
That was challenging!
What a silly old thing.

@@ClaremontClassicGarage The power screw doesn't do much of anything from 1/4 turn to 4 turns. I have the float set at 1/4".
