Cracking episode guys, that piston was not playing. Being ex military I was half expecting a grenade going into number 4 hole 😂😂 Great banter between you two, though I’m surprised Gav can still hear when Jimmy goes into full excited mode 😂😂.
I know it's to late but I once witnessed a guy unseize pistons by pouring boiling oil into the cylinder's no one believed it would work. It did 🤔👍 Great episode by the way 👍👍
Find a 2 legged puller, pop it accross two studs and use the centre screw on the piston with a piece of aluminum to protect the top of the piston. Put hot water in the block. Fold a rag to fit in the piston, soak it in water and freeze it, once frozen, pop it on top of the piston. If that doesn't work, free the valves up in the head and re assemble without the pushrods. Use a compression test adapter to pressure the pressure the cylinders, you can either use a grease gun or hydraulic jack.
@@montydog0 where abouts are you? I've got another idea id like to experiment with. I'd find a hydraulic ram piston and seal set of the same bore as your engine. I'd machine some channels internally to allow a pumped supply of chilled water to circulate and thus cool the piston down. I'd drill and tap another hole straight through and plumb that to a hydraulic jack. I'd use the jack to pump something like WD-40 at high pressure to force it through the rings and break the bond between the piston and cylinder. I'd then use a puller on top to hold it all in place. The advantage of this setup is that it could be left for a few days to do it's thing.
Loving this guys, three was a little Fergie like this on the famly farm in the 80s. Happy memories of haymaking and the smell of diesel, oild and dusty grass
Well done Guys reminds me of my old days with my Dad, the amount of pistons and sleeves we put in were amazing, he had a Private Hire Firm my first job at the age of fourteen was total engine out and rebuild Land Rover 1954 so i feel for you Guys, but in the end its going to be so worth while keep at it. Great shows by the way.
Love the way you are filming and presenting this. The reflective shots focussing on the countryside and antique furnishings are fabulous. Please keep it up.
You always have to replace at least two liners next to each other because they use spectacle gaskets that cover two liners. Removing one only can loosen the gasket on the one next to it
Great work ☺️ I thought the hammer that split the wooden drift was a little "optimistic" 😅 I think I would've gone straight to the biggest BFH I could lay my hands on!! Seeing the crankshaft pulley reminded me of my own efforts shifting one off an L series Rover; that was bad enough, and was bending a 6 foot scaffold pole before it came off with a bang. It certainly hadn't been sitting in a hedge for 3 decades either! Great effort 👍
I can hardly wait for Episode 3, 4, 5, 6...! Seriously, I've learned a lot from these. Where did you ever find that wonderful old-time string band music of "The Jolenes"? Hard to believe that's a UK group, as that music originated in my area. Cheers from scenic Northeast Tennessee!
Hell that took some getting out! They can be a bugger to put together with the crankshaft in - as the big end is too big to go through the liner as you said - and piston is too big to pass the crankshaft! What’s your plan?
Prefer the P3 cylinder Perkins to the 4 cylinder Perkins good engine. It help if she been full of water lol.😂 Try Kero and gear oil on the pistons mixed of course. Nice one Guy's cracking entertainment.
Hi jimmy! Your fergie is coming along nicely. I to have a tef20 and am making videos. Would you ever want to collaborate on something ? When corona have calmed down obviously
Have solved that Problem with Marine Diesels many times.....with a few Mls. of diesel poured on the top pf the Piston....then ..outside the building ....heat up the whole block with 2 or More Electric Heat Guns..not on the Piston Tops but on the sides of the Engine Block. as soon as the Diesel begins Vapourising..pour more hot fuel in .. then turn the Crank with a small Spanner/Ratchet placed on the Crank Pulley Bolt.. Stilsons will make the Seizure worse.
Much better without the lockdown hair covering! The music is growing on me. Why didn’t you drop the crank? You will need new bearing shells looking at the crap in the sump, and possibly a regrind too..
I guess in answer to your question; unlike a normal full restoration where we would do a complete strip down straight away, we are trying to go on a journey just to see where it takes us, and carry out the minimum amount of restoration to get her running again. For me this is a fun and refreshing way to tackle a project where the intention is to explore what is possible to salvage, even if it raises discussion, rather than diving straight into a full rebuild as we would normally. Stay tuned to see how bad it does get though😉 thanks for watching
Maybe I missed that explanation of what you wanted to do in he first episode. I know the tractor will not be worth a great deal when completed so your approach is understandable.
As Content Editor of Ferguson Furrows magazine put out by Ferguson Enthusiasts of North America, I am thoroughly enjoying your episodes, and look forward to #3. I think your endeavors are well worth the effort for those watching, and perhaps making a go at their own restorations. I'd love to do an article on you for the magazine. You can contact me at jkitson@canyoncountry.net if you are interested.
Piston 4! What a xxxx! Can't wait for episode 3!
Yep, that’s exactly what I called it!! 🤣 Thanks for watching👍
Out thoughts exactly! Same time next week!
Cracking episode guys, that piston was not playing. Being ex military I was half expecting a grenade going into number 4 hole 😂😂 Great banter between you two, though I’m surprised Gav can still hear when Jimmy goes into full excited mode 😂😂.
I can't help it Tony!
Thanks Tony, can’t beat a bit of banter when the going gets tough. Thanks for your support. 👍
I can relate to your work method. If it won't shift have a cup of tea. Then come back with a bigger hammer.
That's the way to do it!
Finally got to see the 1st 2 episodes. Looked like allot hard work but also a whole lot of fun too.
You are not wrong! I hope you enjoyed it?
@@Torquestamiya I did.
Just got a 1953 tef 20. My son inherited it from his late grand father. Luckily its a runner has already earned its keep working a log splitter.
Great to hear, they are a lovely machine!
I know it's to late but I once witnessed a guy unseize pistons by pouring boiling oil into the cylinder's no one believed it would work. It did 🤔👍 Great episode by the way 👍👍
I'd love to try that one day. Interesting tip!
Definitely need to try that, thanks
Great mini series jimmy
Thanks Andy! Please help spread the word!

Now there is some great tips to try. Great stuff!
I’ve got a seized Triumph, so I’ll give it a try on that for sure, cheers

Good job guys I was 10 when I started rebuilding my 1956 Tef diesel I have 10 nw all diesels enjoy guys

great video guys, there's hope for her yet
Fingers crossed!
Love the way you are filming and presenting this. The reflective shots focussing on the countryside and antique furnishings are fabulous. Please keep it up.
Thank you, really nice to hear that you get it and are enjoying it.
Steel toe cap flip flops 😂😂😂😂
Gav always gets going before I've changed, easily drawn in!

Lovely to hear about your L series! Clearly we are gentle soles hahaha
Great update, perseverance paid off, well done ! Surprised you are not going for crank regrind ! Looking forwards to next instalment 👏👏
Standby for episode 3!
Yep, we definitely “crank” things up in EP3......sorry couldn’t resist!
Gav Jackson 🙈🙈😂
Awesome!!
Thank you very much. 👍
Top stuff chaps!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching. Appreciated.
that was a tough one. Well done
Thanks!
I’m still sweating 😅 thanks for watching
@@montydog0 so was I and I was only watching you
Keep the great videos up Jimmy.
Thanks!
Another great episode, chaps.
Thanks! Same time next week?
@@Torquestamiya Absolutely. 🙂
Thanks Stuart
Great stuff.
Thank You!
Cheers Peter
nice job you guys work well together hope you will do more after the tractor is done
We hope so too Ron.
It’s great fun. We’ve got a few ideas for the future, stay tuned. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks jimmy for any information
My god that was hard work for you both ! But a great job done ✅
She's a fighter!
I think she’s starting to warm to us now though.....maybe!
As frustrating as this was for you, really enjoyed the episode. Looking forward to the next gents, patience and tooling permitting :)
Thanks, we really appreciate that .
Great episode! I didn't go that far with mine. I think a 🍻 is needed over a brew after that fight!
Agreed!
@@Torquestamiya give me a shout if you need a hand. Us ex forces types need to stick together
@@benpowell8945 Appreciated Ben!
Cheers Ben, Deffo needed a cold one after all that shenanigans.
@@montydog0 would love to get involved with this project
Big Love Gav! Long time no see. Great videos mate hope you are well? from "Biggun" ex 9sqn liney.
Eh up Biggun, nice to hear from you old chap. Hope you are well mate. 👍
Nice one chaps, really enjoying the watch. Love the music, straight from Fordham!!
Thanks for your support, everyone needs to get their hick on!
Great work chaps loving it!

Thanks for watching David, glad you’re enjoying the music as well, hope you’ll be able to join us for Ep3 on Thursday, same time. 👍
Love the show guys, can't wait for the next episode! One question I have though, you guys heard of a hoover?
Thank you for the support! Yes! other vacuum operated machines are also available too, not that we use one.
Hell that took some getting out! They can be a bugger to put together with the crankshaft in - as the big end is too big to go through the liner as you said - and piston is too big to pass the crankshaft! What’s your plan?
Episode 3 has a big surprise in store!
Jimmy de Ville's Garage a bigger hammer? Haha
The plan changes frequently!!!!😂
Gav Jackson I used a ring compressor, a zip tie, the shaft of a hammer and 4 hands... it’s easy once you’ve cracked the technique! 😂
Cheers. I enjoyed that instalment. Have you not got the music credits? Good choice of background music 🎶
The music credits are at the end, I hope?
Prefer the P3 cylinder Perkins to the 4 cylinder Perkins good engine. It help if she been full of water lol.😂 Try Kero and gear oil on the pistons mixed of course. Nice one Guy's cracking entertainment.
This is a Standard 20C. We love a Perkins!
@@Torquestamiya Yeah Perkins run for ever. 👍👍
Hi jimmy! Your fergie is coming along nicely. I to have a tef20 and am making videos. Would you ever want to collaborate on something ? When corona have calmed down obviously
I've watched one of your videos Sam, I'd be great to have you along one day!
@@Torquestamiya Definitely! i will send you a message on Facebook as i believe we are in a tractor group together.
Good hello I need those top rings
Soak with 100%acetone mixed 50/50 with automatic trans fluid. Let soak.
That sounds like a serious mixture!
Have solved that Problem with Marine Diesels many times.....with a few Mls. of diesel poured on the top pf the Piston....then ..outside the building ....heat up the whole block with 2 or More Electric Heat Guns..not on the Piston Tops but on the sides of the Engine Block.

then turn the Crank with a small Spanner/Ratchet placed on the Crank Pulley Bolt..
Stilsons will make the Seizure worse.
Sounds interesting. Thanks!
Split it turn upside down get crank out then pistons rods sleeves
Es pare x made them ?
done that myself , but i used a sledge hammer and let the pistons soak in rust remover
Much better without the lockdown hair covering! The music is growing on me.

What’s happened to Goblin Works?
Hopefully more in the pipe line.
Have you tried WD40
Yes.. it didn't work.
I did once, it tastes horrible!
Jimmy de Ville's Garage I’m not talking about the piston, I meant for beard oil

Pit you had to destroy a piston 😢😥😢
Sadly the cost of 31 years in a hedge.
