Ferguson On the Farm Service Unit

Ferguson On the Farm Service Unit
I don't know very much about this item so I'm asking you, the experts. I do have two manuals that came with the unit and it looks like it was bought new in June of 1952.

I would be interested in selling the unit if I can determine how to put a value on it.

Is green the original color?

I would be thankful for any information you could offer and glad to answer any questions you may have.

The unit you have was used on on-the-farm analysis and maintenance of Ferguson tractors. I would be interested in buying your unit if you can establish a price.

I have listed this item on eBay.

Let me play with the unit for a while and do some more research. I’ll give you a price the first of the year.

I will however entertain offers. The unit is in SW-VA. Where in the world are you?

Thanks,

I have listed this item on eBay.

I'm in Iowa so the distance might be a challenge. I honestly have no idea what such a unit is worth. Obviously, a lot depends on the condition. I have seen a couple of these units before but never had opportunity to visit with the owners to find out more about them.

I will follow up these posts after a few more weeks of research regarding anything else I have learned and my thoughts on selling the unit.

Thanks Again,
Shawn

OK, to take my post a step further. I was told that it had a gas engine at one time but it is no longer on the unit.

The unit was shipped with the following Accessories:
Timing Light Sun Model X
Dwell Techometer Model CB-14
Voltometer & Ampmeter Model GA-16
Vacuum Tester Model Q
Compression Tester Model P
Spark Plug Adapter 14MM
Vixen Spark Cleaner
Schrader Air & Water Tire Gauge Model 9350
Hand Tachometer Jones Motorola
2800-K Paint Spray Gun & Cup
25’ Air Hose
Tire Adapter
And a Blow Gun

I don’t know how many of the accessories have made the 50-year trip intact. I have not had this unit long and I am just starting my research. My first rule is “Do No Harm” so I’m taking it slow.

Once again I am thankful for any information you can offer and glad to answer any questions you may have

Thanks,

You may be closer than you think. The manual has the setting that you would use for tuning all kinds of strange things like Austin, DeSoto, Nash, Kaiser, Packard, Reo, Studebaker and so-on, nothing after 1951 though.

I don’t see Triumph but I’ll bet there is a conversion chart somewhere;-)

Thanks Again,
Shawn
