Afternoon everyone. I was reading a few posts here this morning on different makes and models of Ferguson Tractors. I have heard guys refer to there Fergusons as TEA-2085. I own a 1952 TEA, Im pretty sure its a 2085, Can someone out there tell me what the 2085 stands for. The serial number starts with 289, (the last part of the serial number is written down at home) Can you tell Im bored while I sit and wait to see what happens to my Fergy and the timing chain incident, ( stay tuned on that one, beleave it or not, Im going to tackle that issue MYSELF this weekend ). With all the encouragement from you guys here I think I can fix the timing chain myself. Thanks to you all

Hey Barry, 2085 means a TEA20 with 85mm pistons. Earlier ones had 80 mm pistons so were called 2080s. I am not sure but think these were really nicknames that stuck, rather than official Ferguson names.
Yours is definitely late enough that it's a 2085; in good shape that means it's a whopping 28 horsepower.
Way to go on trying the timing chain yourself! Here is a tip - you don't need to bother taking the two outer sections off the axle; the whole thing including wheels can be removed as an assembly, but it's mighty heavy and can flop over easily and bust your foot, so be prepared for that. Once that's done you're into the lighter part of the job. Careful with the rad.
Jim

Good Morning Jim and Glen
Thanks for your response and tips on the timing chain. Wow, thats not bad Glen for a price of a new chain. I always wondered about the horsepower. I own 100 acers mostly bush and scrub land, no viable workland at all. I burn wood and this little gem has always pull out my trees when cutting wood for next season. Lots of power. She looks so lonley just sitting there in my drive way. But if everything works out I should have her running by Sunday. I talked to my local Ferguson dealer and he says that any and all the parts that I need he has in stock. There only 1 mile from me. Stay tuned and again thanks

Hi Barry
Was looking for you to drop by this week - what happened??

Looks like the weather is going to cooperate for your repair undertaking - Saturday is supposed to be sunny.

Good luck on this mechanical adventure - I bet you will be even happier when it is fixed and you can say "I did it!!"

Bob

Hi Barry I have been told it is better to change the gears at the same time as the timeing chain I have also told changing just the chain is good enough as long as the gears are not too bad myself I put a new chain on it cost 22$ with tax from my freind in Montreal .If you do it your self you will need a inch and a half socket to remove the nut on the pully good luck and have fun

Just check the teeth on the chain sprockets, if they are not worn or damaged they will be fine, no need to change them. Sometimes when a weight comes off they jam in between the chain and the sprocket, damaging the teeth, then you should really change them, but if it isnt too bad you can file the tooth or teeth back to shape if you are really stuck and get going again.(bad engineering I know but if its urgent you do what you have to do)
