Heard Harry Ferguson did this with a dry engine sump to avoid any oil problem due to the angle of descent,he calculated the running time and was confident no pickup would occur in that time scale leaving nothing to chance with the worlds press out side,top man.Is this hearsay or can anyone verify,great board been reading for months TED-20 owner hopefully starting full rebuild this year with your help.

I think that you will find that there was no oil in the Rear Axle and Hydraulics, not the engine. The engine would be able to cope with anything they can throw at it regarding angles of operation. The tractor they used the first time was a TEA standard width model and it was just too wide to go through the doors inside from the Ballroom so they removed the trumpet housing on one side and manhandled it out, well in and out actually but it was assembled and ran around inside too. This time when they did it they used a narrow TVO (TEE)version which is just that bit narrower than the standard width (4"6" against 5"4"), they didn"t make one of these the first time around.

John,

I do not know the actual dates, however, if this stunt was held 60 years ago in 1946, then youn it not have to be a TE-20 as the Standard Motor was not available until Mid year 1947?

Jeff

a mere slip of the finger on the keyboard, it was a TE20 and it is shown on all the Photographs as that. The first production TEA was Sept. 1947 but they had them around before that.
