Hey Fellers, I remember a discussion a few weeks back about some of the 35's not having a fuel gage. Yesterday I had the sediment bowl off of mine. I think it may be original equipment, there are two fuel delivery tubes that stick up in the tank above the bowl. One tube the (Main) is about two inches long the other (reserve) is about an inch long. Printed on the round valve knob are instructions (2 turns -Main) (full open- Reserve). I gather if you were work"n out on the back forty and she sputtered all you had to do was open up the valve and head for the barn. Ol' Harry thought of everthing.

Harry may have borrowed it too, just like Henry. Volkswagen car had a reserve.

You are correct, "officially" produced to 1948, however as has been posted on this forum there were Continental engine TE20s produced alongside Standard engine TEA20s well after the last "official" TE20 serial number. I think there was a post on this forum a few months ago confirming a TE20 was produced well into 1949.

Hi Bob (Aust)
The serial number on my Fergie is 289673 and when I searched a number of web pages to find out the year and model the best I could come up with is model TE20 made in 1952. I am not an expert but I believe there is not a very big difference between the TE20 and the TEA20. Am I correct? If you have more precise information according to the serial number please let me know.

Thanks,
Ross

I have experienced the same problem lately . What I found was the long tube ,the main was completely clean BUT the short tube, Reserve gas supply was completely pluged with 50 years of rust and settement. I had to take a small drill bit and screw it in by hand and pull it out a little at a time till it was open. Be sure to take the stem out of the valve while doing this so you can see when the drill reaches the valve. This thing was really pluged up . I always wondered why I would run ot of gas and still have so much still in the tank!

Convert. If manufactured in 1952 you must have a TEA20, not a TE20??? (TE20 with Continental engine production ceased around 1947.)

I think the original fuel bowl/shut off tap in the TEA20 had a "T" shaped shut off knob, whilst the non genuine replacements available in Australia have a round knob.

My experience, the original shut off valve had a tendency to leak due to valve shaft and seal wear.
I traced a leak in what I thought was the shut off valve in my TEA20 fuel tank, only to discover the leak was not in the valve/fuel bowl, but small pin hole leaks in the bottom of the tank near the fuel bowl, where the tank had rusted through. I bought a new replacement tank and fuel bowl - no more leaks.

I do not think production of TE 20 ceased in "47, as my TE 20 was built in 1948, according to the serial number - TE28383.
Correct?

Hello
I just bought my second Fergie 4 years after having to sell my first one. It is a model TE20 made in 1952. After getting it home and putting it in the garage I noticed that there was a leak at that valve you mentioned that says turn two turns etc. I took it apart and cleaned the sediment bowl and then took the valve assembly apart and cleaned everything. I have not yet put any gas back in the tank but I hope there is no more leak. The seal on the sediment bowl is clean and in good shape so I don't understand where the leak cold have come from. Any thoughts? I am waiting for a manual that I ordered and I want also to replace the grease cups as they are all split and would leak grease. Can hardly wait to put everything back together and go for a ride.
