Hmmm.
I don’t know really. I think he mentioned it having a small tank for lamp oil. Would that mean it was a diesel? I am afraid I can’t be more specific at the moment. I can have a look and take some pictures some time. |

Cheers, but are you saying paraffin instead of lamp oil, or instead of diesel?
He did invest in a diesel tank and pump for red diesel for the tractors, but can’t remember if this was before or after buying the 2nd tractor. Reminds me I need to see how much red diesel is left? |

Hi Bob,
I've just seen your post and wonder if I could offer my assistance. For my day job, I work for a well known international motoring auction house valuing and consigning vehicles to auction. I would be more than happy to have a chat and see if I could help in any way. Phil 07710 615868 |

I meant paraffin instead of diesel, I would have guessed that the tank was for the later tractor. It's only an opinion though mate. Good luck with the sale 04' 90 Td5 CSW..

It will be a diesel if it has the small auxiliary tank. |

Thanks to everyone for all the kind thoughts. And thanks for the interest.
Just a quick re-iteration of the reason for the advert. If you are interested in any particular vehicle let me know what you would like to know and see more photos of. They will all need to be cleared in the next 6 months, so they are at clearance prices. Many thanks. Bob |

Split fuel tank with a small auxiliary tank and large main tank on a Fergie usually indicates a TVO or Lamp oil engine.
If it has a single main tank and a very small separate cylindrical fuel tank connected to a Ki Gas pump, then it should be a diesel. The small tank on a split tank Fergie should contain petrol, with the larger tank holding TVO or Lamp Oil. Engine started from cold on petrol, then switched over to TVO or Lamp Oil when warmed up. Not sure if TVO and Lamp Oil versions had different compression ratios and/or manifolds. I think most UK originals were meant to run on TVO. I used to mix my own TVO when I had my grey Fergie. 50/50 petrol/kerosene in a jerry can, with around 1/8 pint of engine oil for good measure. Irrespective of tank configuration though it may have been converted to a diesel at some point!! |

I'd be interested to know what tractor PTO attachments you have, I might be interested in taking them all.
