Ferguson Tractor Jack

Great video , I served my time with my father in the sixtys and seventys changing wheel widths all year round from beet drills @ 24 inch to turnip drills @ 26 inch to potato drills @ 28 inch , the drills were made and sown the were grubbed for weeding then the potatos were earthed up then spraying was done ,the beet and turnips for the fly and the potatoes for blight  ,all in all i suppose wheel widths were changed twenty times a year and the jack shown in video was used , it brings it all back to me thanks for that  later on we got a couple more tractors so they could be left at a different setting each . Thanks again because it is the only memory of my late father that i can look back on with nostalga  

Have done this with my 35 diesel. Only trouble I had was to find a bit of hard flat ground. This is important. Thanks for video.

Great to see how this works. The function and simplicity is awesome like so many things about Ford’s and Ferguson’s machinery.

I think it's great. I got one with my to30 and didn't know how it worked till now. Much mor stable than a car jack

Simply and ingenious!

Just got myself one on eBay. Can't wait to try it out.

I have the same jack with the hollow tube but I also got hold of a solid rear bar one that I show on my gold 35 petrol sometimes. We will be starting a full restoration on a 1948 TEA20 over the next month or two and we will do a series on it on my channel. I just finished a John Deere 420H so time for the next one.

For those that don't know these were used mostly for changing wheel widths for row crops or steep hills. Spin the rear wheels around to go wider and then slide the front axles outwards or inwards for desired width. Ford sold these too with their 8N tractors.

Looks like a nice original jack. Might be a little hard to setup. Probably why not too many people bought that optional accessory. I wondered why there's extra pins under there. I figured they were for some sort of belly mower or something. I can't using it on soft ground.

the lift was made by ferguson to lift just a specific tractor.part of the feguson system. My grand father had one and what a machine. it was used for everything. wore out and rebuilt many times.

Ingenious . Leo

very handy useful device!!

This was used by farmers when they had to adjust the widths of the wheels for different row cropping applications. They would use this jack and adjust them all at once.

make it easy to change the tires.Nice keep up the good work.

Wow Looks Great,

Great jack it would be nice if you posted pictures of it with measurements thank you

I have a chance to buy one of these but hesitate because If using this to actually Change a Tire or work on the tractor brakes etc. , wouldn't the weight shift when you remove one wheel and cause it to be very unstable? I love the mechanics and think it's an ingenius device but not convinced it is safe, especially on soft ground.

I want one for my John Deere 60!

And yes, I've also got a heavy trolley jack, heavy axle stands and jackalls . . . but so what!  This is a cool rig.
