Never knew 20's had footplates.
20s didn't have footplates then in about mid 1960s they had to be fitted along with pull to stop lable on stop control and up down decal on the hydraulic handle. Then in the early 1970s a roll bar had to be fitted if you were paying anyone to drive it..that still is the case to this day. This was early health and safety.

So the Fergie has been back running now for 8 months and runs like a dream, starts first time and has regular use.
Question for the collective, I run a paddock maintenance business mostly off the back of the quad bike with a ATV topper etc, however the topper isn't quite manly enough for bracken and thick weeds so i'm thinking of getting a proper heavy duty flail topper, the ATV ones are silly money but what width and size could the TEF20 manage? I have a 12ft Ifor trailer to move everything about with so limited to 6ft width

They will drop but you can extend the link arm pegs and have a frame that engages them when not in use, it will all stay up then, not sure what the bracket is called but have seen quite a few at ploughing matches, it is or certainly seems like a Fergie part. Overun as mentioned needed.
A friend regularly uses a topper on his, he sometimes gets on here so may comment, failing that I will ask him how he does it.

Never seen that linkage
I have just tried to see if I can find an image on google but no joy, it is a frame that fixes onto the top of each trumpet using the long pin (lower pin on the load sensing quadrant, the one that goes through the quadrant and the top link connects just above it) almost like an H shaped frame that you can rotate fore and aft, this then engages on lengthened pins (the ones that connect the knuckles to the lift rods, the horizontal ones) You raise the implement and then the pins latch into the frame when you lower it slightly, then when you wish to use the implement, you lift it and then move the H frame forward I think so it does not catch on the pins when in work, it is quite a clever design and have seen quite a few with it on at ploughing matches.
