Whichever u do don't forget if u don't have live power u should have a runaway clutch on the PTO to keep it from shoving u through the fence, over a bank, into a pond. Yep it happens.
I've got an ORC for it. The whole tractor is a bad design really, I just enjoy fooling with it.
It was a brilliant design actually by Ferguson, the first 3 point linkage and power take off that all modern tractors have followed on from. Understandably there have been a few refinements down the track. The fact that yours is still operating well is testament to the design. I have a post war Ferguson Te20 that I still use regularly, I find it very handy for putting out a bit of urea in the conical spreader, handles like a sports car.
