ENGINE DETAIL

The Ferguson Pony tractor's Continental N62 engine features a compact 1.0L displacement with a low compression ratio of 6.5:1, optimizing it for reliable operation on lower-quality fuels, but limiting power output. Its oil bath air cleaner enhances filtration efficiency, suitable for dusty environments, while the 1800 RPM rated engine speed provides moderate power for light agricultural tasks. Challenges may include limited aftermarket support due to its age and potential difficulty in sourcing specific parts like the Champion 18625A spark plug, which necessitates careful maintenance practices.

FERGUSON PONY ENGINE

The Ferguson Pony is powered by a Continental 1.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offering moderate horsepower ideal for light agricultural tasks and gardening. Its compact size enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for smaller farms or hobbyists. However, the limited power output may pose challenges for heavy-duty applications or larger implements, requiring careful consideration of operational requirements.

TRANSMISSION

The Ferguson Pony tractor features an unsynchronized gear transmission with three forward and one reverse gear, which may challenge smooth shifting, especially in demanding conditions. Its mechanical dry disc clutch provides a straightforward maintenance profile but can wear quicker under heavy loads due to insufficient damping. With an oil capacity of 3.6 quarts (3.4 liters), regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal gearbox lubrication and performance, mitigating potential overheating issues.

MECHANICAL

The Ferguson Pony tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis that offers simplicity and ease of maintenance but may limit off-road capabilities compared to 4WD models. Its unsynchronized 3-speed transmission allows for basic speed variation, although gear shifting requires careful timing. The open operator station provides good visibility but lacks weather protection, making it less suitable for harsh conditions.

FERGUSON PONY TIRES

The Ferguson Pony tractor features agricultural front wheels (4.00x-15) and larger rear wheels (9-24), which enhances traction and stability in a variety of terrain and applications. This configuration allows for efficient power transfer, particularly beneficial for small-scale farming and light-duty tasks. However, the smaller front wheels may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces, presenting a challenge when navigating around obstacles.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Ferguson Pony tractor features a compact wheelbase of 66 inches, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for small farms or garden plots. Weighing between 1450 to 1890 pounds, it offers a favorable power-to-weight ratio for light to moderate tasks but may struggle with heavy towing. The tire specifications (front: 4.00x-15; rear: 8-24) indicate a balanced setup for traction and stability, though rear tire size limits its digging capabilities in loose soil conditions.
