Its a TEF20 , Sorry , what else do you think the decompression lever is for , just so you know this way it leves diesel in the cylinders , ready for the next time your start it , yes, you can use the fuel cut off lever , but I prefere to leve the pump charged , thanks for your comment ,
Yes Sir, I would , Ive used this way for years , and it is the way most of the older engines where stop , even old motorcycles had a decomp lever , what happens is it just lowers the compression , so the engine hasent enough compression to firer the fuel , so the fuel tends to sit in the cylinder , helps stop the cylinders from rusting and stops the piston rings from locking up in there groves, if the tractor is not used all the time , I have a website put 1260engineer into google ,
The ferguson TEF manual states that the decompression lever must only be used to stop the engine in an emergency.
Also, the injectorpump will stay just as primed using the cutoff lever as that only resets the amount of fuel to zero. Unlike a DPA pump that does not starve the pump it just sets the cut-slot in the plungers in line with the fill or charge hole so no pressure is produced

@engineer1260 you are more likely to have diesel leak into the oil that way. the decompressor is for starting with a handle

Dear engineer,
The ferguson TEF manual states that the decompression lever must only be used to stop the engine in an emergency.
Also, the injectorpump will stay just as primed using the cutoff lever as that only resets the amount of fuel to zero. Unlike a DPA pump that does not starve the pump it just sets the cut-slot in the plungers in line with the fill or charge hole so no pressure is produced

Just wondering why you named it "Fred". I would have named it "Ted" or "Old Bluey".
