I drove every day a 63 T20 petrol /Tvo from the age of eleven until 21 years old. Brillian little tractor, start all weather's and very few problems, main snag was having to drain the bowl each day to get petrol to start it. Yours looks in pretty good shape. I'd never seen a purpose loader for It as we had one on the Massey 35 which was also a brilliant workhorse. Nice to see these being used for what they were built for rather than show pieces.
Hope you've kept it not everyone can get there hands on such great pieces of history ,they were engineered well .thanks for showing i love mine .along with me dexta subd
It aint a diff lock, the tractor has an independant brake lever on each side to enable sharper turning capability and they also enable you to stop the wheel spinning if you get stuck in mud. My father had a new diesel model 1954/55 with the same model of F.E.L. The Diesel had two 6V batteries mounted one on each side by the rear wheel guards. The 4 pot engine was supplied by the Standard Motor Co.
If you were to remove the pick up hitch unit for a 3 point linkage implement the loader will not work. The rear lift arms have to be locked in place for the loader to work. Useful to know. This is the early petrol version before they went on to the TVO (tractor vaporizing oil) model with the double tank. This was made by the Standard Motor Company. The engine is the same as a vanguard car.
Nice looking tractor with the MIL (Midlands Industry Limited) loader. Originally all of the TE20's had a down-swept exhaust from the factory, the upright exhaust was a dealers option which was a good idea when making hay or when the ferguson saw bench was attached to eliminate being gassed by the fumes. All of the TE range were 6V until the end of 1953 when they converted to 12V when they changed to the 85mm bore engine, as with most of them people started to convert them to12V by replacing the coil, condenser, regulator and ignition light but keeping the longer type 6V starter motor which is evident on yours.
+Ferguson TE20 james Thanks, you seem very knowledgeable on these. Looks like you have a few. I'm completely new to these and hope to get to know some of the history. Dont know why but I prefer the look of the upright exhaust!
+Drift Spec yes but I've know ideas what it's registration mark is. From what I've read looks like I need to send various numbers and photos of to determine if it has ever been registered then I can go about wither claiming it's original number or getting it registered
Pto should nt be going round at all when you are sat on seat they is a leaver lower down to disange pto the pedals on either side are differential brakes as i had a two one when i was young i come from farming back ground also no live drive on pto either like the 35 and 35x
The PTO had to be engaged to operated the hydraulic pump on these tractors. When the MHF 35 came out the hydraulic pump ran continuously without the need to engage the PTO
To my knowledge, the exhaust on a TEA, like the TED, should run under the right hand rear wheel and out the back of the machine. Great condition thought, you've found a good one, especially for the age!!
@@outdoorgorilla1493 that was a good buy. These can change hands for 3 times that in good Nick. If I remember right my father paid about £600 for ours in 1967 .
Starts great and it is not a bad looking tractor

Love it
The two peddles are you steering brakes that tractor doesn’t have diff lock
Spent my summers on one like that
Please get a cover for the PTO....
NICE👍
Please can you post a video on how to drive one of these bad boys please? I am strongly considering purchasing this thank you
Did u find a video showing?
its an old 6v needs a tune good thing
The two pedals one each side near the wheels are turning brake pedals
if one starts spinning when your pulling something, press the brake on that wheel thats spinning and the other wheel will grab and chug you along
@@johndowe7003 ^^ Manual Limited Slip Diff.
@@ToreDL87 yeah you can say that
The black bit on the rear end is the number plate , you just need to paint it on with white paint again
And whenever you are a starting a would advise putting the clutch in
+Drift Spec yes but I've know ideas what it's registration mark is. From what I've read looks like I need to send various numbers and photos of to determine if it has ever been registered then I can go about wither claiming it's original number or getting it registered
How does the hydraulic system work like where does it go I was trying to watch but you move Cramer so fast I could catch how
ya please show how this is hooked up

Hey does andone know the 2 pac code for the Ferguson
Some of them had two six volt batteries
Yes, TEF20s definitely had 02 6 Volts.
To my knowledge, the exhaust on a TEA, like the TED, should run under the right hand rear wheel and out the back of the machine.

thanks, quite possibly the exhaust is new so maybe it was cheaper to replace than an original setup

+Harry IOM thanks, quite possibly the exhaust is new and it was probably cheaper to replace than an original system
An idiots opinion , more than likely yes, there are many more later diesel parts i.e. manifold elbow so its very possible they were cheaper
Please tell me that Duster isnt yours 😧
How much was it ?
£1200 if I remember right
@@outdoorgorilla1493 that was a good buy. These can change hands for 3 times that in good Nick. If I remember right my father paid about £600 for ours in 1967 .
Purchased my 51 last year 2500 us with many assorted attachments off the original owner
No diff.lock on those tractors, steering brakes left and right.
What is it worth
Here in America in Iowa, I paid 1750 for mine, with a front scoop loader on it.
