All TE20 tractors were built with US made Continental engines. No TE20 tractor had a Standard engine as the Standard engine was not avalable. All TEA20 series tractors were built with UK made Standard gasoline or diesel engines. This may help to explain: TE-20 Continental Z-120 petrol engine 1946-1948 TEA-20 Standard Motor Company petrol engine 1947-1956 TEB-20 Continental Z-120 petrol engine - Narrow wheelbase 1946-1948 TEC-20 Standard petrol - Narrow 1948-1956 TED-20 TVO 1949-1956 TEE-20 TVO - Narrow 1949-1956 TEF-20 diesel 1951-1956 TEH-20 lamp oil engine 1950-1956 TEJ-20 lamp oil engine - Narrow 1950-1956 TEK-20 petrol - Vineyard 1952-1956 TEL-20 TVO - Vineyard 1952-1956 TEM-20 lamp oil - Vineyard 1952-1956 TEP-20 petrol - Industrial 1952-1956 TER-20 TVO - Industrial 1952-1956 TES-20 lamp oil - Industrial 1952-1956 TET-20 Diesel - Industrial 1952-1956 The Standard engine, developed for the Standard Vanguard car, did not become available until the Vanguard car was developed and built in late 1947. There was a brief period in 1947/48 when both Continental and Standard engine tractors were built concurrently. This post was edited by Bob (Aust) at 18:49:16 09/29/12 5 times. [Reply]   [No Email]
