hi i am also a newbie to tractors ,I have a tea 20 told it was a 1956 ser# 44 331 cant make out 3rd number .
My tractor is red all picks i have seen are grey,does anyone else have one ? I live in Canada
 
Thanks for that link & info. I was thinking it was not a tea ,but it looks like it from all the pictures i have seen &the previous owner gave me all the manuals with it. he rebuilt the transmission & carb. I have the brakes & hydraulic lift to do ,i want to get the right parts
 

Don't paint it Stoneleigh Grey like I did :oops:

It's far too dark and is a colour used on much later tractors . There are many shades of grey , more than 50 :lol: that suit . Generally these are of the light to mid range , almost a half strength Stoneleigh .
 
I agree on not going with the dark grey. I have two TO30's in Massey grey, way too dark. I found a source for the true vintage Ferguson grey
that has the tinge of blue to it and it looks great.

This is not Ferguson grey. It is Rustoleum aluminum.
When I was a kid, it seemed every fergie was more a silver than grey, compare to Fords, that were always a grey.
An old dealer told me as worn fergies went in for an overhaul, an MF dealer would most likely repaint with MF flint or stone than the HF paint. It ain't right, but I've had no complaints yet, but more than a few compliments... oh, the aluminum castings in this Canadian TEA 20-85 I left natural and just clear coated them.
 
Ok so apparently i Have my work cut out for me.
Thanks for the inspirational photo's.since purchasing i have removed tire chains, replaced loader bucket with more reasonable size.

According to my serial list your 44 331 falls into the 1955 model year which is 426093--488578. At this point it does not really matter what the 3rd digit is.
