Re: 1950 Ferguson TO-20 Cost New? in reply to Wayne Wiseman, 09-24-2012 18:00:41
According to "Ferguson Implements and Accessories" by John Farnworth, the new prices in the UK, FOB ex works, were as follows.
I located a 1950 exchange rate for the UK? to US$ of US$1.00 = UK?0.3508 (approx ?0-7-0 or 7/-). UK? value converted to US$ shown in brackets.
Ferguson Brown June 1939:
Tractor with hydraulic unit and 10 in spudded wheels ?198-0-0 ($564)
Tractor with hyrdaulic unit and pneumatic tyres ?238-0-0 ($678)
TE20 Ferguson November 1946:
Tractor, TE type with Continental engine ?343-0-0 ($977)
Ferguson early models:
TE-A-20 tractor ?325-0-0 ($926)
TE-D-20 tractor ?335-0-0 ($955)
TE-C-20 tractor ?360-0-0 ($1,026)
TE-E-20 tractor ?370-0-0 ($1,055)
Ferguson June 1954:
TE-A-20 tractor ?395-0-0 ($1,126)
TE-D-20 tractor ?405-0-0 ($1,155)
TE-C-20 tractor ?435-0-0 ($1,240)
TE-F-20 tractor ?525-0-0 ($1,497)
Hope that helps?
Trivia of course, but I wonder why Ferguson in the US never offered a diesel engine option? Possibly because gasoline was far cheaper in the USA, unlike the UK and Australia?

Could it be that Continental was not ready with the ZD-129 before the TO-20 and TO-30 was gone, and the new tractor was the TO-35 ?
