Recently acquired what I was told was a 1942 Ferguson. Number off of the plate under steering wheel look like TE 55878, but the last number is hard to read and could be a B. What model is this and am I going to have difficulty finding engine rebuild parts? Thanks.

Look up your serial number from the link at the left to determine the mfgr. year. Most parts are readily available for these tractors from the links at the left or farmandcountry.com or search the internet for Continental engine. The hardest to find is a hyd. pump. If you find a good one the cost is near $2,000. This is great incentive to take good care of our tractors.

Thanks Ray. If the year of original purchase I was given by the owner was correct, then it must be a Ford Ferguson built in 1941. The hood badge says only Ferguson. From looking at the serial numbers off the links to the left, with a serial number of 55878, it could be a 1941 Ford Ferguson or a 1948 TE20? How would I tell the difference?

A "Ford-Ferguson" was a Ford, with the Ferguson system i.e. a three point hitch. If you had a one of those it would say Ford on it.
A Ferguson is a Ferguson, and also of course has the Ferguson system. You have a TE20, and the guy who sold it to you was off on the year, that's all.
One easy way to tell the difference is that on the Fergie, the whole hood tilts forward to put gas in or check the battery. Fergies also have overhead valve engines whereas the old Fords were flatheads.
