Please excuse my ignorance, I'm new to Ferguson tractors(own Farmalls). I'm looking at buying a 1950 TE-20. My grandfather had a TO-20 that was a very good tractor. What is the difference and why is there a difference in values? Horsepower? Transmission? Engine? Thanks for any help.

The TE-20 and the TO-20 are the "Same" Tractor. They have the same engine, transmission and horsepower. (Contential Z-120).

The TE (Tractor England) was built in the UK while Ferguson got his Detroit plant started.

The TO (Tractor Overseas) was built in Detroit.

Same Basic design...Same Basic Tractor...

That said, there are some minor piece part differences. Most noteably the Lucus vs. AC Delco electral parts. These are available but you do need to know, what to look for. Other differences are minor styling changes and transmission housing material.

If you are looking at a 1950 -20 verify if you are looking at a TE-20 or a TEA-20. The TEA-20 is another varient on the same basic tractor. Biggest difference is that the TEA did not have a contential engine, but has a Standard Triumph Engine.

Easiest way to check is the oil fill tube... TE-20 front left of engine & internal oil filter, TEA-20 oil fill tube is in the left rear of enging and it has an external oil fileter.

All are good and the same basic design.

one difference is the ignition system in the TE was made by Lucas ,so you should look and make sure the starter ,generator and voltage regulator are all working well ,lucas parts are not easy to find and you just cant switch to delco remy as easy as you might think ,the hp is the same as the TO20 ,they also have a magnesium transmission case which i just learned is not easy to weld if it has any damage to it ,but they are a good tractor and a lot of us have them,i have a 1949 TE and am trying to keeep it original ,6 volt etc.
good luck with it
