Any tractor fans in the house? A question

[Chipper]

Trying to buy a book for my other half's pa. He drove a "little grey fergie" when he was little-ish. I found some books on t'internet, but some places talk about a T20 and others a TE20 ... does it make any odds?

Going by wikipedia, TE stands for Tractor England, there was also TO for Tractor Overseas.
It also says TE20 was commonly known as "Little Grey Fergie" so I guess that would be the right one.

D'oh, you beat me to it Tony - I just found that.

I remember working on the 'Tractor Vaporizer Oil' version with my dad when I was a kid.

I was a tractor fan. I'm an ex tractor fan now.

Oops! Just found this in the forum rules - "Avoid chatter and jokes outside the members forums. If you can't resist posting a witty insight please also include a couple of lines related to the original topic."

My old TEA used to be my pride and joy but it now needs a lot of work doing so it is now sitting on the back burner while I decide whether to do a nuts 'n' bolts rebuild or another grease up and hope job.

There is a good insight into model designators and differences at http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_TE20#Variants

Grey Fergie

Starting with T20 it goes on and on: T20 TE20 TEA20 TED20 TEF20 . All are different versions of the same tractor: Age, engine type etc. Have a look at "www.old20.com" for lots of info. Sorry but I do not know how to add the direct link to theis website - maybe someone can advise!!!!

Thanks all. That book ^ looks good. I was thinking of this one

Amazon calls it "T20" but cover pic shows "TE20", not exactly unusual for them to muck their details up though.
If it's the same thing T/TE etc then all's good.
