The answer is confusing...
The official Ferguson Service Manual does not state a firing order for the 6 volt version of the TE-A20 (Standard Motor Co. Petrol Motor). For the 12 volt version of the TE-A20, the diesel (TE-F20), the vaporising oil models (TE-D20 & TE-E20), and the lamp oil model (TE-H20), the official Service Manual states that the firing order is 1-4-3-2.
However, from observation of the distributor, on both my own TE-A20 and my father-in-law's one, which both function correctly, the firing order appears to be 1-2-4-3, as this is the order that the spark-plug leads are connected to the distributor (in a clockwise direction, viewing the distributor from above, which is the direction in which the rotor turns).
My observations are confirmed by a post by Graham Boulter at Yesterday's Tractor Co.'s discussion board: http://www.ytmag.com/mf/messages/12855.html
The I+T Ferguson Shop Manual has the firing order as 1342 , check rotation direction.
The engines on TO20 Ferguson tractor are interchangeable on the engines of the TE20 Ferguson tractor. They need very little moderation.

The TE20, a tractor model manufactured by Massey Ferguson, typically has two core plugs, also known as freeze plugs or expansion plugs. These plugs are designed to prevent coolant from leaking out of the engine block and to protect against freezing damage. Proper maintenance of these plugs is essential for the longevity of the engine.
Either 4.00-19 or 6.00-16, latter was so called option size.
Although this is a petrol engine, it benefits from any top-quality DIESEL engine oil because of the oil's detergent properties.
I would suggest asking someone who works on tractors regularly. They would know how to tell the model. look on the left side of the engine block for a casting number starting with a Z. If it is Z129 then it is a TO30, Z134 is a TO35, Z120 is a TO 20 Or possibly a TE20
The 1950 petrol TE20 Grey Fergie tractor typically has a top speed of around 12 to 15 miles per hour (19 to 24 kilometers per hour). Its design prioritized torque and durability over speed, making it well-suited for agricultural tasks rather than high-speed travel. The tractor is known for its reliability and efficiency in farming operations.
To remove the governor from a Ferguson TE20 engine, first, ensure the engine is off and disconnect the battery for safety. Then, remove the governor assembly by unscrewing the bolts that secure it to the engine block, taking care to note any springs or linkages that may need to be detached. After removing the governor, you may need to adjust the throttle linkage to ensure proper operation without it. Always consult a service manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
Hello, If you look in Wilkmedia on TE20 it tells you there that the first red and grey 35 was in December 57 when Fergusons officially became Massey Ferguson and got rid of the Harris name hope this helps
In 1992 Hillary appeared on the updated New Zealand $5 note, thus making him the only New Zealander to appear on a banknote during his or her lifetime, in defiance of the established convention for banknotes of using only depictions of deceased individuals, and current heads of state. The Reserve Bank governor at the time, Don Brash, had originally intended to use a deceased sportsperson on the $5 note but could not find a suitable candidate. Instead he broke with convention by requesting and receiving Hillary's permission - along with an insistence from Hillary to use Aoraki/Mount Cook rather than Mount Everest in the backdrop. The image also features a Ferguson TE20 tractor like the one Hillary used to reach the South Pole on the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition.
