Not to nitpick, but the TE20 was made by Ferguson in the US with a
Continental engine, while the TEA20 was made by their English factory
with a Standard engine. There are a fair number of TEA20's in the US.
You can find out more by going to the Antique Tractor Internet Service
(ATIS) at <www.atis.net> There are several lists for older tractor fans,
including a general list, John Deere, Farmall/International, and
Ford/Ferguson.
Incidentally, the original Healey 100/4 engine and transmission were
also derived from agricultural units (no surprise to me after owning two
of them back in the '60s).
