Got the Ferguson TO20 home.

Finally had time to go get the old girl.  She runs strong for a 70 yr old tractor. Might try and find a period correct seat for it. I'll take off all the broken lights and wiring, give her a general cleaning. Swap out the brush hogs, and hopefully she'll find a great home.

You will love that Bush-hog. I had one on my Ford 8n and it worked great, cutting grass and clover nearly as neat as a finish mower.  I did have to beef it up a bit with metal and weld when I used it on a larger tractor.  For tractors up to 30 PTO hp, it will work fine just like it is.

I just really like those old tractors. This one will likely give you many, many years of service.

Post up more pics when you finish doing the upgrades. Have fun. It truly is a labor of love.

Didn't buy this to keep it.  I wanted the brush hog.  I'll swap out the Ford 910 mower and put this one on my JD. I'll sell the Fergie and the Ford as a set.

If those are original, you may want to keep them on. Or at least keep them available for a buyer. There are collectors and restorers who would see value in that old stuff, no matter the condition. If original.

Looks like a nice antique with good potential. Nice find!

I'll have to look at some pics and see what original lights looked like.   I believe the original headlights are on it. Haven't checked to see if they work.  The fender lights don't match and both are busted up pretty good.

I had a 1949 8N and I replaced the back lights (they were missing) with a replica set, and they are different. One is a tail light and one is a rear facing work light. I think yours are original. That bracket under it is for an accessory toolbox I think.
