Massey Ferguson TEF20 Tractor Parts

TEF20 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson TEF20, manufactured from 1952 to 1956, was a revolutionary agricultural tractor powered by a Standard Motor Company 25 horsepower diesel engine. With a PTO horsepower of around 21, this model quickly became popular among farmers for its fuel efficiency, compact size, and versatility in various farming tasks. Its affordable price point also contributed significantly to its widespread adoption, making mechanized farming accessible to more farmers.

The Massey Ferguson TEF20, a variant of the Ferguson TE20, was produced between 1952 and 1956. It distinguished itself with a Standard Motor Company 25 HP diesel engine with a displacement of 85 cubic inches. This engine offered a significant advantage in fuel economy compared to gasoline-powered tractors of the time. The TEF20 featured a 4-speed manual transmission, providing adequate gearing for a range of agricultural tasks. It delivered approximately 21 PTO horsepower at 1450 RPM. The hydraulic system had a capacity of approximately 3 GPM and typically did not feature remote valves. The 3-point hitch was a Category I type, allowing the use of numerous implements. The TEF20 was commonly used for tasks such as plowing small fields, cultivating row crops, mowing hay, and general livestock management. Unlike some larger Massey Ferguson models, the TEF20 was designed for smaller farms and more specialized applications, offering a balance of power and maneuverability in tight spaces.
