Buying Advice Buying a to30

He says it has a high/low transmission...

Sorry for digging up an older thread, but I wanted to point out that this is probably a TO-35 if it has a high/low trans. I just bought a TO-30 which the previous owner thought was a TO-35, so the differences are pretty fresh in my mind. See pages 2 and 3 of this document, particularly the pictures:

FENA (Ferguson Enthusiasts of North America) is definitely a great resource for information, I've referred to their website many times myself.

Nice tractor DB. There are two items on ebay that might interest you. One there appear to be an original type operators manual. Also there is a bonded copy of the service manual not I&T. If you don't have those you will one day in the future. Replacement parts both new and salvage seem to be plentiful for that type. Take care. -robert

Thanks. I found a nice scanned copy of the owner's manual here:

I'll probably pick up a service manual at some point too.

I just recieved this sevice manual for the Ferguson TO-20, -30 and TE-20 and it is by far the clearest and complete CD manual I have found. I bought one several years ago from another seller and their were pages missing and the figures were blurry.The figures in this CD are clear and sharp as is the text.
If you are looking for a service manual for your TO-20, TO-30, or TE-20. I would highly recommend this one. $9.95 and free shipping.

Thanks for the heads-up. I bought a similar one which just arrived yesterday. It has a good clean scan of the service manual for the three models along with a few other manuals for some implements.
