It is neither a 1700 (2 cyl.) or a 1900 (I & T manual list 3 cyl.) It does bear a close resemblance to my 1700 so probably made by Shibura. If Ford/NH does not list a 2020 model then parts will be problematic at best.

I don't like it. it sounds quite fishy. it specs out like 2120 but it sure looks like 1700. it is easy to figure out #of cylinder by inspection from close. I hate when they spray paint the whole thing with shiny new blue paint, specially fuel lines and fuel pump. selling for someone else, freshly overhauled almost always bring bad Karma. I much rather see faded paint and surface rust. I'd be very careful or just drop it but would give it a close inspection if it is convinient.
JC,
what the heck is 4 speed pto?:confused2::confused2:

JC-Jetro, some of the gray tractors have multiple selection for PTO speed. Maybe for the tillers used on them by the rice farmers. I had a made-for-America Kubota with two speeds.
I, too, would like to have seen it before the spruce-up. I'm going to drop it since it's about 60 miles away. It would be counter-productive to drive there just to tell him he's a sham if it turns out that way.

Gene,
I have sen them with two speed pto but not four. Does this thing has mid pto? 120 miles and at least 4 hrs time spent. It is really important to know the history of tractor more than the age. I bought mine from a fellow employee at work, although not close friend but knew he would tell me the truth and I could trust him. There was no attempt of hiding anything. Keep checking and you'll find a good deal when you least expect it. I would be leery on grey market for the lack of parts.

The page is misleading at best. if you scroll down the page under Ford 2020 you'll see ma0ny many part might not have anything to do with Ford 2020.
JC,
Did you drop it?
I have this exact tractor except with a front loader and have been trying to figure out what it is. Bought it at an auction in Ok without knowing much about tractors. It does have 4 cylinders. It does have 4-speed PTO. Except for letting it freeze one winter and losing freezeplugs, it has worked great. Before I realized it was a freezeplug leaking (they were under the valve covers), I replaced the water pump and found one pretty quickly on eBay.
Would I be correct in assuming that a 4-cylinder is going to be around 40 HP?
