I am new in this game and would like to know if 900 USD is a good price for a 1955-TEA20 offered me by an 85 year old farmer. I have not tried the tractor, but according to the seller it is in very good shape and has been in regular use until 10 years ago when replaced by a Zetor. The clutch is new.

What is the weight of the tractor. I want to use it on an isolated island outside the Norwegian coast, and have to arrange transport.

Do a few test, compression over 60 to 110 lbs good,Run the tractor till warmed then see what oil pressure you have 20 to 30 lbs would be good it should stay there, drain some oil off the oil pan check for antifreeze might be cracks in the block or might need a head gasket . If all this is good and the rear tires are good 900$ seems fair. I did not follow any of this and payed more for my first tractor you live and learn , good luck.

Yes if it is good that would be a very good price in North America, and a fair price in the UK. By 1955 there had been quite a few improvements made to the TEA20 so it's a good year. The engine size had been increased to an 85 mm bore, upping the hp from 24 to 28, the hydraulics had been improved a bit, and the electrical system by then was 12 volts.
The engine was made by Standard Motor Company in the UK so you will have access to most parts quite easily. Some of the engine parts (like bearings for example) are common with the Triumph TR3 car, for which there are many suppliers extant, so prices aren't too bad.
The tractor weighs about 1200 kilos.
The complete workshop manual is available through Classic Tractors (see the link). It's the one with the grey cover described as "massive volume".
Good luck,
Jim W.
