Both tractors are about equal in my opinion. It is Ford 8N or Ferguson TO 20.Massey Harris is a different brand. Massey did not team up with Ferguson until a couple of years later. Neither have live PTO or Hydraulics. Both are decent entry level machines depending on what your intended uses are. The ford has a flathead 4 and the TO 20 is OHV I have heard altho I have no personal knowledge that the TO 20 has oil delivery problems. The term 8N is often applied to all older fords so make sure you know what you are getting The 9 and 2N"s have a three speed transmission and the 8 has a four. Parts maybe marginally easier to aquire for the ford but I don"t think either would present a problem The Fergusons were manufactured in England and the O stands for Overseas while the TE 20"s were for England. Depending on your area and your negotiating skills either should be able to be gotten for between 1500 and 3500 dollars. Around here most folks start asking 3500 for an N and sell it a year later for 2200. Good Luck

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
