My TO-20 was mfgr'd in Detroit. I think the overseas notation refers to (from) England as Fergie seems to be rooted there. Had the continental 4 cyl OHV engine Which was also mfgd. there as I recall. When Pitch mentioned hydraulics, he didn't mean that they didn't have any, just that they weren't LIVE. Basically the lift and PTO and ground speed all worked together. When you let the clutch out it all starts happening. Later on (hundred series and up), things were isolated and you could perform separate functions without regard for the clutch or the ground speed. Made 3pt mowing and other things lots easier. The TO-20 had 4 holes under the differential casting where you could bolt up a drawbar. Otherwise the drawbar (8n) had to be mounted to the 3 pt and this required a bracket and stabilizer bars to keep the 3 pt in position. The 20 had a 4 sp tranny as did the 8n. The 8n was the last of the n's and as I recall they made 500,000 of which, half are said to be kicking today. The flathead was a reliable engine also. Around N. Texas, those machines go for $2500 to $2900 and usually have a 5'mower included. Doesn't seem to matter condition; some nice, some not but still bring the same money. Nice starter, but after you use a later model, you get spoiled. I did. Mark
