Can't find your Serial Number Plate?*
If your SN plate is missing there are some features that may help you identify your Ferguson TE20:
The aluminum engine SN plate, fastened to theblock with four small course-threaded rivets, willbe located near the top of the left side of the engine block between the coil and the distributor.The engine model (all Z-series) will be found onthe plate, preceding the engine number, and willhelp determine the tractor model (assuming nomodifications to the tractor have been made,such as cobbling together a tractor from parts ofseveral different models).If equipped with a Standard Motors gasoline or Diesel engine:Standard Motors engines have no SN plate. The engine data is stamped into the block on a flat surface. On engines with carburetors, the numbers are located between the oil filler and the coil on the left side of the engine. On Diesels the numbers are just above the generator on the right side of the engine.
