"I am from France. I bought a TEF 20 last June. The paint looked
poor, but there was no holes. The engine was running well but was impossible to
start without "start pilot". I asked my mechanic to paint it new and I
drove it to my family house in the countryside. during the summer the engine
broke after 10 hours.... (pistons and rings). The engine was rebuilt completly
new last winter and now it is a real pleasure to hear and drive this new engine.
I am preparing a web page for all history and pics for total restauration. Here
is a temporary link:

(This
is a graphic intense page that has great pics of the before and after tractor.
He includes pics of its motor breakdown, partially completed paint and many
other great shots! I especially like the pics that show the tractor on a lift
in a body shop alongside porsches!)
