Your father-in-laws tractor is a little grey Ferguson, quite common, this was the first vehicle i drove when i was six yrs old.

As for the other pictures, lot of nice engines their.

Yep its a TE20.... Common in the UK, not so common in Finland tho.  I work for him on occaison and have learned quite a lot... for example the Perkins diesel engine in a MF135 is the same as found in some boats lol.  We managed to source an engine for one recently from a boat breakers yard :)

they are called woolworth diesels here.  - not made to last. ever tried working on one in a tractor. heck you have to strip half the motor to do even basic maintenance.  well almost.  take the cylinder head off and you would be lucky to find 2 bolts the same length.

That sounds about right, they are not built to be repaired.
