I can remember a small-hold neighbour, now long dead, who had a petrol
starting TVO tractor some 35 years ago. Even then it was a relic. But
he also used a Victorian looking hand pump to get water out of his
well.

Any idea how much horse power that old TVO represented?
Which one? As far as I can tell the Fordson Major was about 40 whereas
the little grey Fergie was about 28.

Our 1941 built Fordson N type was 27 BHP, used until 1971,Dad replaced
it with a grey Fergie but that was a Diesel version.
Didn't they fit a 3 cylinder Perkins?

Not sure about that but ISTR that was fitted in Allis tractors and
combines
