If you going to go topping with it get a PTO shaft adapter with a over-run clutch in it.

That's an absolute must. Only a few quid more than a fixed one and well worth it. You will need an adaptor to run any modern equipment off the pto, so get the over run type as suggested above.

Don't be tempted by a topper over 4'. It will cope with a 5', but it is over the limit if you need to cut anything other than grass. Even a 4' will start to bog down in thick thistles, etc.

You will need some lead additive if you intend using it alot. The valves will recess if you run it on unleaded alone.

Ours is a 1950 TE20 too.

Yes ill be getting an over run PTO as I have read about the issues with momentum in the topper etc driving the tractor on.

Curretnly Im favouring a flail mower as they seem to be better at mulching? and can be off set mounted www.tractorfactory.co.uk.  Although I may end up wiht a topper. Thanks for the tip about size, I was planning on a smallish one as I have small paddocks, but could have been tempted by a big one as im off to a farm sale on saturday.mainly looking for a chain harrow.

Good luck with the harrow. They seem to fetch silly money second hand. Make sure you know how much a new one is before you bid!
This place is quite well priced...
