I have acquired a 4 cyl. diesel Ferguson which is painted grey all over. It was first registered here in Northern Ireland in Jan 1957. Where the paint has been scraped away the colour underneath is gold. I would like to renovate this tractor in its original colours and would appreciate any advice, particularly on the colours used. There is a number on the engine SJ 2658 ES and a plate with the name Ricardo, England. On the gearbox casing is the stamp MHF 183 253 MI. Any information on this model would be welcome.

Hello Don,

Ferguson FE35 tractors were built from 1956-1958, with petrol, TVO or diesel engines. The tinwork was grey, the engine and transmission was gold.

( During 1958 they became red Massey-Ferguson MF35 tractors.)

The engine letters are correct for a Grey & Gold FE 35 tractor.

The letters in the engine serial number, SJ nnnn ES mean the following:

Standard Diesel 23C ( 3.5/16th inch bore), with single clutch.

More details are indicated by the prefix letters in the tractor serial number, e.g. tractor type, engine type & compression ratio, clutch type, and year

Does your tractor have a serial number?

I have a list of tractor serial numbers and year built, but not engine numbers.

But if yours was registered in Jan 1957, it cannot be an MF35, and must be an FE35.

Hope this helps,

John

If the gold colour is ORIGINAL, then you have an FE-35, quite rare.

These were called the 'Grey and Gold' tractors, because the tinwork was grey but the engine and 'body' was all gold.

If the tractor itself has a Serial Number plate, we can look up the exact model and year etc.

I 'll look up more info at the weekend.

Rgds John
