The Ferguson FE35 (Massey Harris Ferguson Company) was manufactured from 1956 until part way through 1957 when production continued under the Massey Ferguson badge and red and grey livery of the MF35. The FE35 was painted in a distinctive contrast of grey tinwork and wheels with golden castings. These distinctive colours gave the tractor a list of names by which the machine became known…..
…..Grey Bronze, Golden Grey, Gold Bellies, Grey & Gold, Gold Standard, Golden Belly, Golden Bird, Goldbauch (Germany).
The serial numbers are preceeded by three letters.
The first letter denotes the chassis type (S=standard, V=vineyard, J=industrial)
The scond letter denotes the engine (G=petrol, H= high altitude petrol, D= 23C diesel, N= 3-A-152 diesel, K=vapourising oil)
The third letter denotes variation (F=single clutch, M=dual clutch)
Data specifications and torques are as for the Massey Ferguson 35.
It is the distinctive silver and gold Ferguson badge that really finishes off this distinctive colour scheme.
