Awesome video! This machine has a special place in my heart . My granddad had a 300-acre working farm back in the 70s, and this was his workhorse. Watching this brought so many memories flooding back . I was 10 years old when I first learned to drive and man did I love that tractor . Thanks for the video
Hey, just want to urge you to buy a set of replacement shifter boots for your tractor. They are under $5/pair and save your transmission from getting water down in it where it can fill up and freeze cracking the casting in the worst case, corroding the bearings (especially the small needle bearings at the lowest positions), lock up the shifter rods, and create a lot of repair work in there. I just went through the TO35 I inherited to replace bearings and seals in the transmission because of the rubber not sealing to the shifter shafts. The shifter knobs unscrew, pull off the old ones and push on the new ones.
Where are you getting parts? My shift boots are recent but I need other stuff. However I can use it again when I can steer it. Everything else is functional.
Good job. I have a TAFE35 which is an Indian made version of the MF35 only sims in the USA for a couple of years. It has been a workhorse and has saved me from many additional hours of backbreaking work.
I just bought a 1963 MF 35 deluxe 3cyl perkins diesel 5 days ago for $600. Runs great. Mine doesn't have diff lock either. But if your brake pedals are not locked together you can press the brake pedal on the wheel that is spinning and the other wheel will start to spin.
@@FarmDad found it in a field been sitting for 9 years .checked fluids, hook booster cables to it and she fired right up. It also came with a little brushhog
My girlfriend’s parents live in Rogers. Love it out there!. I just got a TO35 too. I’m looking for a mower, auger and front loader. You don’t know of any out there do you?
My Grampa got one of these new in the 50s. It was his first new tractor on his tobacco farm he sold it to my dad in the early 70s in an auction, it is now my brother’s and most likely is rotting at the farm my dad gave him as well. It was a great tractor, the orchard version, exhaust out the rear... like this, gas engine, deluxe version.
That little cotter key is your best friend, one time, long ago I got my tractor stuck, mud got up in that drain hole, stopped it up, I did not realize this, drove tractor for a while and oil got on my clutch, Had to have a new clutch Recently, the cotter key finally broke off from years of wear and tear, Take that clutch inspection plate off and you can replace the cotter key, Take care of your old Ferguson and it will take care of you, They are fine tractors,
The 3 engine options for the Massey Fergusons were propane (Continental), gas (Continental) or Perkins diesel. The mf65 had a 58hp 4 cylinder Perkins diesel that was a beast.
I probably payed a bit too much - at least the seller seemed happy, but the tractor is in good working condition even now almost 2 years after I bought it. Having front loader hydraulics It came with two different style buckets, a snowplow and snow chains. I am very happy having the little reliable tractor and never regret the 35 000skr (2700 Pounds) that was my bid. @@designfabrication512
Can you please tell me what the dimensions of the exhaust down pipe is? How long - tall is the pipe that goes from the exhaust manifold ( with the 3 nuts) to the 90 degree bend?
I had to split my 35 to rebuild the clutch and I am having a dickens of a time putting it back together. My clutch alignment tool fits kinda snug, how perfect does the alignment need to be?
Is there an access that you could loosen the pressure plate bolts through ? once the input shaft is through the disc that can really help to get the end of the shaft into the pilot bushing.
I have one of these with the gas engine... need to do the steering gear box either complete or with a kit. Your split brake pedals can work the same way as a traction control., you just have to brake the side that's slipping,
You stated that the 4 cylinder Continental engine was diesel I will correct you . My 59 Ferguson 35 has the Continental 4 cylinder Z-134 gas engine they were not diesel . I have owned and operated many of them since the 1960s with that engine and the perkins 3 cylinder diesel .
I haven't ran into that problem. I have a video on how to adjust the clutch pedal, but I'm not sure it would help in this circumstance. czcams.com/video/8VgfQB52wzo/video.html
@@FarmDad Thank you! were assuming at this point that its gonna need a clutch rebuild. Sadly. Not sure how much it will cost but it runs to good not to get it fixed.
You are welcome. I have not done that task, so I cannot advise. But there are some good Facebook groups for these tractors where I'm sure someone would be glad to help.
The draft-control was actually the reason, why Massey Ferguson and later European farmers could plow with lighter and weaker tractors and less fuel of course.

Man, it sounds like you were brought up right!

Thanks for the heads up! I really should do that!
Yes,,cheap insurance.
Where are you getting parts?

@@dwaynestomp5462 E-bay. Where I found.
Good job. I have a TAFE35 which is an Indian made version of the MF35 only sims in the USA for a couple of years. It has been a workhorse and has saved me from many additional hours of backbreaking work.
Nice. Sounds like a great tractor.
Just got one myself with the 4 cylinder, and this helped a ton😁
Glad to hear it!
Great video Dad, seeing you "walk" that tractor back to the shop again makes me thankful I have never had to do that !
Wish I hadn't either as I still haven't gotten around to fixing it!
@@FarmDad- You will, when you need to...

That's a nifty trick! I'll have to try that. You got a great deal!

@@samuelmarshall1003 I paid 2500 for mine!
2700 for mine not sorry@@FarmDad
Thanks for making this vid. I just bought my first tractor .. a 1972 MF 135 with the 3 cyl Perkins. It helped me to get familiar with it.
Great tractor, you have. I was actually looking for a 135 when I ended up finding this 35.
Just found your channel. I'm over in Rogers Arkansas and just bought a Massey Ferguson 35 (gas model) today. This was extremely helpful!
Hey neighbor! Enjoy that tractor!
My girlfriend’s parents live in Rogers. Love it out there!. I just got a TO35 too. I’m looking for a mower, auger and front loader. You don’t know of any out there do you?
If you don’t mind… what did you pay for your tractor?
@@designfabrication512 It is a fixer upper. Got it running pretty well now though I have to shut off the fuel to turn it off still. $800.
@@spindiamond I’m looking at one that looks to be in pretty good shape… new carb, new ignition, starter, governor, alternator. The guy wants $1900

Thank you! I recently picked up a Massey Ferguson 165. the controls are similar to yours. been looking for a video like this
Congrats on your purchase! And I'm glad this helped out.
Man thank you! From across the pond 🏴
Most welcome!
even tough I have the gas version this was very helpful, Thank you!
Most welcome!
That little cotter key is your best friend, one time, long ago I got my tractor stuck, mud got up in that drain hole, stopped it up,
I did not realize this, drove tractor for a while and oil got on my clutch,
Had to have a new clutch
Recently, the cotter key finally broke off from years of wear and tear,
Take that clutch inspection plate off and you can replace the cotter key,
Take care of your old Ferguson and it will take care of you,
They are fine tractors,
Also replace those rubber gear shift boots, water can get into your transmission differential sump
@@fredhart7904 I really need to do this
Awesome video. I just acquired an MF35 and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!
You got a good tractor.
I have been looking for content like this. Thank you

Nice ! Bringing home my first tractor tomorrow, a 35X just like yours, so your go through was very useful, thanks!
Lucky man. Have fun with it.

Thank mate - very helpful.
Welcome, buddy!
If you want to raise the hood without removing the front bumper, just pop off the radiator grill.
Thanks for the good info
Glad you found it helpful.
Good video brother! Thanks
Welcome
draft control is used when if the wheels slip while plowing to prevent slippage
Thanks for this video, just bought one, NFI what I'm doing
@@mannycalavera121 congrats on your purchase 👍👍
Can you please tell me what the dimensions of the exhaust down pipe is? How long - tall is the pipe that goes from the exhaust manifold ( with the 3 nuts) to the 90 degree bend?
Good basic useful video
Good description
Thanks!
I had to split my 35 to rebuild the clutch and I am having a dickens of a time putting it back together. My clutch alignment tool fits kinda snug, how perfect does the alignment need to be?
I haven't split mine. Wonder if this video might help even though it's on a bigger, newer model: czcams.com/video/Qbp4EcwiDmE/video.html
Is there an access that you could loosen the pressure plate bolts through ? once the input shaft is through the disc that can really help to get the end of the shaft into the pilot bushing.
@@TheCanadianBubba I can try that.
2 stage clutch. Need special tools.
Hey, is the hudraulic oil the same than transmisiion?
Had one for over 50 yrs. Perkins diesel
Nice!
I have one of these with the gas engine... need to do the steering gear box either complete or with a kit.
Your split brake pedals can work the same way as a traction control., you just have to brake the side that's slipping,
Yes sir, thanks for the tip. 🤦♂️
Thank you
Welcome!!
How do you use the pick up hitch? Thank you
You stated that the 4 cylinder Continental engine was diesel I will correct you . My 59 Ferguson 35 has the Continental 4 cylinder
Z-134 gas engine they were not diesel . I have owned and operated many of them since the 1960s with that engine and the perkins 3 cylinder diesel .
You are correct. I must have misspoke. I meant to refer to the 4 cylinder diesel as a standard built 23c. And the petrol as a Continental.
I believe that's what mine is . 134 gas. Just learning here. Forget the European motor
Do you know where to hook the governor compensating spring?
Very helpful video. Please make one on how to remove water 💧 out of the rear differential. I have a problem with my MF 35 getting water in it. Thanks
Thanks for the idea. Best of luck with yours.
@@FarmDad I will need it
Hey I got one of these and the clutch seems to get stuck with it engaged.. any tips to get it unstuck?
I haven't ran into that problem. I have a video on how to adjust the clutch pedal, but I'm not sure it would help in this circumstance. czcams.com/video/8VgfQB52wzo/video.html
@@FarmDad Thank you! were assuming at this point that its gonna need a clutch
rebuild. Sadly. Not sure how much it will cost but it runs to good not to get it fixed.
can we get a continental 4 cyl gas version
What dose it use for hydraulic fluid?
I always just used the Universal hydraulic fluid from Tractor Supply, but a lot of people swear by 90w gear oil.
I know I'm a bit late to the party, the fill cap on my unit says summer 90 weight, winter 80 weight.
How do you install the cottor pin, if one is missing? Thanks for you video & time to do so.
You are welcome. I have not done that task, so I cannot advise. But there are some good Facebook groups for these tractors where I'm sure someone would be glad to help.
I want vidio for fixing hidrolic not lifting the plough
If your hydraulics are tuned properly, draft control is turned off at the bottom position of the lever.
Thank you!
My buddy's father has one but it is a gas engine. I want it so bad but there is no way he will part with it.
Watch Facebook marketplace. I see 35s come up for sale pretty often on there in my area.
@@FarmDad there are a few around me as well but my friends tractor had been used by 3 generations and that's what makes it good.
Either your oil pressure gage is disconnected or you have no oil pressure!
3:23 I see oil pressure. Perhaps you were looking at temp? Or maybe you too only saw the gauge at start up before it had time to build?
How much
The draft-control was actually the reason, why Massey Ferguson and later European farmers could plow with lighter and weaker tractors and less fuel of course.
Makes sense 😀
Quisiera escucharlo en español
ever seen one with a Military Tag on it? Corp of Engineers? About 50 were made and I got one...:)
That's super cool.
@@FarmDad Still trying to find info on this tractor, If I could email you i would happily send you a pic of the tractor and the ID tag.
