- Everyone says these are really hard to start but it's all about the diesel pump timing and it's got to be spot on!
Here is our FE35 Ferguson 35
Geniune Grey and Gold belly
Wow its on the starter 😊. Nice tractor
If anyone wants to see more videos on the FE35, let me know any suggestions 👍🏼
Nice job on the restoration runs very well
Thank you! 👍🏼 Very pleased with the outcome 🚜
Good video thanks
Nice 35 grey and gold have one to but it got hole in right top for tub and pre cleaner to get dirt out of oil bath
Aww unlucky! Very hard to find 2nd hand parts for certain bits these days
@@TomFewtrell no tom my got the hole in the top from factory with the oil bath tube and pre cleaner iam in Australia so that be why maybe
less than 100 hours? Wow!
If only.... We have the original dial somewhere but all the numbers have come off
Please see my other videos for this tractor and plow in action
We have one of these with the 23C engine - in its whole lifetime (bought new 1962) it was never hard to start. Engine has been rebuilt a few years ago and still not hard to start!! Yes, they did have that reputation but could never see why!!
I've just bought one which was rebuilt in 2019, and starts well (now that I have got the Thermostart working again!).
I think the reputation stems from the 23c engine being a car/truck engine and needing car/truck levels of maintenance which they never got on farms to they would get abused and go out of time, and then not start.
The later Perkins engine will run whatever, so was more suited to agricultural (ab)use...

My uncle told me never to buy a a 4 cylinder they were a c*** to start anybody that knows about tractors will tell you that
Everyone says that, but it's all about the timing and the slack in the chain. You need to get it exsctly right and then she'll be sweet to start!
I had one of those, it was a bear to start. Even upgraded the gloplugs and i installed a ford 5000c starter, it helped a little
That sounds great! What engine is that? I thought the diesels were 3 cylinders.
23C engine. It's the early 4 cylinder before they changed it to the perkins 3 cylinder 👍🏼
Massey purchased Perkins Engine Company in 1959. Prior to that They ( Massey ) purchased Engines from outside Companies.
The 2.3 liter Engine ( 139 Cubic Inch ) was made in England.
one question: My dad has a FE 35 too bit in the infeed manifold we don't have that additional injection - what is it for?
If you mean the part in videoing at around 0:40 secs, then that is the pre heater, like a glow plug. It sprays a fine most into the inlet manifold and it catches fire inside so that when you start it's warm/hot air going in. Works very well!
@@TomFewtrell aah perfect to know, thanks a lot!
If you have a 1959 model then there might not be an Thermostart (pre heater) but instead there are 4 glow plugs on the left hand side of the cylinder head.
