Massey Harris and ferguson merged in 1953 ,and test experimental tractor were tested from 1953 and a agreement must have been made where ferguson successfully promted them to manufacture the 35 and tooling must have been already made before the meeting in San Antonio texas in march 1954 which harry ferguson did not attend as he was in poor health, I think the tvo 35 would have been harry Ferguson's own personal input into the project as he always wanted to manufacture a tractor engine that ran as smooth as a rolls Royce car it was farmers who prompted the diesel engine economics and frank perkins was the first one to fit diesel engines the previous tvo ferguson 20 diesel and fordson majors, it was quite reluctantly that ferguson manufactured ferguson 20s with diesel engines after seeing how popular frank perkins conversions were, why I think the 35 tooling was already made before the meeting was there was a ferguson Ltx or te 60 that was also built and tested and harry ferguson wanted it produced and if it had to be produced it would have competed with the fordson majors of the day, but the reason it was shelved and drawings test models destroyed bar 1 that survive in the uk until 1974 was no1 harry ferguson wasn't at the meeting and no 2 the Detroit Michigan plant wasn't going that well at the time it was in the red and it was decided to build the 65 of as much of the 35 components as possible to fill the demand for the bigger horsepower tractor market using tooling already in place as it would have cost too much to re tool plants to manufacture the te 60 as it was a different tractor, the to 35 was launched in the usa in January 5 ,1955 was green and grey, launched in London uk in 1956 in grey and bronz , 1957 they changed colour from grey bronze to grey red after 73655 retaining the ferguson badge up front and side along with button bonett until the ferguson system badge was introduced in June 1958 retaining the push button bonett until 1959 when latch bonnets were introduced 1960 perkins engine were bought 1962 35x was introduced and produced continue till 1964,

[@Dave-jm5yo]

Another great video Phil. I wouldn't paint it myself. I would put a new condenser and spark plugs and spark plug cables on it tho.

[@michaellorio9774]

bonjour encore une belle vidéo avec un magnifique Massey très très propre 👍👍👍👍

[@kt3537]

Interesting video!! Your father could have his own channel ..on all things Vintage & the olden days! 🤠

[@curranpeter4704]

It wouldn't surprise me if you were after sorcing the ferguson 20 that was on the farm in the early days or after buying one with a longford registration to have the link back

[@mark9800]

My father had a gold belly FE-35 diesel. He traded it in for a new 135 in 1969 and I think he got £100 for it at the time. He got a grant for the 135 too. His brothers told him he was mad. Both of them both one later on but his is still going strong today. I would love a FE35 myself. His was painted red after he sold it too

[@Rolf2014]

Sehr schöne Traktoren

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video phil good to hear dad talking about it, can we see father phil repairing the combines in the winter one day?

[@tractorrestorations6055]

The upside down date stamp is night shift The correct way up is day shift in the foundry

[@ghostrider7688]

Great vid Phil brings back memories the first tractor I drove on my own was a Ferguson 20 , about 4 years of age twas very common for young fellas to drive tractors & these Fergie’s Were Tops as the clutch brake throttle and steering were all within reach and if you were too small you you stand up off the seat and still drive it 💪

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great times i bet Shane.

[@cdemo1186]

That was the only way to drive it until you gained a bit of height and weight. Jump on the clutch and brake 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@garyscott3036]

Your da should start his own channel

[@seanpuptreacy]

Never heard of a 35 tvo, interesting

[@Aarontaylor4050]

If the date is written upside down it means that it was made on the night shift

[@brendanmcloughlin193]

The tin work is like new on it original is by the looks of it

[@seanmc6957]

Very interesting 😊👍

[@harrybreeze7707]

I got a Ferguson ted20 TVO the only thing that’s not original is the tyres and the fuel tank it’s a 1953 model the problem with the TVO up here in Shetland is the weather is too cold for it so u could never get it hot enough to put onto TVO 😂

Would you ask father phil why the battery on my 35 wont charge until you rev it up to almost flat out, charges away no bother then afterwards at any revs?

Is it a dynamo or an altenater? asked Father Phil

[@jerryodriscoll3691]

Take your cover off the regulator and check to see that there is no corrosion on the points in the regulator. The regulator is under the dash at the steering.

Hi Phil love the video as usual. Does father Phil know that the last of the grey Fergie 20 were badged Massey Harris Ferguson, I was amazed to find that out I always thought Massey wasn't involved till after the gold belly was produced, so there you go

[@CowfarmerDan]

The serial plates said Massey Harris Ferguson from 1953 after the merger.
