What kit did you use for the alternator? Also did you have to remove the voltage regulator?

[@WilkoinFrance]

This is the kit that I bought: tracteurbits.com/en/electrical-componants/3099-dynamo-to-alternator-conversion-kit.html?search_query=TBA-6914&results=1 You can leave the voltage regulator in place, but disconnect it as the alternator has a built-in regulator, it comes with a new wiring kit, you can also buy each component separately too. I removed my regulator as it was burnt out anyway. I did have to change the generator pulley over on to the alternator, as the supplied pulley had the groove slightly too narrow for the belt, but both had the same diameter shaft, so no problem there.

Salut, really enjoying this 835 restoration videos! Good work Wilko. I’m just doing one up myself but I’ve been stupid🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ and let it run out of diesel today. I have manual for the 35 but doesn’t give me instructions on how to bleed with Lavallette pump. Would you be able to advise please?

Hi, thanks for your comment. I have a manual for the 835 DS with the Lavalette pump which you can download here, it is in French vieux.tracteurs.free.fr/pdf/MF_835_manuel_instructions.pdf if you go to page 18-19 of the book which is page 21-22 of the pdf it describes the bleeding of the system with the Lavalette pump.

@@WilkoinFrance thank you sooo much. That’s worked perfectly this morning. Really appreciate your very quick and helpful response. I bought what I thought was a straight 35 as a project but turns out it’s a very original 835, original bodywork, original dials all in French, so restoring as a French model 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷. Will keep watching you series to help with the project!!!!

Happy to read that it worked out. Does your tractor still have the kigas priming system to cold start it? That's probably one of the only things that parts are not available for.

[@andymanning6346]

@@WilkoinFrance yes many thanks for your help. No tractor doesn't still have kigas system fitted. Are there any websites/sellers you would recommend for parts. We have lots of Ferguson/MF/Vintage stores here in UK but i want to restore true to original so havre a feeling I'll be online shopping "en France" for most of this project!!!!!!

I have actually found that a lot of the parts are the same as a FE35, with the red panels being from a MF35, I have used Tracteurbits, tracteurbits.com/en/16-mf-fe35-835ds which is a French online shop, they also have the option to change the language to English and they also ship to the UK. Service from them has been great, they also have some parts on eBay, sometimes cheaper on eBay than their own online shop, but you can contact them and then they change their price on their online shop. The other site that I used was an Irish website the parts were cheaper, though customer service wasn't great, they also ship to UK. Also some of the parts I bought didn't fit, so probably just a slight difference in French design I would assume. tractorspares.ie/product-category/ferguson/fe35/ Though I would probably stick with trying to buy as much as possible in the UK to not have problems with Customs delays and duties.
