Why am I not surprised that you are keeping it !! Very good video, now looking forward to more Vintage Thursdays

[@buzzbee6488]

always knew you'd own it good on you m8

[@Mark-lz8yv]

Great video

[@ianwallett7438]

Good news you have bought it, the old tractors still have their place on a farm. Sweet.! 🙂👍

[@AllSortsOfStuff58]

I love these little Fergies. It'll be fun watching you fix it up...

[@pauljones2633]

Congratulations on the new addition. She looks a nice little honest tractor to be fair. I hope you will do a series on the engine rebuild. I’ve got a Leyland 253 with a Perkins 3 cylinder in it, it breathes very heavy and pranks like a sieve, but to be fair even in the coldest of temps it fires up easily with no heat at all (doesn’t have a heater plug of thermo start)

[@vintagetractorollie9421]

Well done Dan nice to keep her in the village 👍

[@IanFletcher1970]

Good video Dan - look forward to see progress on the overhaul

[@nickhill3362]

Nice purchase Dane them headlamps look great on her

[@charleshart6992]

Great acquisition! A very original tractor, should be a good project!

[@SpudSlingsby]

Machine timelines are good - on a theme like drills over the years (with tractors pulling them) foragers, trailers (size & number of) etc. Sad? Me? hahaha

[@lukehomer35x]

Great video Dan. Glad you have Brought it. Look forward to the next vintage tractor video 👌

[@casto-]

Trust you to go buy it 😆. I’ll look forward to seeing the rebuild that’s gonna come 😁👌

[@iainpaton1865]

Very nice little tractor can't wait to see you working on it 😊

[@douggilroy1188]

great looking wee tractor, glad it's found a good home.

[@Dominiccaseyphotos]

Well wear Dan. The 35x was a great little tractor. Best of luck with it.

[@crimsonsunshine264]

At the end’ Put the stop in 🤣

[@CowfarmerDan]

It usually helps 😆

[@krist876]

Glad you’ve got the tractor now, looks like it’s a A3 152 like a super dexta engine being indirect. I always had it in my head the 35x had the AD3 engine. Learn somthing new every day 😂

[@rogerlinstead5732]

I'm not surprised dan great video always

[@masseyman6290]

Seeing and hearing it on the slurry stirrer surprised me how hard it was working the tractor.

[@CowfarmerDan]

There's 3 blades inside the tank, approx 18" diameter.

[@georgedoorley5628]

back in the day we had a mf 165 and when we had it on a propellor agitator it used to put the 165 on its knees ..........!

[@dougpeterson5257]

Glad to see it do a bit of work, looking forward to future updates on this project

[@roba4297]

Pleased it's having a proper overhaul.

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Dan. Best of luck with your 35x. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼

[@shirleydrury5565]

Good man well done 😊😊😊 keep the old ones going top bloke 😊😊

[@02playman]

Good video Dan - put in a new heater plug and get a new air cleaner top and then use it. That’ll be better than any rebuild. That engine sounds sweet and has good oil pressure so, how much better will it be if you throw a £1,000 at it to rebuild the engine?

[@CowfarmerDan]

Heater plug is on order.

[@shirleydrury5565]

Happy new year Dan to you and yours. Wish you and family all the best for 2024 regards 😊😊❤

[@donnellykieranj]

Another great vintage Thursday video Dan. Just love these videos. Keep them coming, they are top notch, very informative and educational for a bit of an old tractor nutt like myself. Happy new year to you.

[@magpie6648]

When we used to farm years ago grandad had a 35X with a cab, and roll bar (regulation of the time) it was so slow to start and in the end we used to just roll it down the road and bump start it😇🤪 the double clutch was very useful though.

[@jvin248]

I have a TO35 gas model that had sat for a dozen years outside. when first started and for quite a while compression was lower range. Now after stints garden plowing, snow plowing, brush hogging over the last two years I noticed the compression has improved much higher. The rings must have finally loosened up. Your 'new' tractor may be the same.

[@garethparr9482]

Happy new year Dan. Glad to see the o look d girl has found a new home and you are gonna use it for bits n bobs around the farm. Looking forward to seeing the developments 👍

[@bobpaterson1845]

Crackin video Dan 👍 nice original looking tractor added to the fleet, thought she sounded well on the slurry pump and from what i could see shr wasn't blowing a lot of smoke which i was surprised at particularly as it had done no serious work for years 🤔 Happy Healthy Prosperous New Year to all the family 👍

[@richardmorgan5785]

Dad had a 35x back in the day... always lampered in mud and never much brakes 😮 If i remember they were a bit prone to piston liner trouble 😕

[@SusanPratt-ti7xk]

Great to see the old girl has still got life in her my dad gave mum one as a wedding gift and they was married in 1963 still going When dad and mum both died in 2020 I have it now in the shed but have no body to hand on to

[@TheGrimReaper1]

It’s nice to see a 35x in pretty much original condition and that hasn’t been messed about with. I recall my next door neighbour getting a new one. Even though I wasn’t supposed to i really did covet it.

[@CowfarmerDan]

I'm glad it's still in your family.

[@JonDingle]

Happy new year Dan to you and all the family! The first tractor I drove was a Massey Ferguson 35X when I started work aged 15 on a dairy farm. The rest of the tractor's, a Leyland 344, David Brown and an utterly horrid Universal are not memorable for good reasons! 🤣🤣

[@benblackwell8108]

great vid cfd , i had an inkling it would be staying

[@Steve80-90]

Love the content Dan 👍🏻

[@antonyfarming]

Nice tractor sure your sort it out 🤞👍

[@EnidAgnusDei]

And a very happy new year to you and yours.

[@peterobey491]

Well done for saving the 35x Dan, Could you and Dad do a video on the Massey Ferguson Combines you have had ? as I grew up around Massey Ferguson 780 Specials, 515s and 625s.

[@CowfarmerDan]

We've not had many, only the 788 and 400 that have appeared in previous vintage Thursday videos. They only came here as collectors items.

[@wulliewhyte544]

Had a feeling that tractor had found a new home tell your brother you traded in his 7614 for it 😂

[@peterford436]

Excellent work...Nice new project...

[@kieranosullivan02]

good vid dan 👍 those chimneys look extremely tall in the background, never seen any like that before

[@CowfarmerDan]

They're bulk feed bins.

[@CowfarmerDan]

Ah, sorry. The farmhouse was thatched many years ago so that may be the reason.

[@tincan6929]

Hi Dan just looking down the air intake may need a clean well coated with oil soil mix caked on Happy New Year

[@tristangibbs2351]

For a vintage Thursday could you go through the hosier parlour if you’ve still got it saw it on your farm flix video I’d find it interesting after reading his book and getting the literature on the parlours and bails they were making at that time

[@CowfarmerDan]

We only have the shell left, all the interior is stripped out.

[@tristangibbs2351]

@@CowfarmerDan I see makes sense if it was replaced bit of a shame interesting piece of kit he had some interesting ideas on farm management hosier

[@JS-fk9oj]

I had a feeling it would be staying with you somehow or other!

[@calumanderson5617]

Congratulations on buying the 35X, it does sound much better 😊 that's how many 35's you've got now ?? 🤔, I thought you were not buying anymore tractors 😁 would love to hear what your dad's implement stories are, did you have a dreadful Howard 150 spreader on your farm ??🙄 terrific video Dan thank you.🙂👍

[@CowfarmerDan]

There was a Howard here, don't know what number though. Back in those days you needed the right sprockets to match the tractor, maybe yours wasn't matched to the tractor power?

[@calumanderson5617]

Our case it was either sting, greasy dung, or a way to hide either a goat 3040 or a Found on rubbish dump 7600 when the wind blew the right direction to hide who was driving. 🙄👍

[@paulthompson8467]

Congratulations on your new purchase its quite a nice example and will be a nice on going project do you have a 4 cylinder model aswell

[@CowfarmerDan]

Yes

[@galwaypat5744]

Nice video on the 35x .I have a ferguson tef 20 that has oil coming out of the exhaust elbow where the exhaust sits . It hasn't been used for a long time so I'm wondering what should I do with it .Any help would be appreciated .

[@CowfarmerDan]

Try it with some hard work.

[@thepotterer3726]

The best number of members on a committee is an odd number, and that number is one.

[@CowfarmerDan]

I like that, very true 😁

[@greggroome2791]

👌👌👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🙏🙏

[@galwaypat5744]

Hi There Dan .I just come across a massey ferguson 35x that has been sitting outside for a few years . I was just wondering if the engine is seized and what's involved in involved in getting it unseized .Any advice would be much appreciated .

[@CowfarmerDan]

The easiest way to try will be remove the starter and lever against the ring gear with a pry bar

[@draganmilosevic1250]

Hello sir, i have the same tractor Massey Ferguson 35 same mask and motor, from an unknown year of production. It is imported and i want to know how much kilowatts is it? There aren't any marks, thank you.

[@tractorsandtreework]

I have a 35x gd tractors thay are

[@raymondmcalonan9265]

How long had you it on pump

[@CowfarmerDan]

Not long, maybe 15 minutes. It was too much for it really.

[@cahanwelch4506]

I have a Massey 135 and the hydraulics are very slow have you any ideas what could be wrong

[@cahanwelch4506]

I have replaced them last week

[@CowfarmerDan]
