Hi from Australia my dad got a brand new 35x back in 1962-64 and had a saw very much like yours his was red we later used it on our sugar cane farm it cleared the farm after the bull dozer had cleared the tree's and remember driving it when I about 8 years old we later got another one but it was a 4 cylinder 35 we had sandy ground and the little Fergie keped slipping off the hills in young plant cane we later got international tractors but after seeing your video it all has came back to me from my childhood of the 35x.
Dear mister B, the M.F. 35x was about the first tractor I saw up close in my life at about 9 years of age in the Netherlands. and it is still my favorite at68 years old. I dont own one, as much as I would love to, it's just its looks and sound that captured my imagination at a young age. Thanks for posting these wonderful video's, and may 2024 treat you and yours well.
Lovely, fifty years ago I used the MF equipment with an MF-65 Mk2, which you are restoring. The whole MF range is excellent. Interestingly, the MF-35s are now suppling African farmers with hundreds of these excellent Tractors.
Nice looking restoration Richard - Well done. Had a number of 35's and 135's on the farm when I started. A 65 was great but also had a 178 with 4WD. A monster in its day "BEAST"
Great video. I have the other model with the more angular blade guard. Great to have the tractors and implements to go with them… timeless and so useful. Keep up the good work.
Hi Mr B it's the first video of yours I have watched I am ex farm worker some 35 years ago, truck driver ever since with a log burner, chain saw and hydraulic spliter enjoyed the video and I have subscribed
Cheers for the comment and thank you for following. I am very much the same as you but I tend now to keep clear of the modern wagons. Hats off to you for doing that.
Old trucks great to look at but a lot harder work than today with all the modern technology, I started on a old ERF E10 it was a bin, a wouldn't swap a new volvo or Scania today is a dream with auto box and cruise control and to be able to travel fully loaded at 40 ton with no effort, as I said love to look not drive the old ones, thanks for videos.Ray
First time watcher great video I’ve got tractor envy, if I won the lotto I would get myself a tractor outfit just like your buy a woodland and spend allllllllllllll day cutting wood
Thank you. I think we all live in hope of the lotto. Been a working man I have never had big money to buy tractors, but I have been in it now for over 25 years and prices have now rocketed. Never say never.
Those weights are the business, i recall in the mid to late fifties my dad had fifty six pound weights chained to the front axel of the grey fergie whenever he put the potato planter on. Even then we had to get off the seats and the end of the rows when we were planting. We also had a multi power 65, it beat the fordson major hands down for agility.
Years ago all we heated with was wood and coal my Dad and I would take 2 trucks down to Kentucky and get coal then we would come back and go to cutting wood and we used a buzz saw a LOT 👍
Yes cut the dowel off for the saw blades without the hole in the blade my was done to just fitted the blade without the hole it still works ok hope your seals in the pully don’t leak
Do you find your 35x harder to steer with the weights on the front I was just wondering as i am restoring my industrial 35 and I am wondering is it worth putting weights on the front.
Can you help me out with this one, I’ve been paying a lot of attention to your videos of the 35x, especially the saw bench . I’ve just bought a Massey Ferguson saw bench A-LE-A20 and like most it didn’t come with a belt pulley. I have been searching on the Internet high and low and came across one that looks just like yours. It has a number on it next the spline 180 016 m1 and I’m told it is 240mm Centre of spline to centre of pulley, could this be the correct one?
@@JustinMcGregor-r1n I honestly don’t no any thing about the number. All I can tell you is mine is a mhf 180015 m1. One number difference. I the only thing I can say I never no the casting number to be use as a parts number. Sorry I could not help any more
Are the blades available new? Lovely to see the 35 out and about. Out of interest I understand the multi powers have a bit more turn of speed. Is that true?

Thank you for your comment. And all the best to you.
Back in the 1960's we had a saw like this, and we had it on a Ford 8N tractor. Brings back a lot of memories.
Well done old cocker, excellent video. Good to see old grumpy 👍

Great video mr b nice to see some old stuff working away...
Love all the restored items thanks for sharing

Thank you for the comment
Great vid.Remember my uncle having same setup cutting wood around 1965.
Great video! You n your dad made a right job of restoring it! 😀😀
Really like your videos and the standard of your restored machinery is top notch 🤌🏻👍🏻
Great video mr B the 35 looks brilliant, keep the videos coming lovely to see ❤😀👍🏻
Thank you.
Like a hot knife through butter, another brilliant video, cheers
Belting video,belting wood saw keep up the good work
Nar then Richard i see your Lenny was keeping you on your toes lol another great video my friend, what a saw bench made light work of them tree limbs.
Thank you mr.
I agree with you the cordwood saw is a handy bit of kit. I use one myself from time to time. It cost me a bit more than the original price
I’d love to find one in Texas. Do you have any tips?
Thought you'd left the country as i haven't seen you with joe!
Great video, and thank you for making them. All you need now is a log spilter off the hydraulics.
Old trucks great to look at but a lot harder work than today with all the modern technology, I started on a old ERF E10 it was a bin, a wouldn't swap a new volvo or Scania today is a dream with auto box and cruise control and to be able to travel fully loaded at 40 ton with no effort, as I said love to look not drive the old ones, thanks for videos.Ray
Good video . Really impressed with the detail of your restorations . I use a saw the same on my tef20 got a load to do soon .
First time watcher great video I’ve got tractor envy, if I won the lotto I would get myself a tractor outfit just like your buy a woodland and spend allllllllllllll day cutting wood

Nice machine great to give tractor a workout, could blade do with sharpening

Excellent video. Nice set up you have there. Keep the videos coming please. #masseyfergusonruled
Years ago all we heated with was wood and coal my Dad and I would take 2 trucks down to Kentucky and get coal then we would come back and go to cutting wood and we used a buzz saw a LOT 👍
Massy Ferguson's are the best
Yes cut the dowel off for the saw blades without the hole in the blade my was done to just fitted the blade without the hole it still works ok hope your seals in the pully don’t leak
Enjoyed that 👌
Perfection 👍
Nice working saw. I have a saw for my TEA20, but it’s not a Ferguson saw. But it works great.
You sure cut your wood short.
Wonderful video. 😊
65 looking good I’d like to get a mf 148 on 32” backs and 19” front wheels
Ahhh thank you. Yes the 148 dose stand better on a 32. Agreed.
Muito bonito trator bem cuidado parabens❤😊moro no sul do Brasil🎉
Obrigado pelo seu gentil comentario
Great video mr B. £26 wat a buy!! Wat could u get nowadays for £26 not a lot!!
Some consolation to see a 35X resorting to bump start , a 3 cyl .
Great video.
Didn’t release the top link attached to the pulley on these

It’s only noticeable when you’re not moving.

There is a place near Lincoln that can get new blades. The saw point
Seems to be WAY slower than a chainsaw. Does not produce oily sawdust tho.
Great video a brilliant little machine your dad is aright laugh
Can’t beat a 35 x
Don’t you need an orange beacon to drive on the road?
Nice saw, but it looks blunt. Nice massey's.
It’s only just been sharped.
Convert it too v belts if possible
