Fine job you’ve done. The engine is coming off mine for a rebuild tomorrow. Might now go the whole hog with a full restore it. They’re still great little tractors and better than the new compact tractors I reckon.
I just bought a 1957 Massey Ferguson FE35 and just start to repair the sheet metal lot of hard work ahead of me last time I drove one of these when I was 14 years old and I am now 66 years old
When my father was stationed in germany we (my family) would spend some weekends at my grandmas dairy farm in buche,germany .she had a big ole massey 35 and a small single cylinder Eicher that crank started off the front of the engine.Your videos brought back fond memories . I was 6 or 7 i used to start the 35 and cruse the farm and thought tbey didnt know ,im 50 now .good job
So much rust, wear and dents on this one...definately deserves a resto and a caring owner. 35X is one of my favorite tractors and the very first I drove myself at the age of 5...! So sweet to see it finally exiting your shed, GREAT WORK !
Beautiful Job! This was the best tractor Massey Ferguson ever built. I have owned three of them, one with the Italian 4WD modification. I will have to find another to restore as you have done here! Thanks! Great video!
thank you James , i appreciate your comment , makes all the hard work worth while , if you get a chance check out my other restoration videos , i have some new ones coming soon .
Your video almost made me cry, my late grandpa had this exact tractor. I still remember when he used to take me for rides in childhood. I once even drove this while sitting on his lap. Unfortunately, my grandfather is no more, but the tractor, even after 40 years of service is still going strong. And I'll fight to death if any of my uncles ever decide to sell it. I love you grandpa
I rode on my grandads lap 50 years ago. He had a 57 model 35 Ferguson. I plowed many hours with it as a teenager. My dad now owns it and restored it about 20 years ago. Now he mows his property with it. I drove it a few years ago after not running it 30 plus years. I remembered how to choke it, start it, set throttle and run PTO. It made the exact same sounds and had the same exhaust odor. Funny how we don’t forget sounds and smells. I have next dibs on it, even if I have to park it in my driveway. Ours has a hunter green chassis with Kahki colored body which I believe was only used for one model year. Lots of grey and red ones but I’ve never seen another Khaki colored one.
@@Mrgreendragon3 The neighbour must be happy! My neighbour uses his 35x for drawing silage so no wonder she's a wreck. Mighty tractor to still keep going!
thanks for sharing ..awesome resto and pay no mind to the complaints of the music (it's not THAT bad ) and besides they can easily open another window and play whatever music they please simultaneously as they watch this vid
just watched this video right through again ( thats quite a few times now ) id like to think that tractor will last has many years has it is old already all over again and will still be here when we are long gone and cherished by someone else who will also keep it alive .
Great job! That’s a tractor worthy of that work 👍🏻 I’ve got one and it still works away fine other than a few drops of oil here and there when ya crank her up and the obligatory black smoke 💨
G'day Mr Green. I love this vid, I must have watched it 10 times now. you did a fantastic job there. thanks for making the video and what a great choice of tunes too! I wish I knew how to film my fergy resto's and put the vids on youtube. I could probably learn but when I'm working on the tractor I don't feel like taking photos. the only pics I have is when my friend comes over and takes one.
thank you sir im glad you like how it came out . you might have some interest in my latest video of a massey ferguson 135 tractor , its in two parts and it ends up in industrial guise as it left the factory , lot of work went into it but it came out really nice , im just editing part two right now . thanks for watching . best regards terry .
thank you Robin , i got the " clam shell " mudguards from MPA spares Belleek co Fermanagh , northern Ireland , if you google them they will come up and they are very easy to deal with , you can tell them i sent you , they were not expensive and are the correct mudguards for this era tractor , they are very easy to fit using long bolts which locate either side of the rear axle . thanks for watching .
I think he will see his money back eventually. I bought a 35x 20 years ago and it has just continued to work with not much needed. The way prices here in the UK have gone I wish I had had the foresight to by several others back then. As for having an emotional connection - sure - I wouldn't part with my 35x - it would be like selling a grandmother.
Great video. I have one also that I use with grader blade and rotary hoe. Restored about 5 years ago. I am interested to know where your remote hydralics are taken from as I have been considering a mini backhoe attachment. Rick from Aus!
thank you niclas , this one came out really nice , i have recently restored a MF 20 / 135 Massey Ferguson , look out for the full restoration video coming soon !!!
Great video :) I'm probably gonna do a little project on either a MF135 multipower or a 165. And i need some tips On what i should do before applying primer & paint.
hi thanks for watching , the oil breather should slide up through the hole in the bonnet , there might be a clip of somewhere that needs to be loosened first .
Nice restoration done there, Glad you got rid of that horrid looking cab for a rollbar, Not sure why the drawbar is still there,! as it would be nice to have a Pick Up Hitch fitted to her, !! 10/10 of a top job,.
Bonjour bravo pour se travail magnifique c’était pour savoir où tu est aller chercher les pièces et les vue éclater et combien de temps tu y a passer bravo encore
merci Francis Dublé, c'est presque trop dieu pour travailler maintenant !! merci de regarder et de consulter mes autres vidéos de restauration de tracteurs sur ma chaîne.
i will be sure to check them out , thanks for watching and do check out my Massey ferguson 135 restoration , its in two parts but i think you might like them , link here ruclips.net/video/0E9M1rISnYc/видео.html
hi Charles , thank you for the kind words , we source all our parts from MPA spares Belleek , co fermanagh , and QTP tractor spares ltd Ireland . hope this helps , stay tuned for another video coming soon .
i don't think so , it was butchered on years ago , its belonged to a neighbour we just did it up back to factory spec for him , he didn't want the rotten cab and cant say i blame him , your 345 will come out as nice hopefully . regards terry .
@@Mrgreendragon3 thank you it does look better without the cab my dad used to drive a 35 but now he drives the 135 in the cold start video on my channel
hi Fred ( any relation lol ) its been a few years since we did the restoration but if memory serves me correctly it is fitted to the front axle stay bars that connect all the way back the foot plates . thanks for watching .
merci pour vos aimables mots, je suis nouveau dans la réalisation de vidéos et je n’étais pas assez confiant pour faire une voix off, je le ferai peut-être sur ma prochaine vidéo qui est une restauration complète d’un système complet de restauration d’un MF 20 industriel jaune 135 massey ferguson, séjour à l'écoute et merci de regarder, n'oubliez pas de commenter, noter et vous abonner pour un meilleur contenu. Je vous remercie .
It was a Ford cab. MF 35 was never offered a cab. A heathouser option, yes, but not a full cab. You could look and tell it was something somebody jury-rigged on there.
This looks like a Sekura cab, was and aftermarket cab fitted to 35s and also 135s and others. I believe that Sekura supplied custom brackets and panels to suit MF 35, etc.
thank you GUY , apologies for the music it was all i could download without a copyright strike from you tube !! unfortunately i dont have any audio of the tractor running but trust me she purrs like a kitten , thanks for watching and please check out my other tractor restoration videos on my channel .
@@Mrgreendragon3 ah class Been thinking I need the old mf35x brakes and perhaps add a few hydraulic spools for the rear. Displays and lights fixed. Thing’s to be straightened up But keep the old patina look :) Should it be something I learn and do or just pass on to those who know, that’s the dilemma lol Are you Based out of Connaught, Leinster, Munster, Ulster ?
@@bobgallaghar4716 yes peter , as you can see in the video what we do with all of our projects is to strip the tractor right back to nothing then a de-grease and pressure wash then wire brush everything to get it as clean and rust free as possible then maybe another wash and start prepping for paint . slow tedious work but the results speak for them selves as you can see in some of my other videos . thanks for watching .
Looking great! I have to ask though. Ok, this is a farm tractor, so.... WTF is with the "Ball Hitch" on the draw bar??? This thing pull a boat trailer to the lake? A travel trailer for Holiday? LoL
thanks hawkdaddy64 and apologies for the music , unfortunately they do not pay me ha ha but i thought the video would be boring and long without some accompanying music , i will try to source something more upbeat the next time , or you could always mute the video lol . thanks for watching and check out my other tractor restoration videos on my channel , naff music included .
thanks darragh , she came out well alright , the owners choice to have the roll bar and he does a lot of road work with her so safer too , i prefer them without the bar too but not my tractor unfortunately .
we recently restored a Massey Ferguson 135 but we put it back into the yellow industrial finish as requested by the owner , she came out nice , im trying to get a video together of the restoration so hopefully it will be coming soon .
Nice work. A. lot of cleaning and painting. The small rollers you found in the filter on the hydraulic pump looks like they can be from the pinion gear bearing. I am working on the exact same tractor. Please check out my channel and video.

You can't beat Massey Ferguson, we've had a 35x for the last 30 years and it's still going strong.
Best ever little gem of a tractor and have one myself, priceless.
Beautiful Job! This was the best tractor Massey Ferguson ever built. I have owned three of them, one with the Italian 4WD modification. I will have to find another to restore as you have done here! Thanks! Great video!

This thing has ground speed PTO as well as independent. Double clutch. Torquey. Sips fuel. Will start.
thanks for sharing ..awesome resto
and pay no mind to the complaints of the music (it's not THAT bad ) and besides they can easily open another window and play whatever music they please simultaneously as they watch this vid
Looks very nice, That's alot of work but well worth it, Handy tractor to have around. Massey always did build a good tractor. Keep smiling.
thank you sir .

Good video, but that music was annoying as hell!
Peter Mashak thank you Peter 👍
Music wasn’t that bad
@@andrewdavies438 Yes it was.
I like si solo esta maquina se Fabricará aquí se abririaa un gran futuro.. falta un tractor basico asi..

very good job, doing my 35 soon, where did you get that tow ball from to go on the drawbar???
Great job.
thanks Johnny .
Fantastic job, well done. How did you find the drop down mudguards? They didn't make it difficult to mount? Would you recommend them?
thank you Robin , i got the " clam shell " mudguards from MPA spares Belleek co Fermanagh , northern Ireland , if you google them they will come up and they are very easy to deal with , you can tell them i sent you , they were not expensive and are the correct mudguards for this era tractor , they are very easy to fit using long bolts which locate either side of the rear axle . thanks for watching .
Great video
Looks great I've got one like yours didn't need as much work as yours and how long did it take to restore yours
What is called the body part section(Housing) that holds inside the Hydraulik pump?
Great vid
Great tractors!
What a pearler!
Well done must have been a labour of love.
Beautiful job! Must have an emotional connection with that tractor because for sure you have more time and money in it then it is ever worth
I think he will see his money back eventually. I bought a 35x 20 years ago and it has just continued to work with not much needed.

Great video :) I'm probably gonna do a little project on either a MF135 multipower or a 165. And i need some tips On what i should do before applying primer & paint.
On the Body and the tinwork That is
Clean it and treat rust if you can remove any other paint and just sand it a bit.
Hey dragon great tractor
hello . where are the vin/chassis number on these? thanks
Looks great. Wish I had the same ability. To good for work though.
Good job, is there much of a difference between a 35 and a 35x
amazing job
thank you sir .
hi . how do you get the bonnet off . does the oil breather come off first?
hi thanks for watching , the oil breather should slide up through the hole in the bonnet , there might be a clip of somewhere that needs to be loosened first .

Why don't people keep the cabs on them?
It was a Ford cab. MF 35 was never offered a cab. A heathouser option, yes, but not a full cab.
You could look and tell it was something somebody jury-rigged on there.
Ken Arnold our 35 has a duncan cab on, and it was put on it when the tractor was made in 1959 in bannerlane
This looks like a Sekura cab, was and aftermarket cab fitted to 35s and also 135s and others. I believe that Sekura supplied custom brackets and panels to suit MF 35, etc.
Music's to loud and annoying apart from that thumbs up its a great video I'd rather hear it running than listen to the music.

What did you use to sand down the tractor
a couple of 4 inch grinders with wire brushes attached , slow dirty work but less harmfull than the dreaded sandblasting, thanks fot watching Peter 👍👍

WTF is with the "Ball Hitch" on the draw bar??? This thing pull a boat trailer to the lake? A travel trailer for Holiday? LoL
Could be used for cattle trailers, small car trailers or weed lickers plenty of uses on a farm for a ball hitch
