Lovely looking tractor. Fond memories. Where is the multi power lever ? Not sure if the sticker on the hydraulic quadrant is correct ? Sorry for being picky, but it looked like it came from the Banner Lane factory yesterday. Excellent work.
Thanks for comment . Agree sticker is not correctly placed . I was not sure of the location of the sticker . Can you share more details about Banner factory
@@FirstmotorsF1M Hi, having looked at the video again, I can see where a blanking plate is in place, instead of the Multi-Power lever. It is possible that the tractor has Multi-Power but it has been disconnected. You have six forward speeds instead of twelve. I think that your tractor does not have pressure control. The black sticker is in the correct place on a incorrect quadrant. A correct quadrant would have draft control with a yellow sticker. The pressure control quadrant would be positioned as yours is now, but would have an extra position, rearwards, for position control with a red sticker. Yours should have the yellow sticker as it is, and a red sticker with "position" next to it. There are pictures on Google showing it. For pressure control to work, you need a pressure control hitch. The Banner Lane factory was located in the UK, on the outskirts of the City of Coventry. They started with the TE20 Ferguson Tractor in about 1947, possibly mid 1946. It produced the famous Ferguson Tractor until 1956. Then the FE 35. By this time (1953) Massey Harris had merged with Harry Ferguson. Late 1957 it became Massey Ferguson. At one time with the 100 Series Tractors it was the largest tractor factory in the western world. Sadly closed by AGCO in about 2003. Production moved to Beauvais in France. That is the short version. I am going to bed ! If you are happy to provide an email address I can send some photos and more information. I worked for a MF dealer for ten years, did a bit with MF Leasing, and the rest of my working life with John Deere Financial. So, not an expert, but I have spent my working life around farm machinery and have a very soft spot for the 135. Good night
