Massey Ferguson 35 (MF 35) tractor restoration project part 1 

Without doubt, probably the best small tractors ever made, MF 35/135/and 200 series .much missed by many ,and cherished buy those that still have them !.

looking forward to part 2 .

excellent video! thanks for taking the time to film it. it was a real treat to sit back and watch for most of an hour.

He knows how to work on that Massey Ferguson. Respect.

All I can say is wow. You are one of the best mechanic ever I like the way you are doing thing so perfectly and carefully which is great keep it up great job my friend.!!!God bless

this is the 3rd restoration project of a MF35..these beasts must be poplular to garner this attention and want of a rebuild..i look forward to this project too..subbed for all you hard work..ty

Great job I appreciate your diligence on a thorough process, and you are easy to follow.

Loved your video! Thank you for posting, You are very talented and thorough in your work.

Got one like that myself. Best tractor in its category for sure. Plus, if you have kidney rocks, that seat will fix it in no time :D

well done sir! like many, I cant wait for part 2!

Thank you sir. Very nice restoration.

great video poul , looks like you had a nice base to start from , well minded and maintained , excellent work , keep up the great work .

I have the same Perkins Diesel engine in my 539 IMT rebuilt engine and painted the tractor about 12 years ago, I have put 2500 hours on it since the rebuild. Still runs good could use a buff job though.

Fantastic job Poul.

WOW Great work so far :) I just brought 1 of these in bad condition. its running fine but I don't think its seen a shed in over 20 30 years. cant wait for part 2 :) :)

I'm looking forward to watching Part 2 next. I think you've done a great job so far, considering the work space you have. I especially like the homemade paint booth, but if I may make a suggestion, don't paint so many things at once, because the shroud was banging into the radiator, as you were painting it. Also, I don't know if you noticed or not, but you were losing paint out of the canister, as you were tilting the gun. With automotive paint & spray guns, make sure you're about 9 inches away from the object you're painting and use nice long passes, not short sprays, like from an aerosol can. I say this as someone who worked for a very well-known hot rod builder who taught me how to paint. Lastly, I know it probably turned out fine, but I would have replaced the #2 & #3 sleeves and pistons as well. The school of thought is that, if one was on its way out, the other two are soon to follow. If you're that far into the engine, you might as well take it all apart, hot tank the engine block, and clean out all of the oil passages with a nylon bristle brush, that way you know your engine is starting out fresh. Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth. Liked and subscribed.

Good job keep up the good work

Love from India. I have massey 241.

still llooking forward to part 2

Anxious for next video to come out.

Old is gold

The head can be from a fordson dexta which have the same perkins engine. Good and interesting video👍

Put burnt oil over the rust it will save it a lot from rusting any more and the nuts open easier after a few days

Forgot to say great job ,but the painting was painfully to watch!.

Brilliant tractor .. I've put many thousands of hours on firstly a Grey and Gold ,, then a Red 35 and later a 35X .. my question is the 3 cyl has a top rating of 47 H P ,,, What do they have to do to get it ?

Great video for me as I own the same tractor. The first music track is beautifully chosen and complements the video perfectly , can I ask you what it's called and who it's by please?

I have the same MF35. And also need restyle. Some one could talk me how it's work draft??

Great video. Did it take you long to complete the restoration and was it difficult. I am going to do up a my 165

Part 2! Part 2! Part 2!!!

Amazing job! I wonder how many days was needed to finish part 1?

Hej Poul. Jeg har lige købt en lille gård på Møn, hvor der er en gammel 35, der har brug for lidt kærlighed.Tak fordi du delte.

Hei Poul, great video. I have The exactly same MF35 "Gråtass" on my farm in Norway. I was thinking about do restoration like you did. Is it difficult to get spare parts to this model?

👏👏👏👏💯👌

How did you get the castings back to bare metal, wire wheel? Was considering blasting mine as it's very rusty but you seemed to get great results.

Hi Poul. I started work on mine, on Møn. Can you tell me please which sites you are mainly using for spares and replacements? På forhand tak.

Very similar

Excelent video. I'm probably gonna do a restoration project on a 135MP. If anybody has any advice on how to clean down the engine etc. for applying the primer that would be great. I will be doing the engine, but theres one problem which im not sure how to tackle, The multipower switch doesn't go up to high. It's got pressure on the pump. So any tips would be greatly appericated :-) I will ofcourse be doing a video on it.

Post 2nd part

youre lucky to have the 3 cylinder version, the original 4 cyl would never start in that snow

Good work but it was totally original and anything is only original once.

IT IS A 35X I USED TO DRIVE ONE ALOS THE BONNET TOP WAS DIFFRENT

I have a 67 Massey any idea why the pto won't lift has oil but thin the lift lever seems to not grab on anything inside the cover

What is the best method for rust removal and prepping for primer and paint?

How to de ruat it,I don't jave a sand blaster!

What do you have there"! To me the tractor seams to be a 35x not just a 35 3cyl, ! Multi power units were mainly fitted to the 35x because of the engine load and clutch load,! I am a little puzzled over the MP fitted to just a standard 3cyl,? Has someone over time tried out fitting a MP to the tractor which can be done"! Also your engine looks like you have steel liners"! where the X has chrome liners, you can see this from the length of the air pipe , to me you have a 35x for sure, Cant wait to see the next stage in your restoration and so far its looking very impressive indeed,

Where did you get the bellow for the MP shifting rod?

35 X Anglais 3 cylindres = 37 français et 42 3 cylindres puis 135 140 145 148 et enfin 152 255 etc ... Amicalement Joseph ( 1955 )

Do u mind me asking you where u got the body parts from hell?

You just rebel the hole thing like new

hvad skete der med del 2 ??!!

But why not change all the cylinder sleeves and pistons at the same time?

I have a Ferguson 35 only its gas

IT is a massey Ferguson 35x

It is a 35x is it not?

no music ffs

Here's my 35X, model also 1964. Runs and goes with no problems, some gaps on lifting arms etc. but engine and transmission works propely. i.postimg.cc/0NqFgrPb/IMG-20180513-200647.jpg

Não dá para ver o cara posta fotos nada a ver

I can buy a mf 35 4 cylinder for 1000 euros

You could just buy a new tractor 😂

Indian tractors are most powerful than England tractors

Just buy a new tractor
