massey ferguson 35

Hi all, I have a 1965 Massey 35 with a petrol (gas) engine. Being in Australia, the engine is a Standard 87mm, which I believe is different to the Continental that North American 35's have. I'm searching for a manual to assist with an engine rebuild. I have a pdf copy of the widely available...

I just bought a MF 35 tractor with a loader. UGF 655000100 It’s in rough shape but it starts and runs and the loader works. I don’t know the exact year it is a gasoline engine and as near as I can figure it’s a 1957. There some questions I have about operating it

Hi, I have a MF35 with a front end loader fitted which requires new front tyres. I was looking for some thoughts on what type of tyre to choose, particularly around the choice between tri-rib or implement (which have a much lower tread profile. It currently has implement tyres on the front but...

Our house and outbuilding were destroyed by a tornado last Friday. My wife and I were home with four of the kids and thankfully there were no injuries. The MF35 Utility survived, despite the building around it being blown away, with the lights broken off and the loader control valve for the...

Good evening, I finally got around to pullin my pump and watched several YouTube tutorial's on how to do it. This is on a 3 cyl perkins The good news is the leak seems to be fixed and it started! Bad news is it goes full rpm after it starts and I have to kill it by pulling fuel stop. I am...

Looking for new multipower parts to fit to a 35x as it had previously been disconnected

Hello I’m new to all this so please excuse anything I’ve just overlooked. I have a 1964 MF 35 - I’ve recently replaced the lift pump (it wasn’t delivering about fuel to the engine which kept cutting out) I replaced the whole pump. The replacement part was listed as suitable for the 3 cylinder...

I've also posted my 8n HERE This restore happened over several years and 3 owners. The person that started it did an amazing job. Way better then I would have. They rebuilt the motor and tranny. They patched up most of the rust, actually welded them in and ground them down till they looked...

Hi, I have a 1962 Massey 35, UK built, that has some hydraulic pump issues and needs repair or replacement. Massey have 3 Marks of pump of similar size and shape and I don't know how to identify what Mark is in my tractor. I believe my tractor is old enough to have come with a Mark 1, but the...

Hi, I had this posted in Massey Vintage and no replies so trying here instead. My MF35 has lost it's lift power on the three point linkage. I occurred after I was installing a diverter valve to the the external cap. The stand pipe was lifted clear when the external cap was removed, so I...

Hi, My MF35 has lost it's lift power on the three point linkage. I occurred after I was installing a diverter valve to the the external cap. The stand pipe was lifted clear when the external cap was removed, so I replaced the o-rings (Sparex supplied) and their backing washers top and bottom...

Hi, I recently purchased a loader from an MF35 to fit to my MF35. Loader fitted well. It's old school, but so is the tractor. Problem is, I can't get any action on the hydraulic rams. Set up is an isolater valve installed to the top cover which I believe acts as an isolating diverter to stop...

Hey guys, I recently posted in the Hydraulics forum but haven't gotten replies yet. I'm hoping that by posting here in the MF forum, I can direct some attention to my post over there (click here). My loader valve needs replaced. See the other post for details. Thanks!

I have a Massey Ferguson 35 Utility tractor with a Davis 99 loader. The bucket sags off with any load on it and my testing shows that it's the control valve, not the cylinder. I was reading another thread about running single action cylinders on a double action valve. The consensus seems to be...

I want to remove the engine cover (hood, bonnet, whatever you want to call it). I am on my own for the moment, am I likely to manage it myself or should I wait until I can find a helper? I was going to remove the front lovered grille panel first, as it looks heavy... i am removing it as I am...

Ugh. So here's the scenario- I was using the flail mower to cut down some tall grass, cut some paths through my field. Was running the machine for maybe 1.5-2hrs. Temp gauge never moved, oil pressure good, radiator full, and clear of debris, oil is full. I noticed it was starting to feel low...

I would like to buy and use a hydraulic post hole borer to run on the front loader of my little MF35. I know the stock hydraulics won't run one, the auger I am looking at ideally needs about 35 litres a minute. An absolute minimum of 25 litres a minute. Can I find a suitable PTO pump to give...

I took the fuel tank off my MF35 to (try to) repair a leak. Ouch, it gets expensive when gas is leaking out of there! I see the valve covers are now accessible. Does the gas engine require periodic valve adjustment? If so, I might as well do it while the tank is out. I checked the service...

Hi, I am working on a misfire on a 1962 Massey 35 petrol (gas) 87mm Standard Motor Company engine and am considering compression issues. It's the low compression 6.0:1 ratio. Does anyone know the expected or "correct" compression results, dry and wet if possible, for this motor or similar...

My MF35 Utility (gas engine) leaks power steering fluid. I suspect it's going into the crankcase. I have googled for a replacement seal but am not sure if the MF35 utility uses the same power steering pump as the regular MF35. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is it a difficult...

Hi can anyone advise what spark plugs I need for my tvo 35 . I'll be using mainly petrol I guess and the ones that are in now are champion n8,s. Look like they've been in a while. Also any thoughts on electronic ignition? Thanks

I am new to the forum and new to tractoring. I purchase a Massey Ferguson 135 Perkins Diesel and am now looking for a PTO snowblower (we get a lot of snow in Temiscaming, Quebec). I have some questions about size of snowblower and compatibility of the PTO. I am looking at a snowblower that was...

my 35 diesel power steering pump will not keep fluid in the system. i believe the seal to the pump thru to the block is blowing by.do they make a rebuild kit for this? 773126M92 is the part # on the pump.

I have an fe35 massey that has developed a leak at the injector. It does not appear to be coming from the high pressure line or leak off. I don't think it's coming from the cap either. Can it be coming out of the injector while it's in the block? The leak doesn't start immediately upon...

Hi, started the repaint and tarting up of the 835-ds, (which is basically a 35) and so far so good. If you are in europe have to recommend Tracteurbits.com for all old tractor parts. great service and very reasonably priced. Anyways, need a bit of help identifying the reason for two studs and...

I have a Massey 35 with the 23c 4 cyl diesel. I've been picking away at fixing things on it and have it to the point where it will start well in winter. Incidentally rewiring the tractor an increasing wire sizes to the glow plugs and ignition had the most benefit. A new timing chain and...

Thinking I want power steering on my Massey 35 Perkins diesel but I don't want to buy the kit. I can piece this together using a hydraulic cylinder and you can purchase a steering pump that fits right onto my engine. What I am not clear on is the orbital valve or whatever it is that tells the...

I am replacing the headlights on my MF35 utility. Again. They used to look like this. Then they got crushed when a wind storm blew in the overhead door, which then landed on the tractor and took out the lights. So I bought a pair of these and mounted them in the same place, on top of the...

Hi all, recently purchased an MF35 with a new radiator and water pump. the old owner recommended I drop the water and add 50/50 mix of coolant. The water is quite brown when I take of the rad cap. Questions I have are; - what will the procedure be? (remove bottom hose? warmed up or cold...

Good Morning, I am wondering if there is such thing as too large of a backhoe to install on 35 utility tractor.

I'm currently doing some tune up work for my father-in-law on his MF35(1963 model). It has the Continental Z134 engine. I pulled a spark plug out today(not sure if they have ever been replaced). On the end of the plug was an outer sleeve that was threaded into the cyl head. It had an...

I got a old mf35 gasser just to bushog with. I don't have a over run clutch for the bushog, mf35 has multipower and I know high locks in the motor with engine braking but free wheels in low so would it be better to bushog in low or high?

Hello everyone, Well the ol' 35 with the 3 cylinder perkins had a bad injection pump, I replaced it with a new one, fired right up after cranking for a couple seconds, but now there is a distinct knock as if the timing off. My "score lines" on the pump and the housing match up perfectly. My...

The old Massey Ferguson 35 gets few hours any more, restricted to loading the odd log and powering the winch on its hitch. Without indoor storage for it, I'v learned to deal with a flooded air filter from time to time. A big knot of duct tape upstream of the air filter has largely kept the...

Hi, I have a gas powered MF35. The tractor came with the house when I bought it a few months ago so I don't know anything about it. The Diverter valve is jammed up and only allows me to use the front loader. The existing Diverter valve is the push pull type. I am unable to find another one like...

I have a 1955 Ferguson 35 tractor and have found a Kelly 41 backhoe. The tractor has a very heavy Davis 102 loader on the front so my question is will it handle this hoe?

When I purchased my Massey Ferguson 35, the lift would raise and lower, but it was slow and jerky. I just changed the trans/hydraulic fluid and filter and found that there was a good deal of water in the bottom of the case (from old and cracked shifter boots and it was left outside). Now, when...

Hi All, Just purchased a MF35. The previous owner said that the PTO would not engage, so I got it at (I think) a good deal. Well, I got it home and started tinkering around and found that I was able to engage and use the PTO to bush hog with the lever in the "Ground" position. However, I...

I'm adding some rear hydraulics to my 1964 MF35 in preparation for my log splitter project. I was going to run the supply from the divertor valve I have for my loader, but was thinking of using the tipping trailer feed instead. Can someone tell me the thread for this pipe? I suspect its about...

MY FERGUSON 35 DELUXE OIL LEAK AT FILTER HOUSING How to fix this. Never leaked before. Now leaking where filter housing seats on engine block despite several gasket changes. ? ? Permatex on both sides of gasket ? Thanks for any help here .:confused:

Hi all. Following the success of my loader renovation, I am now building a log splitter for my 1965 MF35. I have a valve and ram, but I dont see where I would send the hydraulic fluid back into the tractor. Can anyone help in this regard? Thanks, Jim

I have an old 1955 Fergson 35 (Massey Harris Ferguson), with a Davis 102 Loader. It has a Cesna 20GPM pump mounted on the front of a recently rebuild Continental 4 Banger engine. I need a hoe from time to time, and being in Canada I get raped to order anything. I thought for random weekend...

So I have a new to me Ferguson 35, 1955 Vintage, has the Massey-HArris-Ferguson tag on it, and a Davidson or Donaldson 102 Loader. Got it with the 4 banger gasser engine, the fellow I got it from had it rebuilt with reciepts, so it runs great. Has the calcium filled tires, a few dents, but...

I have a Massey 35 deluxe that I recently purchased as our first tractor. I don't have a lot of seat time but when I was moving a heavy 6 ft brush hog I heard what I can only describe as piston slap with lift at idle. I also have a 5 ft land pride tiller that is pretty heavy, too, but doesn't...

This is my first tractor and I'm having trouble identifying the year of this tractor since the serial number does not match anything I can find on the Internet. It looks like the original paint color was an industrial yellow. Does this model match up to an industrial version of an MF35? Anyone...

OK, my MF35 is making so much oil that I have narrowed it down to the Injector pump, I first replaced the fuel pump, but oil/fuel is pouring out of the dipstick hole at around a cupfull per minute. So I don't think it is blowing by the rings at that rate because it is running just fine. My...

The single cylinder bucket that came with my Davis 101 loader has been repaired and modified a number of times and its pretty well beat. Floor is rusty, cutting edge is bad and the mount for the hydraulic cylinder needs rebushed. I'd like to replace it rather than put work into it. Do the...

Well, my dealer pop tested my injectors today and found one that was junk as he put it. They also dicontinued that part. Can any of you all recomend where i can get a replacement or rebuild? It is in a Perkins 3.152 diesel. Thanks

Hi, The pictures below show the cylinder head from a 1958 Massey Ferguson 35 Petrol/TVO. The larger hole with the arrow pointing to it had an alloy "bung" screwed in flush and goes into the water jacket of the head. This "bung" wasn't in very good condition and during the cleaning process the...

I am so confused about the MF 35 Models. The confusion is the 4 so called models of the 35. There is the 35-35X-35 Special and 35 Deluxe. So would somebody please tell me if all these models exsist and what are the differences or is one the same as the other. Is there any MF 35 specialists out...

I put in a sealed bid on a MF 35 3cyl. Perkins Diesel with multi power and power steering. No diff. lock. How can you tell if its a 35 or 35X. Best i can tell its a 1961. I saw a 1961 on the internet that had the same air breather. Serial # falls in the 1961 era. Was multi power offered on the...

Hello New to the forum. Looking forward to all the information available. Having a little trouble finding a thread that addresses my issue so I'll post something here and see what happens. I have a Massey Ferguson 35 Turf Special. I have a power steering fluid leak in the steering column, at...

I've got a broken piston in the internal pump. Debating whether to buy a rebuild kit, or a good used pump from a local dealer. Difference is about $70. I'd prefer to do it myself but don't want to have the tractor down too long. Is it a couple hour job once the pump is removed?

Can some kind owner with an older MF, ideally a 35 (but a 100 series would probably do), with a front loader on, please let me have some details of the hydraulic hose routing from the diverter valve to the loader cylinders? Its the last part of my rebuild, and I cannot see how to route these...

Can anybody tell me where I can get 2 hydraulic oil feeds from my MF35 to run a hydraulic log splitter fitted to the 3 point linkage. The log splitter has 2 feed pipes to its control lever valve. Kind Regards Steve (Selby UK)

Hi all. I've just started renovationg a front loader for my Massey Ferguson 35 (1964). The rams are quite corroded with patches of rust along their length. Can I just remove the rust with emery? Should I attempt to recon the struts, or fit them and see how they go? I have today got them...

Hello folks, glad to join you. Been visiting this great site for years but now I have a quick question regarding my MF 35 with Continental gas engine. Tractor sputtered today like it was running out of fuel on 3rd hour of mowing so I shut it down to find out top of tank wet with couple...

I am a new member. I am considering buying a MF35 Diesel Deluxe tractor. Serial SNW250152. The pto will not disengage with engine idling with clutch down all the way down. Also to engage the pto you have to force the pto engage lever in and of course it grinds until pto is in. What could be the...

Ust bought a 1963 MF 35 and it has no tach or evidence of ever having one. Anyone have any history on this? NR Eric owned a tractor with no tach.

Does anyone know the original color of the grill on a 1962 MF35 Deluxe? Mine is painted silver like the rear rims. Tractor has been repainted in the past, very poorly I might add. Any help greatly appreciated. Getting ready to paint as soon as rain quits.

I am going to rebuild my Perkins Diesel. The serial number is CL 1856896 C. For some reason this number doesn't seem to want to cross over to a A3.152 Engine. Also, the injectors are straight up and down in the head but I am told this is an indirect injected engine due to the fact that it has...

I am new here to the forums, but I have searched hi and low on the internet for some "how-to" info on this tractor and have come up short on a few things. At the moment I have no brakes on this tractor, I am fortunate to have level land, but for safety for others how may use it I need to get...

I thought I would give these forums a go and see what help is available for a beginner like me. I got given this mf35 from a christian camp on the beach where it has been languising for several years with little care. I was told it was running only six months before and the engine turned so it...

I'm looking to give my old 35 a rest and was looking at the 2605 as a replacement. Old faithful is great at pulling a small scraper, gill pulverizer, and small brillion seeder for small landscape projects and I'm wondering if the 2605 would be a sufficient replacement. 4WD isn't necessary for my...

Soon I will be locating and eventually purchasing a Massey 35/135/150 and thought it would be prudent to locate a source for OEM Owners/Service/Parts Manuals. I have seen a number of people refer to sources on eBay but I no longer trust/use eBay or PayPal due to rampant fraud and would like to...

Hi everyone, im a newbie to tractors but could do with some advise. I have a massey 35x of which i believe is standard. I have recently had my trailor taken away to be refurbished, so i have borrowed a trailor from a local farmer. Problem is his trailor has quick release hydraulics for the...

Hi guys, New problem with my old FE35. I was just out slashing, and noticed it sputted a bit, i thought ok, small fuel starvation. As i turned the corner, it sputted more and she stopped running. Cant start it again. Fuel tank is nearly full still. I am guessing fuel blockage?. What can i...

My MF35 Utility needs rear tires. I currently have Goodyear Industrial Sure-Grip 14.9x24 R4's, loaded with fluid and iron wheel weights. The tractor is used for mowing the field, moving snow, loader work and plowing the garden (in that order). The R4's I have now have not impressed me with...

I have a nice little MF35, that i use for moving bales and general smallholding duties. I have an old cable driven post knocker for it, and it is showing up some wear issues on the lift arms. the knocker is totally stable and accurately adjustable in one plane, via the male and female threaded...

Can anybody give me some advice on how to get the dash off my MF35 to reach/replace the gauges (stupid question because I'm sure most of you can:laughing:)? I've got loose wires up under the dash, the hour meter doesn't work, and I'm not sure about the temp. gauge so I want to replace them all...

I have a Massey Ferguson 35 older Model (60's) and it is stuck in 2nd gear. I have always been able to get it unstuck before but this time I haven't in spite of trying everything I knew to do. Can someone out there give me some advice and direction that will help me with this situation. I would...

Hello all. I'm new to the site and appreciate all help I can get when repairing my tractor. Thanks John

I have a 1962 Massey Ferguson MF 35 S/N SGW 226417. While searching parts catalog I found MF 35, 35 Special and 35 Deluxe. What is the differences and how can I tell which one I have. It is Z134 gas, no power steering, single clutch, no differential lock. Can anyone clear up the Special and...

When we bought our farm I purchased a 35 Massey Deluxe. Used it to clean the place up. Bush Hogging hedge rows, moving logs, digging holes for trees, spreading fertilizer and lime at 4,800 hrs it was running fine except for a knock coming from the bottom of the engine. A bearing or wrist pin...

I am looking at a Massey 35 for sale with a perkins diesel. Any one out there own one, and can give advice on what to look out for while I am checking it over? Thanks, Dave

I am planning on taking a drive to look at a Massey 35 diesel with a perkins diesel, new tires with rims sandblasted and sealed. Is there anything unique to Masseys that I should look out for? Thanks, Dave

I have a probably leaking diverter valve on a 35, as when its set to loader and the control is on 'up', the 3ph lifts first, then the loader lifts. If its set to external (ie tipper trailer) it doesnt do this. I can only conclude that the diverter valve seals are leaking, and allowing pressure...

For almost the same cost I have located three older tractors nearby. All are gas engines, the Deere and IH don't have working tachs so no real idea of the hours. The Massey has about 1800 hours on a working tach and that seems reasonable given the history as a small tobacco farm tractor. The IH...

Hi guys, I need some help. I have lent my MF35 to my son, who had some issues with the tractor starting. He suspected bad/old battery so took out the battery from his V8 ute and put it in the MF35. He turned the key and there was sparks and a click. He replaced this with the original battery...

I have a MF35 with a bad generator. Any thoughts on rebuilding the generator vs buying an alternator. If I go to the alternator I will need a kit to line the pulley up. Currently none of the gauges work or the tach, but would like to fix these. I am new to the tractor experience. All ideas...

Hi, I've got a petrol MF35 and its only running on 3 cyls. #3 cyl has no compression and I'm suspecting a burnt valve. A mate has offered a cylinder head from a TEA20. Does anyone know if this is the same head, or whether it will do the job? Thanks in anticipation Al

Hi,I have a mf35 with z134 gas engine,I just bought this tractor I have a problem with power. It runs good but when I drive it and start going up a small hill it try,s to stall. If i give it more gas it keep,s going and runs good.I looked at the governor assembly and the part where the round...

Hey guys I do not think my Gen is working. I'm not familiar w/ Gen.s so what should I see as output? between what? I assume there is a voltage regulator(I see what looks to be one on the left side) just no rectifier or diode bridge as in a an alternator correct? If someone could breifly fill me...

Hi - a neighbour has asked me to help make him a copy of an original massey 35 counterbalance weight for his '35 There is some discussion about it being off centre, and sloped so that it 'locks' onto the stabilising arms on the 3ph Is there a drawing of one somewhere - I cant seem to find one...

Hi, I got a massey ferguson 35 wiring harness (loom) from sparex, but the colours don't correspond with the manual colour coding. Can anyone help, please.

Hey yall, Just picked up my first tractor the other night, a 1960 MF35 with the perkins diesel. Runs like a swiss watch. However the trans case fluid is white-grey, meaning its got water in it. Im assuming the water got in through the shift boots, which I replaced today(and zip tied em tight...

I bought a 1962 Massey 35 this past summer that has a crack in the manifold. I purchased a new one that arrived today but I've been worrying for days about "what if...". What if I try to take the old one off and snap off one or more of the bolts? The tractor itself is in pretty good shape and...

My old 1960 MF35 started up well enough in the cold, but it wouldn't rev up. I gave it more throttle but it wouldn't accelerate. Soon I noticed a cloud of dark smoke behind. It didn't improve, so I put it back in the garage. Yesterday I needed the loader, and it was no better, though upon...

Hello everyone, I have massey 35 running a perkins disiel engine. The fuel is going into one side of the pump and not coming out the other I think the fuel cut off is playing up does anyone know how hard to fix and if I need to remove the pump to fix the problem. Thank you in advance. Cheers Joyce

New member here ...im looking for information regarding a Massey 35 utility. it has the forward reverse shuttle shift and im wondering if this tractor could be converted to live p.t.o. ? Is it a matter of installing the double clutch or would the whole back end need to be changed (and tranny )

Hi All, Been doing alot of searching for understanding what is on the CD that pertains to the MF35 (specifically the Perkins Diesel). Does anyone have it and do they believe the amount of content specific to the MF35 makes it worth hunting down? Just for the sake of clarity, I did find his...

I've got water in the tranny/hydraulic fluid again after putting out $140 for a new round of permatran. I figure it's due to residual left over fluid in the tranny/pump. The change I did, I did pour about 2 gallons of diesel in there, but didn't turn the tractor on to circulate it (I would...

I'm trying to understand, I believe this is a diverter valve, but looking for confirmation. Since this picture has been taken, the seals have broken down and it no longer functions. It's leaking fluid from the handle and as well, I see the oil seal on the other side of the valve. The front...

MF-35 (FE-35) parked until I figure this out. - TractorByNet.com Thanks, I have suspicions that this is the filler hole, but I would appreciate confirmation. Also, I'm asking a hydraulic related question for safety in there as well.

Hi All, I'm looking at picking up a 1958 Massey Ferguson 35 which, according to the Serial number (SNM) is a Perkins Diesel w/ Two-stage clutch. What comes with it is a Bush Hog SQ60 and a Rhino Blade (looks to be about a 5'). And, they put a custom loader on the front (or at least I...

So heres one I cant quite figure out. When I try to start my Massey 35 it doesnt turn over and I hear a fast clicking sound (like a relay opening and closing) down in the "electronic" of the tractor. At first I thought it was a low battery which was odd because the battery is only a month or...

Will be doing a R&R on the rad in my MF35. How difficult is the job? What I see is 2 nuts on the bottom, a support rod with a cotter pin up top, and that's all. Does the hood need to be removed to allow the rad to come out? Are the bottom bolts removable from the old rad so they can be re-used...

The hydraulic arms on my 35 will not go down? sometimes when I haven't run it for a while it operate the way it should and then it will bottom out at the top and will not go down unless it sets for a few days. This tractor has a FEL on it and a selector valve. When the lift will not go down the...

I've got a Massey 35 (3 cylinder) that is hard to start, bogs down easily and exhaust huge amounts of black smoke. From what I've been able to glean in research, this is likely and fuel/air issue. I changed both fuel filters, removed and had tested the injectors, one turned out to be faulty...

I recently traded my '60 MF35 diesel in on an '88 MF240. The dealer gave me $2400 and the only issue my MF35 had was a leaking injector pump. Did I get a fair trade value? I owned the MF 35 for 12 years and had the engine rebuilt about 8 years ago. It ran great, had new tires, 12volt conversion...
