New to me 1956 TO35

[shinerm02]

So i am sanding the seat pan down and on the bottom the final two layers are grey and then a reddish, which is the primer I'm guessing. So I am thinking that this tractor was early enough in 1956 to be the grey with green as the color scheme.
The serial number is S 169381
Engine # z 134A-601 serial # 1012
Cylinder block 1024942M91

I'm not sure what numbers can tell you dates any better?

Grey and green was the colour scheme until the end of April 1956, according to the PDF chart where this link was kindly posted by Tompet earlier in the thread.

This page suggests it must have been one of the last built in these colours:

If that is correct, they appear to have built more earlier in 1956 with those colours and fewer later with the new colours.
(1956 Serial Nos: 167157 - 171740. Imagine how rare a '54 model would be! :licking:

All things considered, you have a really rare find anyway! :thumbsup:

Wow! My to-35 has a serial number of 169599. Our tractors must have bumped into each other at the factory!
