Massey Ferguson 35

The Massey Ferguson 35, usually shortened to MF35, is a farm tractor that grew out of a project led by Hermann Klemm for Ferguson, first known as the TO35 and sold as the Ferguson 35. It was launched in the United States on 5 January 1955 and in Britain in October 1956, where it was built at the Banner Lane factory in Coventry. It replaced the Ferguson TE20, was rebadged as the MF35 in red and grey in 1957, and from 1959, after Massey Ferguson bought Perkins Engines, used a Perkins diesel engine. Standard, deluxe and utility versions were offered, along with industrial and vineyard types in Britain, and the MF35X of 1962 added a multi-power system that let the driver change gear ratio without the clutch. Over its eight-year British run 388,382 units were produced, licensed builders in India, Yugoslavia and elsewhere carried it on, and variants were still made in 2014.
