I still have photos of me on the red 35 and 135 from 1974 when I was 16 yrs old which my dad took. Brought back some fond memories. Hope your search works out.
I love the old history of the farm rich brings back so many memories for me of me growing up on my nians farm the good old days keep up the great videos mate
I used to spend all my spare time on the neighbouring farm in the 60's. The 35x was my favourite too. Hated the Ford 4000, DB990 and MF65. In the late 60's a new 178 joined the fleet....that was a nice tractor too. Sounded lovely. But the size of the 35x was its strength, such a useful machine, and the sound of the 3 cylinder Perkins was distinctive. Brilliant corn carting tractor too.
Good luck on your search. Used to restore tractors when I could see in the day. Have you ever thought about the vintage tractor magazine and writing an article for that? 16:42
My late Dad built his own cab on a super major because cabs didn't really exist much but he used to be a contractor and anything was better than sitting in the rain or wearing old corn sacks. Those were the days .
You have answered my question on your fathers tractors with a video! I bet your father did have standard fordson on spade luggs, there were thousands made. As we get older we are drawn back to the tractors we knew when we were growing up, that’s how you want that 35 back! Information wanted in the vintage tractor mags be good idea, it would be great if you could track her down again! Good luck🤞
The cab you had was a Sta-Dri cab with a fibreglass roof. I had a 990 with one on and it was the main tractor on a 400 acre farm. Never noticed poor visibility - especially when it was pouring with rain - and doors easily lifted off in the summer for air conditioning. I’ve just bought a 35 and I’m in the process of rebuilding the engine. I’ve also got a loader like yours which was on a 135. I might just fit it on the 35 and take a picture for you! 😂😂
Great video Richard. I hope you manage to find the tractor. I have a 35x with the registration ANR828B. It was supplied by Tractormotors of Melton Mowbray.
Down in the South East Red was the most popular tractor in the 60's and 70's. When I got a bit of land back in the 80's went looking for a Tractor. All the 135's and 35s were horrendously expensive; because they were being bought up by dealers who were exporting them to Africa and India. I picked up a DB780 narrow Orchard tractor at Ashford Auction for just £398. Sold 3 years ago to a lovely chap up in Northumberland for nearly £3k. I do hope you can find it and restore it - Good Luck!
My first driving experience was on a Massey 35x used to roll fields with it with a little stone roller attached they were the good old days my father retired a few years ago and he was selling all the machinery I claimed the 35x I have it in a shed got it running cleaned it up looking at it brings back those memories as a kid anyway I hope you find one you should go around Massey dealer's they might be able to source one for you or even might be able to locate the one ye sold worth a try at least.
We have had a few tractors on our farm we currently only have a 70,s kubota B7000E in service ytm which is perfect easy to work on when it has any problems and is small enough to fit through narrow gates to mow fields
Hello Mr Cornock, I would say that the reg on the back of the tractor is either YH or YWT 128 OR POSSIBLY 428, its not too clear but that what it looks like on my 19 inch monitor on theatre setting, hope this is some help in your quest, I couldnt find it on D V L A tax and mot site but I,m sure there are other sites you could check there muyst be a Massey ferguson register or owners club good hunting
Used to get good pics on the old Kodak Box Brownie camera I think the film was 120, love those tractors fully air conditioned in use right into the seventies I used to see them working in fields on our way from Paddington to Torquay for our annual holidays in the 1970s sturdy work horses, what I call a proper tractor.👍👍🧐
I love the MF 35. Such a great little tractor not much horsepower but back then you didn't need much HP to power equipment. I miss the days driving about on my uncles 35. The only chance I get to drive a MF 35 is on farming sim
I’d say that is VWT 828 Rich. If you do a DVLA check however it says not found but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not still around but it makes it a bit harder to find. There are other search engines out there but you have to pay. Can’t remember the one I used last ( really helpful) but it traces the full history etc. It was about £35 for two searches I seem to recall. Good luck with the search
Your 35 seems to have the exhaust on the left hand side which would make it a 3 cylinder model. From what I understand the changeover from the 4 cylinder Standard engine to the 3 cylinder Perkins engine took place in 1959. The tractor was originally made in the grey and gold colour scheme, but that changed to red and grey when Harry Ferguson Ltd merged with Massey Harris to become Massey Ferguson in 1957. My grandfather bought one of the last 4 cylinder ones in the summer of 1959. It now belongs to my Uncle and has been fully restored to new condition.
Some nice old photos and memories mr c im looking forward to seeing you and the boys working on doing the Massey up crack on.they is a way you can find out the owner via going on line and looking up i think you have to pay for that check i think its done via the dvla etc,
Richard, If I have understood things correctly the reg no for the 35 is something like 828 YHT or 828 VHT, as HT was a Bristol code in the era of the 6 digit plates, 828 AYD doesn't seem very likely unless your dad bought the tractor in Somerset, looking at the front number plate I'm convinced that the correct no was 828 VHT.
Hi Richard think you got 2 different tractors one with cab and one on buckrake are different to the one your sitting on and one on the loader is different
Hi Rich. I so hope you find your 35 out there- what a find that would be! With the little knowledge I do have though, the FE35 is the 4cyl version which was pre the 35 with the 3 cyl. Looking at the photos, yours does look like a 3 cyl. Just need a photo with the letters on the reg but maybe also one of the MF clubs might be able to help you track it down. Give me a shout sometime perhaps but sooo hope to see you in Sodbury street out on the 2025 Christmas run !! 🚜🚜
828hht is live and taxed on dvla database 1959 massey ferguson 35, just a thought but why dont you contact bristol council archives they may hold the registration card for that reg, if they do it will tell you who it was first sold to and possibly second owner at least that way you could confirm the registration is correct
Should have enquired at the Malvern Show were all those Massey Ferguson's were. Lands End to John o' Groats trip visiting all the 40 Oak trees ? Craic On 👍
Thats very interesting. Do the license plates stay with the vehicles in Britain here in canada 🇨🇦 We only register vehicles and not tractors. Hope you find it best of luck Richard
Lovely pic of you and your Brother and Sister, thumb sucking a lot healthier than cigarette smoking😀it's funny how our looks don't really change that much through life I got a school pic of me an angelic little chap with a lovely shock of ash blonde hair, which is now white and if it was a thatch on a roof it would be taking in a lot of water😂
Hopefully you will find it, silly question but are they the same tractor? One has a roll frame and rear light on the wing and a front loader grill, probably retrofitted.
i think the roll frame was fitted when it became law to have them, maybe it was the same with the lights for highway use. There are no lights on it in the 1970 pic but they are on the one with me and my brother & sister in 72/73
Rich are you sure you only had the one 35 as the picture of the one loading out of the shed has headlights on the top of the bonnet and in the other pictures there are no headlights on the tractor.
Little red tractor😂😂😂 good man Richard, always the entertainer😊❤ my grandfather started with a grey tvo 20 then a 35x😊 what i don't understand is back in our time (1976/1979?) the law said we had to have a roll bar on the tractor (in Ireland at least) so how is it that today there's tractors driving around with no roll bars? After the roll bar went on, d 3:31 ad got an old cab for it and after a bit of head scratching as in how to fit it, the cab went on first then we lowered the roll bar down through two holes we'd made in the roof😅😂😂 In the end the 35x was very slow to start from cold, we bumped started it mostly😅😂😂 goodluck finding yours after 30 years❤
@@thefunkyfarmerthank you👍 over here it was every tractor, most farms it was just family,never hired men.. the farms were too small. Jasus, when i think of the work our 35x did.. amazing really, tough wee things😄
@@steveC2 😆😅😂😂 true enough.. and a lot did🙄 when i was about 6 i remember being in hospital due to a car crash where i'd broken my nose from hitting into the ashtray in the back of the drivers seat🤪 anyhoo, in the bed across the way there was a child of about 1 or 1 1/2 who'd fallen from a tractor and split their head open.. they had an 8" scar with Frankenstein stitches🙄 that was a good warning to me to be careful around machinery.. no tik tok those days😇😉🤪
The letters on the number plate look like YNT to me, but could be YHT. What I don't understand is why the number on the front is 828XXX, but on the back it's XXX828. That's two different number plates!
Love old 35's and 135's. I remember a couple of local farmers had several of them when I was a kid back in the early 70's. Some had those old cabs as well. I don't know if they were Lambourns as I can remember them on International B275's, Nuffields, Ford Majors and Dexters. I'd love one but Mrs M would send me to sleep in the shed... now, would it be worth it?😉
From your photos that is a 3 cylinder Perkins powered 35 not the unpopular 4 cylinder fe35 that got a reputation for bad starting. The exhaust is on the left side of the bonnet when you are sitting on the tractor. On the standard vanguard powered fe35 it's on the right side of the bonnet. Basically the same as your dads diesel t20. So I think you are definitely looking for an early 60s Massey Ferguson 35. Good luck
The one that a view found is probubly not the same one as its registered as an FE35 which are the older grey and gold fergies not the red and grey ones
Probably Exported years Ago . There was a time in the 80’s No one wanted them when the bigger tractors came The MF 165 Ruled the waves for a very long time after. I wish you luck on finding it . PS The summers years ago from that photo proves how good the summer was then .
From the photograph of the rear the reg looks to be either VHT 328/ YHT 328/ VWT 328/ YWT 328. I know that from the black and white photograph it shows 828 but the photograph from the rear is more of a 3 than an 8. Bit of a confusing one Rich and in some photos the numbers come first but in the others the letters come first. Then again them were the days when folk applied registrations themselves. Hope you manage to track it down. Try Classic Tractor magazine etc as not all of us Fergie enthusiasts are on the Internet. HT being a Bristol area code so more likely than WT which is Yorkshire. 828 AYD is very unlikely.
Good evening Richard. Maybe a good idea to get in contact with the mf 35 owners club. They maybe able to help on the search. I did see you and Harry at tractor would. But you was busy filming and I didn't want to disturbed you . Grate to see you and Harry having fun . Very busy day on the Saturday . Good luck on the search. Keep us informed 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think it could be 828 v or ywt. seeing as they look like hand painted number plates did they get it the wrong way about on the rear one and wrote ywt 828. Anyway good luck with your search. I have always wondered where my days 135 went as that was the first tractor I drove on the farm
We had three of those parked up on our farm an one of them my late father said I could have to do up then one day I went back to find my brother had sold all three, needless to say I was absolutely fuming. Then there was an old grey Ferguson live drive which someone never checked the oil level and resulted in the engine fully knackered! Not me I was in the military.
So lets be clear , it was a 35x ? Without a cab ? We have 35x , same loader afair but has square wings, my father bought it in the late 80s , herefordshire.
Richard, did you have the 35 from new and do you know where it was purchased from? Old reg numbers were area specific, so if you know the area it was sold and the year (1959) it should be simple enough to pin down the last two letters of the reg number
Could it possibly be someone else 35 in the picture loading the muck as it has headlights on top of the bonnet a different number plate and a roll bar?
828 VWT ??? I thought from the last picture of the rear. WT would have it as Yorkshire registered when new. It's not taxed on dvla but nor is my old 995 and thats very much still about............... Good luck with finding it. 👍
The tractor on the first pictures has no headlights and 19" front tyres.. The tractor on the last pic seems to have headlights on it and smaller front tyres.. I have 2 Massey 35. One has narrow 19" tyres and the other one wider 16" I think it is.
i have a spare set of wheels here so i think my dad must have swapped them at some point for the wider ones. I'm wondering if the lights were retro fitted in the early 70s
I think the youngest a young farmer can be to drive a tractor is 13 years of age, but only on a low powered machine, is young Harry 13 yet, bet he would love to drive his own machine.
sold a mf 290 rust bucket few years ago went to Egypt i watch the telle when its kicking off out there to see can i catch a look at it😂 your massey is probably out around the pyramids
Good luck finding your tractor Richard. Would be cool to see it all bright and shiny like that one at the show.

Thank you for the comment about flooding in the '70s. The '76 heatwave was such a shock because preceeding summers had been wet.

Although I'm a CASE man myself now retired in the very last 60s- 70s I drove a Massey 35 then 135 great little tractors

Probably Exported years Ago . There was a time in the 80’s No one wanted them when the bigger tractors came The MF 165 Ruled the waves for a very long time after. I wish you luck on finding it . PS The summers years ago from that photo proves how good the summer was then .
Do you know if was a 35x or early 3 cylinder 35. Is there any old records of it.
From the photograph of the rear the reg looks to be either VHT 328/ YHT 328/ VWT 328/ YWT 328.

I went 200 miles in day in a month old MF 290 sankey cab as passenger back 1985. Good old days when 15.
Good evening Richard. Maybe a good idea to get in contact with the mf 35 owners club. They maybe able to help on the search. I did see you and Harry at tractor would. But you was busy filming and I didn't want to disturbed you . Grate to see you and Harry having fun . Very busy day on the Saturday . Good luck on the search. Keep us informed 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Richard, did you have 2 MF 35's as the photo with the 265 has a different reg number ?
no its the same tractor. pretty sure of that. i think the 828 is right
I think it could be 828 v or ywt. seeing as they look like hand painted number plates did they get it the wrong way about on the rear one and wrote ywt 828.
Anyway good luck with your search. I have always wondered where my days 135 went as that was the first tractor I drove on the farm
Enjoyed your video 👌
We had three of those parked up on our farm an one of them my late father said I could have to do up then one day I went back to find my brother had sold all three, needless to say I was absolutely fuming. Then there was an old grey Ferguson live drive which someone never checked the oil level and resulted in the engine fully knackered! Not me I was in the military.
Someone somewere will know we're your tractor 🚜 is . Good luck
So lets be clear , it was a 35x ? Without a cab ? We have 35x , same loader afair but has square wings, my father bought it in the late 80s , herefordshire.
Could it be ywt 828 ?
Definitely two different number plates Richard. The rear view number is HYT something and not 828.
Check d insurance docs if you still have them
I've got nothing from the 35 days. it was 30 years ago we sold it so only these few photos remain
Richard, did you have the 35 from new and do you know where it was purchased from? Old reg numbers were area specific, so if you know the area it was sold and the year (1959) it should be simple enough to pin down the last two letters of the reg number
sadly only my father would know that and he's no longer with us
@@thefunkyfarmer sorry Rich
I know how you feel my dad bought a 35x new in 1963 GSW 192 and I sold it just a few years ago to be restored,but wish I knew what happened to it
Could it possibly be someone else 35 in the picture loading the muck as it has headlights on top of the bonnet a different number plate and a roll bar?
Might help to identify it if you knew whether it was a 35 or a 35x
Did it have 4 or 3 cylinder engine
no idea to be honest. i think more likely 4 cylinder
Looks like a 3 cylinder, 4 cylinder tractors had exhaust on the other side👍
It looks to be a 3 cylinder, early 1960 as it had no air cleaner through the bonnet.
Be nice to get a project for harry and maybe a plough get him in some matches when he’s old enough
828 VWT ??? I thought from the last picture of the rear. WT would have it as Yorkshire registered when new. It's not taxed on dvla but nor is my old 995 and thats very much still about............... Good luck with finding it. 👍
PS If it were 828VHT that would put it as Bristol registered and more likely that it had not moved to far, especially in those days.
yes i'd have thought it was more likely a Bristol reg. It's frustrating i don't have the wheel number plate to go on with certainty
Just a thought Richard, you haven't got any old Number Plates lying about in the depths of the ole workshop or hanging on a nail somewhere ?
from 1960s onwards for the 35 i think
828HHT Massey Ferguson date of first registration march 1960 year of manufacture 1959 cylinder capacity 2500 CC (HT is a Bristol reg) good luck 🤞
FE 35 is a four cylinder 35 was yours a three cylinder?
The tractor on the first pictures has no headlights and 19" front tyres.. The tractor on the last pic seems to have headlights on it and smaller front tyres..
I have 2 Massey 35. One has narrow 19" tyres and the other one wider 16" I think it is.
i have a spare set of wheels here so i think my dad must have swapped them at some point for the wider ones. I'm wondering if the lights were retro fitted in the early 70s
Did u mean 2004 for the mccormick
They look like 2 different plates chap. Did u have 2 35 furgies?
i dont thiso. but of a mystery re the plate
The number plate on the back of the 35 is ywt 118
Isn't your scraper tractor a 135?
YWT 11A Second picture, Not Registered.. A is 1984, or 1963.
If it was 1959 then it can’t be 3 cyl , from the photos it looks like a 1960 onwards tractor
👍👍
what you should get is a ford 3000 or 4000 harry would be happy then
I think the youngest a young farmer can be to drive a tractor is 13 years of age, but only on a low powered machine, is young Harry 13 yet, bet he would love to drive his own machine.
We’ve a 35 bought by my grandfather. I know the sentimental value. But how did you buy the McCormack in 1994. That’s not right 😁
you're right. Harry watched tge video and told me off. i should have said 2004 not 1994
Your mccormick cx95 lp is 53 reg 2003 / 2004 not 1994
yrs your right. i really means to say 2004
I think the reg says....YWT828
sold a mf 290 rust bucket few years ago went to Egypt i watch the telle when its kicking off out there to see can i catch a look at it😂 your massey is probably out around the pyramids
Sure there are two different tractors
Won't massey have a record of every 35 sold with 828 ..... On record Rich??
828 AYD, Tax untill June 2024, no MOT Status found.... D is 1966,
