beige 35

Does anyone know the serial number range for the beige and green ferguson 35. I am looking for one if anyone knows of one.

They were 57's but Richard L. will know where serial #'s started.

The Beige and Grey and/or Beige and Green as far as it sounds they were mixed in together as the dealers ordered them. No paper work has been found showing exactly at what serial number they were started to be painted those colors. The main thing we can go on is the people that have done a lot of research in the past conclude they were started about the middle of May 1956 about the same time the F 40 was put into production. In my opinion they used the Green paint to use it up rather than throwing it out so I believe further into production the fewer green casting tractors were made. The last Beige and Grey/Green was serial number 176340 in Dec. of 1957. This is of course if I have read things correctly and interpreted correctly. Your best bet if you have one of these and are going to restore it as you take it apart look everything over closely. If you take the battery platform out look behind the bracing and see what color is there or under the serial number plate on the dash. If it has been repainted previously it may become harder to find the original paint depending on how good of a job the previous people did painting it. In my research the last 1956 Grey and Green I have found so far is S/N 169005 and the engine for that one was built on Feb. 24, 1956 at the Continental factory. Just to show you the next tractors S/N I have recorded with a color is S/N 169312 and that is a Beige and Green. Here is something from the clubs website that may help.
Evolution of the TO 35 to MF 35

My dad bought our 1957 TO35, painted Beige and Gray used from our friend and neighbor who lived on the adjoining farm,

the owners manual that came with the tractor is copyrighted 1956,
manual appears to have a tractor on the front cover painted Beige and Green, trim of the manual is also green, manual displays the chrome hood name plates with green background colors

I have never seen an owners manual copyrighted 1957, but I would assume it would have the same operational and maintenance information as the 1956 manual.
