Hi to all, Im new on the forum from Napier South Africa, I have a fifties Ferguson vineyard tractor and was wondering if it was a rare model in the U.K. and the states, cant seem to find another one here in S.A.
 
I've been looking for one Up in the finger lakes, wine country, NY (east coast, USA) for years and haven't run across one yet. My wife does labels for a lot of the wineries up that way so I talk to a lot of
them and they haven't seen them
The west coast, California, USA is were you might still find one. Most of the companies building them were out in Cal.
This one is from Cal. 9n with rims turned out so they didn't hit the fenders. Also seen an 8n vineryard same thing rims out. Easier to find an orchard model around here.

Welcome to the gang.
My narrow version ran a pavement sweeper. A 1972 MF2135. I bet there are/were as many narrows doing industrial jobs than vineyard or close row orchards. Big downside for collectors is there are few 'factory'? markings or designations to show it is a narrow of any model. Was it the French made versions with plaques? Axle casting codes? Atleast on my later version. I have seen a home made vineyard or two... must have been a lot of work machining and welding etc....don't seem like it is worth the effort.... mine doesn't have that much traction compare to my full size 135 or that older 202 next to it.
