Elcheapo serial # is SHM 256698. on the tranny left side is FE 35, below is SHM256698 and below that 189 459 M1. Above the dash plate is
GENERAL REPRESENTANT
NORDISK TRACTOR COMPANY
BORGMESTER CHRISTIANSENS GADE 55 KBHVN. SV. It's got a tach drive on the Dist. housing and lots of other strange stuff.

Got to put a call out to Bill Brox, he might know exactly what that is all about. Yeah, the Standard diesel has the drive off the fuel injector housing. Tachs don't fall far from the tree.

I'm gonna ask the PO if he knows anything about the history and I don't know if this is good or bad to have. SHM for a prefix and Sir John said that is incorrect but it's stamped on the tranny also. Just got thru replacing the advance springs under the points cover with chevy ones, maybe it will smoke like Tony's.I'll keep posting.

Hella is a German make of light usually seen on export model fergusons instead of Lucas or Butler for the home market. Why even the Republic of Ireland used the Hella type while we got the British lights in Northern Ireland. I think your serial number prefix is correct, I owned a couple of these export model petrol engined tractors and they all had the prefix...S=standard width...H= high altitude....M=dual clutch. One of the tractor I owned had the same dealers sign on the dash, I suppose it was exported then imported at a later date.

Or H stands for HELLA. I guess I'll need to make sure the main jet is supplying enough gas. I just talked to the PO and all he knew was he bought it from a guy in Valdosta Ga.Thanks for the info Sam.

From Norway originally, Norway are one of the biggest users of Ferguson tractors and always have been...John(UK)

H is shown as High Compression not High Altitude..They also made a low compression type for areas with poor fuel. For High Altitude they use a much higher compression and they can't be used below about 3500feet above sea level. They made them in the USA but not in the UK. No limitations on UK engines unlike the USA manufactured ones.They did sell the UK tractors with this Engine all over the world and even at High Altitude, just what they did to cope with the loss of power, no-one seems to know now but there must have been some way around this..John(UK)
