MF FE 35 X MF 35 4 cylinder Dash Installaation

John Deere D · Apr 20, 2017

MF 35 4 Cylinder Diesel made in England, Instrument/Dash, Transmission cover, and steering wheel Installed on 1963 FE 35 X 3 cylinder Perkins Diesel (made in England):

Brackets from FE 35 X Dash had to be USED:

As Steering wheel was not to be removed from MF 35 4 cylinder assembly,aperture in DASH allowing steering column to exit had to be changed to allow DASH to move forwards:

Assembly was changed out in 1985:

I now have the original 1963 FE 35 X DASH/INSTRUMENT bonnet and shall install at some time:

We had to remove the steering wheel and everything above the dash panel to remove the dash panel.

I have a brand new one for a great price if you are interested. Primer grey. Will need some paint prep before final coat of paint.

I have both a 1957 Ferguson FE35 and a 1963 Massey Ferguson 35X with Standard 4 cylinder diesel and Perkins 3 cylinder diesel respectively. The dimensions of the dash and bonnet are the same. I find that they fit together much better if the two bonnet clamping pins are used, rather than if the bonnet is allowed to sit loose on the dash. MF Part No 826 870 M1 or Agriline part No 5827. When I reinstalled the dash after a restoration on the FE35, I seem to remember that I had to keep the bolts loose until the bonnet was on and the two clamped together.
