Dented T0-35 | The middle of the winter wasn't the best time to own a Ferguson TO-35 standard diesel, well at least ours anyway. Of course the batteries were never real good, so it would get coasted down the hill to start part of the time. With pops at work I get the great idea I will tow it to the edge of the hill with my 47 international pickup. Great idea wrong method.
