Dave- You've got a TO35. I have one too (a '56)
and the decals also say Ferguson 35 (not to35).
To make matters more confusing, I think they
really are Massey-Harris-Fergusons - at least
that's what some of the castings say. But if
you call it a TO35 when getting parts, you'll
get the right ones. Didn't you post on this before you bought it?
Glad to hear it was a live PTO/dual clutch.
My PTO lever also grinds a little when I put
it in, but not major & I can do it when the
engine is running. The dual clutch can be adjusted from underneath (take off the inspection cover). I think there's a bunch
of bolts you set clearances on, similar to
setting value lash. The MF factory owner's manual
doesn't give instructions for this, I just checked. You're probably right about just
trying to break the PTO clutch loose first.
Try a big rotary cutter? Great tractors. I had an 8N before & the
35, particulary with livePTO/hyd, is a lot
more useful. I used a 11 hole drawbar across
the 3PH points for 2 years with the 8N with no
problems. The first time I used it with the TO35, I put a nice kink in it. Guess they
pull/lift considerably harder.
a nice kink in it - guess t
