Last August I purchased a 35 MF (gas) Deluxe understood to be a 1965 year model. Serial Number - SGM 244521 Paid $3800 with back blade and boom. Tractor had two owners and had 861 hours with new rubber all around and a new paint job. I believe I paid a small but fair price for a very good tractor. Problems have turned out to be no charging and carburetor needed cleaning. Float was slightly collapsed as carburetor would sometimes leak gas. Float cost $8.00 and gasket was about 60 cents. Ground brush in generator turned out to have an intermittent bad ground. Did take a long time to find. Now I am trying to get the regulator adjusted so it will charge properly. Rear light has a bad ground (minor to fix) and I cannot get the instrument bulb out. A limb grabbed a plug wire while bush hogging and broke the end of the plug. Also limb took my good hat off and the bush hog cut it up. I have six speeds and live power take off. My 35 has a fuel, amp , oil, & temp and proofmeter gauges. A few posts back someone told me that a Super Deluxe had a locking differential. Do not know what else. The biggest problems that everyone has seem to have are water in the oils or carburetor which freeze and breaks something. If left outside water gets in by the shifter boots and eventually freezes. The hydraulic oils get dirt and grime and sludge and eventually do not work properly. I think you got a good buy. I will answer any questions that I know. Sounds like you might have an electrical problem. You did OK. Bill Stanley
