MF TO-35 Serial Number decoding mystery

I recently bought a Massey Ferguson TO-35 Gas with a serial number that does not match patterns I've seen for regular Ferguson nor MF.

Tin is MF faded red with Massey Ferguson decals, ID plate says TO-35 # SGMI80620

So was this a late S-outhfield road factory G-as Engine, MI-chigan factory assembled using up TO-35 parts after the merger?
Perhaps some sort of prototype but the serial number sequence is too high for that kind of affair.




MF-35 serial numbers
1960 204181
1961 211071
1962 222207
1963 235123
1964 247605

Ferguson TO-35
1954 140001
1955 140006
1956 167157
1957 171741
1958 Gas Del 178216
1959 Gas Del 188851
1958 Gas Sp 183348
1959 Gas Sp 185504

I think this article will explain it for you.

Hey, thanks!

I guess the 'I' threw me the most as they used it as a number 1.
Plus they did not use any letters on the '55 TO-35 that I have from the old family farm.
