Hi Mike You have a British built FE 35 which was exported to Canada, (past info from Big Dean said it was only Canada that recieved them)
These were fitted with glow plugs to all cylinders, not like the British models which are ******!!!!! to start.
The FE was built from 1956-1958 in it's origanal gold/bronze and grey, and from 1959 the paint changed to red and grey.
The tractor became known as the MF 35 but like yours it still had on the s/n plate FE.
The Perkins engine was fitted to them in 1959 and these were stamped MF 35 Look on the right side of the engine as you sit on it, and just above the core plug, to the rear of the engine are the casting dates for the engine
look for something like 12 5 59 which is 12 day of May 1959, also on the clutch housing (same side)just below were the steering box is bolted, these might be upside down. Send me an email and I will send you an artical on the FE 35.
I was searching French tractor sites for information on another tractor and came across a French built MF 835 which is the same as the FE 35 in red and grey and fitted with a Standard engine but made in France.
Using a translation site I was able to read this site and the info on the Standard engine is very good.
I have been in contact with the site and the have asked for a photo of my 1957 Bronze FE 35 for their gallery. Hope this is of help BOB UK
