tnx to all Gunter

To your tractor. On both sides under your seat, you have 2 round covers. On the right side the cover has a dipstick to check the oil level in the transmission. A little in front of this cover you will find a number.
This number will tell the date and month and year when the centerhousing was cast. And 2-3 weeks later or so the tractor was assembled. This will tell the year of the tractor at least.

Your tractor can be made from very late 1956 to mid-1959.
I don't think your tractor is made in France, from what I know they made the 25 after the grey Fergie.
Your tractor can be both an FE 35 or a MF 35, both were made in UK, the FE 35 always had the Standard 23C 4 cyl. diesel if it had a diesel. A MF 35 can both have a Standard 23C 4 cyl. diesel, or a Perkins 3 cyl. diesel.

A MF 35 serial number consist of 3 letters, and then a number. I have no idea what trick Jack in NB have for finding the serial number, but at least the 3 letters should be possible to determine from a little more info about the tractor.

I am mighty curious how Jack will solve this.

Your English is a h... of a lot better than my French... or Italian.... or German....!! And you probably have all of them.

If you have the four cylinder Standard 23C motor, there should be a serial number stamped on the main block. Right side, over the generator, on a flat surface, just below the cylinder head. "SJ ###### E".

If it's not there, follow the top of the block back toward the rear. There should be a machined flat surface about 50 mm long, 15 mm high, with the letters and numbers stamped into it.

Once you find that, drop me an e-mail at [email protected] and I might have a solution that will help you get your machine registered.

Add " .ca" to my e-mail address and try again.

I've tried your e-mail also to see if it works.

My FE35 (now sold) was SDM114996, with motor number SJ80691ED, made in 1958 as far as I can tell.

Your motor number was about 24,000 later than mine - if the serial numbers followed logically, your tractor number could have been in the 138,000 range. John (UK) might know about that.

Bill Brox may have a lead on a starter - he has a good knowledge of cost-effective (read: cheaper than dealer costs!) European parts sources.

I asked in my e-mail if your tractor has a two stage clutch and live power take off - this affects the serial number.

Hope to hear from you!

what oil comming in the transmission / rearachsel ?

tnx to all users .... wt for remessage

I have MF-35 Deluxe and a FE-35. Both have 3 cylinder Perkins diesels and both have serial number plates on the left side of the dash.

Without a serial number plate it is difficult to determine just what you have but the following may help.

The FE-35 is the European made version of the MF-35 though it was sold worldwide. I believe that it was made in France. The 4 cylinder diesel engine used in MF-35s was made by Standard Motors in the UK. This may be what you have in yours. I do not know if other 4 cylinder diesel engines were used in 35s in Europe.

Hopefully someone else will help with other information.

No need to appologize about your English. I just wish that I could speak/write Deutch as well as you can communicate in English.
