ferguson tractor

The TO-35 was introduced in 1955. At the time Massey-Harris-Ferguson had two compeating tractor lines... Much like Mercury and Ford. Same company different dealers. Then in 1957 they consolidated the lines to Massey Ferguson and all tractors were renamed MF's... except the hugly popular TO-35. It retained the TO-35 name until 1960 when it to was renamed the MF-35.

Only in 1960 did the name change to MF35 and it retained the Red and silver colors.

FYI

Great group.

If the Serial Number is TO3551 you have a TO-20 tractor not a TO35 or a MF 35.

The best way to tell at this point is to look at the left side of the engine. See if it has any of the following.

Z120 -- then TO-20 which agrees with the SN
Z129 -- Then TO-30
Z134 -- Then TO-35.

Another way to tell is that the TO-20 and TO-30 had 1 gear shift lever and an "S" on the shift plate (used to start the engine, although many times this may be over ridden) The TO-35 has two gear shifts. 1 gear shift and one Hi Low shifter.

here is what i found on the tractor just now
right below the steering wheel it sats HF TO-3551
then right at the top of the steering wheel behind it i guess there is a silver metal tag that says serialno. TO-91351
then on the engine it says Z129A601

front right side of the tractor it says TO- 9008-PH6
on the left side it says TO-3009
there is a s on the shift

so does that mean it is a to30?
and what does that mean to me as for listing the thing to sale, just want an idea at what i am dealing with here, if there is a market for these?
thanks
