Could I just replace it with a Perkins 3cyl engine, is it as long as the 23c and does the gearbox fit? Regards / RZ My MF702 Digger/Loader has suffered an engine breakdown (23c).

Could I just replace it with a Perkins 3cyl engine, is it as long as the 23c and does the gearbox fit?

This should increase the value of your tractor slightly, as the grey/gold tractors are more sort after than the red ones. Take a look at the FE35 page for more info on serial numbers and colour schemes.... http://vintagetractorengineer.com/2009/01/ferguson-fe35-golden-grey/ It would seem that quite a few of the grey/gold tractors were repainted red/grey. Well done on finding the gold paint, you must be quite excited by the discovery. Steve. Hi Ken,

Well done on finding the gold paint, you must be quite excited by the discovery.

We discovered when we started to clean up his tractor, date plate showing 7 May 1957 and serial number SDF33212, that under the Red/Grey was a lot of Gold! Can you let us know if this may have been a paint colour change in the factory, making it a very early Red/Grey, of might it be one of the last of the Gold Bellys that someone has modernised by giving the new colours? Hi,

I’ve already got the two DVD’s from you (for my 11 year-old son last Christmas) for his FE 35 – well worth it for any 35 owner.

We discovered when we started to clean up his tractor, date plate showing 7 May 1957 and serial number SDF33212,
that under the Red/Grey was a lot of Gold!

Can you let us know if this may have been a paint colour change in the factory, making it a very early Red/Grey, of might it be one of the last
of the Gold Bellys that someone has modernised by giving the new colours?
