I wouldn't sell it if it were me. If it is all original and in reasonable condition then I wouldn't do any work to it. Restoring a tractor that doesn't really need restoring can devalue it and also it will loose the originality. We would love to see a few photos of the tractor. That would be great. Steve. Hi James,

All is original,even the tyres and it has only 408 hours on the clock. The standard engine purrs and runs like a new one should. I,m not into restoration so what do you think i should do with it. Thanks James.

A 2 pin casting with Ferguson on it, totally chromed, a repolish has bought it up like new, material appears brass under the chrome, the pins are broken on the back but appear to have been un-threaded and maybe some sort of push on washer was used to hold it in place. I don't believe there has been any paint around the letters, just no evidence of paint at all. cheers Hi Andy, i had sort of come to the conclusion that it was an MF not an FE, but since posting here, i have actually found the original front emblem.

The reason for the gold paint under the grey is the tranisition from ferguson to mf where the castings were painted gold ready for use and then repainted in the new mf liverey. the last grey and gold came off the production line in 1957. I hope you find this info useful the rstoration lookes to be coming on well i have just stated a grey and gold myself a 1953 one of the first given the fact that your tractor has 2 fuel filters it is definately a red and grey model.
