There are many different clues you can use to identify these tractors.
The serial number on the identification plate is the most definitive, although it is not uncommon for the dash panel to have rusted and been replaced at some point – creating confusion.
In fact, there are som many of these FE35, MF35, MF35X tractors that have been made up from parts, had engines swapped, rear ends replaced etc. that identification can be difficult.
We have several resources which can help you identify what you have, its age, colour etc.
All the information may be useful to you. Take some time to read the following pages and it shoud give you some answers.

There is a lot of information there, but having read it all you should now have been able to identify your tractor.
I am looking for a Massey Ferguson 35X build on November 4 1963. Can anybody tell me how to identify a the date of build of a 35X and indeed all Ferguson TE20s, 30s and MF35s.
I understand all 35Xs have the direct injection AD3-152 Perkins with two stage clutch, diff lock, headlights and caushioned seat the same as the 35 Deluxe petrol motor version, the motors being the only difference between the two tractors.
Any help greatly appreciated.
