Here at Vintage Tractor Engineer we are used to working with the UK built Ferguson tractors. However, when it comes to some of the US built machines we start to get a bit lost as to which model is the UK equivalent and are they exactly the same or just very similar with small differences.
Then we get emails about the French built tractors and we get lost altogether!
MF835
We had a gentleman who needed information about the injection pump on his MF835. Apparently the pump is a Lavalette Brevete.
We’ve now been given the link to a French site that has information on these pumps…

Unfortunately Vintage Tractor Engineer’s French is about as much use as engine that’s done 15,000 hours and never had its oil changed! Anyway, apparently the information is on that website somewhere.
If you need to translate anything then Google Translate seems to work quite well.
There are also a couple of links to some more information for the injection pumps…

4 cylinder Massey 35 (1960’s tractor)
engine revs up…..will not idle…….no throttle control
Is it the governor?
I Took off injector pump and checked the “allen” nut inside the splined end……it is tight
What might it be? Governor? Can I fix it myself?
[…] Hello everyone I am lucky enough to own a 4 cylinder 35 (1959) but unfortunately he only speaks french, getting parts for the 35 couldn’t be easier. But there seems to be big differences with some of the parts, for instance the diesel injector pump is different to the british model. On watching Steves excellent DVD i noticed the british version is smaller. Also the Kigass pot doesn’t fit in the same place. Does anyone else have a french version that i could compare mine with. The injector pump is not working very well and i need a workshop manual for that in English if anyone can help, it is made by Lavalette Brevete. I can be contacted on 07875 287778 in North Devon Kind Regards Dave Simmonds Robert has now sent us a link to the French site where there is information on these pumps. It’s available from this MF835 page. […]
