When Vintage Tractor Engineer heard about an upcoming auction of vintage tractors, which included a Doe Triple D, to be held at Lindholme near Doncaster on the 18th of October 2018, he couldn’t help himself but to go and have a look.
There were some interesting lots, including a Roadless and a Massey Ferguson 1100, but […]
We have been recently asked how to make the bracket which fixes on to the rear of the MF35 tractor which makes it easy to ‘flip’ over the hydraulic top cover on the MF35 tractor.
This is a useful tool if you need to remove the top cover yourself and can’t get anyone to help you, […]
Alf has kindly sent us a video of his 6 wheel drive county trencher conversion working in Sweden (commentry in Swedish, but a nice video to watch anyway). Alf calls it his 6*6.
Direct link to the video on Youtube.
Drainage work is a skill that comes from experience, and it’s clear to see that Alf is […]
We have already taken a look at Geoff’s V8 Ferguson tractor. Now there must have been some head scratching moments when he was trying to fit that engine into the Ferguson!
But that isn’t Geoff’s only tractor. He’s also been busy with a 4 cylinder diesel MF35 and there’s a MF135 and a Leyland 154 also […]

I think it’s fair to say there’s a bit of customisation and adaptation been needed here. […]

Gunter’s FE35 – Restored photos and video of a cold start.
The problem with us tractor enthusiasts is we get […]
Michael has sent a photo in of his clutch finger adjusting gauge.
As you can see, the tool is made from a length of aluminium box that is just the correct size so that a hex nut fits snugly inside it, but is not able to turn.
This is a great way to make a tool if […]
We’ve had lots of people asking if our Massey Ferguson 135 Clutch Guide is also relevant to the MF35 tractor, so here’s what you need to know…
The Perkins diesel powered MF35 and MF35X’s had the exact same 11″ dual clutch assembly as the early Massey Ferguson 135’s.
The MF135 we filmed in the MF135 Cutch Guide […]
