Just received the long awaited MF 35 hydraulics DVD today – very much worth the wait – congratulations on an excellent production! J O, Inverclyde.

A really excellent DVD I watched it last night and it will be extremely helpful. E C, Co. Cork, Ireland.

First job is to get one of those brackets made so I can remove the top cover on my own. Good troubleshooting section – think I’ve diagnosed my problem and can’t wait to get started on the strip-down of my TO35. Chuck Harrison, USA.

It is fantastic. My son and I now believe that we can take our tractor Hydraulics apart and put it back together again! Dr Lloyd V, Guyana.

I’d just like to thank you for the MF35 rebuild DVD I purchased from you recently, it has allowed me to transform my non-starting rebuilt 23c engine to a happily starting one, with only a day of stripping and readjusting – best £19 odd I’ve spent in a long time! I’d recommend the DVD to anyone. Cheers Alex. Alex T , Cornwall

Thanks to you and Ian for your help, it is running like a top now and blowing no smoke. If I speak to others rebuilding these tractors, I will tell them the first thing to get is your DVD. M T , Victoria, Australia

Very impressed, well done. If you can send me an e-mail when your next DVD is complete I will place an immediate order. J O, Scotland Thanks a lot.

I have already had great use for the dvd. Great quality and very instructive. M W , Sweden

A freind has your dvd, I think it’s awesome. If you made one rebuilding a 4cyl diesel nuffield, I’d be one of your first customers. A J

Hi Vintage Tractor Engineer, Thanks so much for the great DVD showing the 23c rebuild process. It’s so well made and will enable even an amateur like myself to attempt the engine and clutch rebuild. Even if our 1959 FE-35 23c MF (#SDM161488) is not urgently in need of a rebuild, we’ve learned so much about the intricacies of the engine that the enjoyment of owning the tractor is greatly increased. I’m very much looking forward to your DVD about the hydraulic system. It only took 9 days for the DVD to reach us here in Canada. Thanks again, P R BC Canada

Hi I bought the MF35 Engine Rebuild DVD and found it invaluable, many thanks. I now have recently bought a Ferguson TE f 20 and was wondering if you have an Engine Rebuild DVD for that model? Best wishes. Brian.

Hi Steve. I have just watched your DVD. The complete idiots guide to rebuilding the little Fergy. Fabulous, thoughly enjoyed every minute. Many thanks for 2 hours of information and complete enjoyment. Jeff Thomas. Newport, Gwent.

The Standard diesel engine was notoriously difficult to start and any engine wear and resultant loss of compression will compound this problem. This often necessitates an engine rebuild for the FE 35, TO 35 or MF 35 tractors, and completing this task can transform a good restoration into a superb one. Due to the age of these tractors and the amount of work they have done it may not be the first time the engine has been rebuilt (the film shows what to look for when measuring the crankshaft and how to understand the marked numbers on the bearings), but what ever the circumstances we wish you well with you tractor restoration project.
