We often get emails and photos from customers who have restored their tractors (and it’s great to see how people have got on).
Andrew (who incidently has a quaint little holliday cottage in Whitby) has sent us a video of his grey and red FE35 starting up from cold in winter time…

Hi,
Having completed a full strip down and rebuild of the engine according to the dvd I have now bought the Hydraulics dvd and am about to start looking at that end of the tractor.

One of our fellow FE35 owners (Neil) had completed a full rebuild of his engine but the starting performance was disappointing. Neil ordered Vintage Tractor Engineers’s DVD so see […]
