You could be right on that Fordson.
The first Model N's were made at Cork in Ireland from 1929-32, in grey.
In 1932 production transferred to Dagenham and the paint scheme was blue/orange. The mudguards changed too - they are useful in dating Fordsons. Were they both missing?
From 1933 to 1937 they were produced in blue (this tractor?), and at the start of the war they were Harvest Gold. They had steel wheels for war production, and were replaced by the E27N Major in May 1945.
Just so you know

It's not a MF35, it's a Ferguson TE20 (or similar). Surely?

It'll be a TEF 20 4 cylinder diesel. I've got one with a MIL Loader.
Mine is a bit rougher around the edges

Nice tractor. I can't wait until I move back up the Highlands and can justify a Fergie (plus a transport box and a wood splitter) - being a Northern Irish man it's the only choice

I'm going for Fordson Major. Whats more interesting is they've got a horse drawn mower that hasnt been modified to be hauled by a tractor. Must have been people around and about since the building is newly sheeted.

Dont mock the might of the Fergie, first machine I learned to drive. I was seven and have has a soft spot for them ever since.Posted 1 year ago # -
It looks like 3 cylinders to me

It's a TE20 with a P3 conversion.
The other option was the infamous gold seal diesel engine (basically the Standard petrol engine converted to diesel, which is what mcmoonter probably has), which was renowned for it's poor starting.The P3 conversion kit was supplied by Perkins, and was that succesful, it resulted in MF using Perkins engines as standard.

Tidy L-plate 3*50 Deere, one of the last. We used to have sequential number plated 3050 and 6400 on the farm where i worked and they were k-plate.

First time taking part in Tractor trumps. No idea what it is, just spotted it last winter on a snowy ride.Posted 1 year ago # -

No, it is a home-bodged 3cyl apparently! Spoke to one of the tractor buffs and aparently he had all sorts lying around so built it up for fun - and has been runing it for 20yrs+ now.

The 35 didn't use a P3
The P3 refers to the first of the perkins diesels, which also came in 4 and 6 cylinder versions, suprisingly named the P4 and P6.
The P-series of engines used inline injection pumps, and also the design feature whereby the con-rod big-end was larger than the cylinder bore, so you had to push the piston out the top, remove the gudgeon pin, then drop the con-rod out the bottom (they make for a lot of strong language when trying to get the things back together!)The 35, used the newer 3.152 series of engine, complete with rotary fuel pumps, with the original 35s using the indirect injected version, before introducing the 35X signifying the move to the A3.152 direct injected version.
Which was then replaced by the AD3.152 with the introduction of the 135.Massey continued to use the 3.152 in various versions up until they stopped production of the smaller 200 series tractors in the late 90s.
And yes, I know I sound far too geeky, but I've rebuilt numerous perkins 3-cylinders, and know them pretty well, including the variances between the different versions.
