Massey Ferguson 35 Tractor Parts
The Massey Ferguson 35, a workhorse on farms from 1957 to 1964, earned its reputation for reliability and versatility. Powered by either a gasoline or diesel engine producing around 37 HP, and delivering approximately 32 PTO horsepower, this tractor was a popular choice for small to medium-sized farms tackling a wide range of tasks. Its compact size and dependable performance made it a farmer favorite.
The Massey Ferguson 35 was introduced in 1957 as a successor to the Ferguson TO-35, carrying forward the proven Ferguson System hydraulics and adding improvements in engine and operator comfort. Production continued until 1964. Engine options included the Standard Motor Company 23C 37 HP gasoline engine with 134 cubic inch displacement and the Perkins 3.152 37 HP diesel engine with a 152.7 cubic inch displacement. The transmission was a 6-speed manual gearbox, offering a range of speeds suitable for various field operations. The independent PTO delivered around 32 HP at 540 RPM. Hydraulic capacity was approximately 4.5 GPM, adequate for operating implements like loaders and mowers. A category I 3-point hitch allowed for easy attachment of implements. The MF 35 was commonly used for row crop work, hay production, livestock operations, and light tillage. It was distinguished from larger models like the MF 65 by its smaller size, lower horsepower, and simpler design, making it an affordable and practical option for many farmers.
