Many people ask why the engine is called the ’23C’, well the Standard 23C engine is 2259 cc (in other words, nearly 23 hundred). Power was provided from either the Standard Motor Company petrol, VO or 23C 4 cylinder diesel engine. The first of the Ferguson 35 tractors were painted with Grey tin work and copper coloured castings and were called the Ferguson FE35. The De Luxe version was fitted with the dual clutch, live P.T.O., tractormeter and cushion seat. The Ferguson 35’s were an updating of the TE20 range with uprated engines and power, dual clutch option to provide live drive pto, dual range gear box to increase forward speeds from 4 to 6, ground speed pto, increased hydraulic lift capacity and the addition of draft and postion control from a dual lever hydraulic control system (link to MF35 Hydraulics DVD).

Production in England of the FE35 didn’t start until 1956. Here we will look at the English built tractors, but just to note that production first started in America of the TO35 in 1954. The title of this article ‘Massey Ferguson 35’ would, in actual fact, only refer to the production of tractors from 1957 to 1964, but this range of tractors included the American built TO35 (Tractor Overseas), English built FE35 (Tractor England) and the French built MF835 and 35-8.
