The result of this was that the gold and grey liveried FE35 was to change to the new Massey Ferguson colours of grey and red.
This promotional photo shows that although the livery changed to red and grey, the triple triangle badge of Massey Ferguson was not used immediately. Here we see a red and grey tractor with the Ferguson badges, just as on the gold and grey FE35. Peter Shannon (comment number 48 on the FE35 page), suggests that the first tractors painted red and grey were produced on 5th December 1957, but these tractors retained the Ferguson badge until serial no. June 1958) and that the old push-button bonnet was used until serial number 141140 in 1959.Īlso take a look at Per’s Ferguson FE35 and the decals. Per’s tractor has the Ferguson badge on the front of the bonnet, but the decals along the side of the bonnet appear to have been replaced?
More information about decals and badges on Dave’s MF 35 Page, also Jeff’s tractor is the same as Dave’s with a Ferguson badge on the front and Ferguson stickers along the side of the bonnet. These tractors are very close in serial number. Vintage Tractor Engineer has though about the information above and decided that this page should be devoted to all the decals information that people send in.
