Lord Ferguson Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Just found the 1960 brochure if you want to see it Kev... but I suspect that the right one for the model you are looking at mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 My "expert" will take the serial numbers etc on Saturday and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Excellent idea getting an " expert" to look it over since I know one can get carried away buying things if your heart is set on it. I once bought a tractor unseen over the phone from Bedford and well when the curtain sider was opened in Aberdeen it was being like on "Blind date". Oh what a sorry state she was in but time and money made her look "10 years younger" again. Best of luck Kev and hope you make a successful purchase.

BGU Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Well first of all an apology! I forgot to take my camera! [ However I now own an MF FE35 - 4 Cylinder Petrol - Parafin. Serial number SKM185418. Registration number 407MKX. Has done 4560 hours. "Expert" opinion is that it needs a new exhaust silencer and has a leak on the nearside brake drum - not an urgent issue! Also a good price. Just needs lots ot TLC. This one has belonged to Shirleys family for a long time and was used up until about 18months ago. (FE35 - made between 1957-58 - 75,675 made.) BOY AM I HAPPY!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
