Guest MF 550 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 has to be mate, just looks that litttle bit better finished to me Considering the brian norman model now sells for about the ?125 mark and the uh model is only ?13.50 surely that makes the uh 1 good value for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Considering the brian norman model now sells for about the ?125 mark and the uh model is only ?13.50 surely that makes the uh 1 good value for the price certainly puts it into perspective mate . but then i f brian norman went into full scale production his would be cheaper also mark , would appreciate it if you could put the UH & BN models head to head to compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 A question for Lord Ferguson: I grew up driving a 4 cylinder MF 35. My Grandfather swore it wasn't a "yellowbelly" (grey and gold) because they were "soft". Was there a grey engined 4 cylinder 35 between the FE and the 35X?

Lord Ferguson Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yes indeed Stan... it was initially called the FE35 still (with the Ferguson front badge)... then later called the MF35 (with the new three tirangle logo on)... There were a huge number of 4 cylinder 35's made in red and grey Stan - including industrial versions (but not in yellow I believe...) Some of the later models had a modified cylinder head to assist with cold starting problems. I've read a few times that the real problem with the 4 cylinder engine is timing... if it's out even a smidgen it makes them a pig to get going from cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Now you're bringing back memories! The 35 was always parked on a hill. It always had the water drained from the rad in the evening, and was refilled with hot water just before it was started. The procedure for starting it consisted of lighting the glow plugs, putting a shot of easy start into the air filter, and letting it roll down the hill in 6th, then letting the clutch out. Nearly always worked! Eventually he got sense and bought a Dexta. Started on the button every time, and could be used to pull start the 35 whenever necessary.
