The Massey Ferguson 35 was first introduced in 1960, and went through various iterations until 1975 when the 100 series was released, replacing the 35 series. The Massey Ferguson 35 was popular in the 1960s and 70s, often seen as the successor to the Ferguson TE-20. The 35 series was powered by an original 3-cylinder/2.5 litre engine, and developed into an improved 3 cylinder/4-cylinder engine in the later years of its production. In its original form it had an unsynchronised gear transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. There were several versions of the 35, including the 35 Standard, 35 Deluxe, 35X, FE35, 35V and the 35FE35 with selectable dual power. The 35 series was eventually replaced by the 100 series of tractors in 1975.
