TO 35

[miner09]

Looking for a new project. I"ve found two TO 35"s. One is a
1955 green chassis and gray tin. Other is 57 Bambo Beige
and Flint Gray. Both are original and never restored. Which is
most rare and most desirable?

My understanding is that less beige tractors were made than the green belly. I have never seen a beige one and we have parted out 4 green ones. I would pick the beige if everything else was equal.

I would go for the beige, sure you might even have a drop of paint left to do it with!....LOL

i have a to35 1957 model, it was Bambo Beige and gray,
but no one else had a fergy painted that color, they thought it was sometype odd ball case, so later i painted it red and gray.

someday i might paint it back, but probably not.

the one to get, if you can find one, is a early 1956 model and they are out there.

they were painted Bambo Beige and green, as far a i know there are no know serial # that mark the change in paint color to Bambo Beige and gray.

what ever color you paint them, if well cared for they are great little tractors, having the 12 volt system helps with starting.

just be sure it does not leak too much tran fluid out of the weap hole under trans, that can be a big problem. as you cannot fix the trans seals if the front housing tube is worn out.

later model fergys they fix this item by making the front trans tube replaceable.

good luck and be sure to show us pictures of what you buy and what it looks like fixed up.



the owners manual that came with my tractor is (print date, 1956) and it shows a tractor on the front cover that appears to be painted Bambo Beige and green.

Mickey, I will agree with Jeff get them both and you have two of the four colors the 35s came in. You ran out of the 40s so now start on the 35s.

Lester,
Thanks for reminding me. We've been really busy in the shop and haven't had time to go exploring much for more tractors. How did the rim and tire I sold you work out on the F40? Hope all is well with you.

I'm with Jeff, you need both. You can never have enough 35's...
Now IIRC? Grey and bamboo were late, green and grey were 55's? but the first few dozen 1956's were green and bamboo??? ... or so's I thought it was said. Check the FENA site regarding paint...
