Have a Grey/Gold with Nov '57 casting date upside down on the gearbox, are you saying that it should be red? Old man's had it since '64 so I doubt it

Not exactly, but as we know the colour changed during November 1957, the likelihood is a tractor with a NOV casting would be Red/Grey?
I looked at the gearbox vs engine casting dates on our two tonight and on both tractors the gearbox was cast later than engine so is nearer to the build date.
On our diesel one the gearbox was cast only a fortnight before assembly, but the engine block a full six weeks!

Just look at the clutch pedal. If it's a smaller pedal, like on the t-20, it's grey and gold. If the clutch is the same look as the brake pedals, with grips on, then it's red and grey.

Thats a point....something ive never worked out the reason for

grey gold, and 4 cly red models had sprung brake rods, if you pressed the pedals real hard the springs compressed

3 cyls had plain, solid brake rods?

Not quite- the flat clutch pedal cut in towards the end of Grey and Gold production, as did the lift pump with pipes side by side.

Serial no is 73283 with gearbox date of 7.11.57. Where do I find the engine date?

Late example - last FE-35 Grey/Gold 74655.
Stamped in block above the starter motor.

Engine date is 13.11.57 so a week younger than gearbox

How close is that to build or registration date?

deere66 · Jul 14, 2016

Date of first reg is 10.1.58. Must've been hard to shift after red ones came out, wonder what sort of discount moved it.

If the milk price ever wises up enough to leave me with a few quid in my pocket, a nice looking FE 35 does appeal for some reason..
