Latest addition home. Replaced the 265. Yes it's a downgrade but granda has decided to retire and go back to a tractor of his youth. Main jobs will be ploughing and baling with the 124 baler. Looking for an original swinging drawbar and tool box for her if anyone has or knows of one. Exhaust is getting changed soon.

Some of those exhausts had a whistle to them more so on the ordinary 3 cylinders though tidy wee yoke (y) Did you ever here what became of the Multi Power one near you ?

Great little 35. Is it a 35X? Can I see a diff lock in one of the photos?
EAV is a Cambrideshire number plate, so it's interesting to see a Scottish dealer plate. Maybe they supplied her second hand at some stage?
Anyway, a cracking tractor!

Their would be a fair chance it was sold through Cambridge at a year old Scottish dealers bought them by the lorry load at that time , from memory they,d be about £150 cheaper than a new one.

No XAV is an Aberdeenshire registration from around Oct 1962 to May 1963, although it's not shown as live on DVLA.

Yea it's a 35x, it's either 62 or early 63, does anyone on here know how to tell from serial number or anything the date? From what I know XAV is an Aberdeenshire, from the old style system?
