MF 35 ID?

[Juggler]

Could anyone tell me which model / year this 35 is? 4 cyl diesel. Roughly what would it be worth? Starts, runs, all gears ok and hydraulics work.

Don't suppose you have a plate riveted to the dash?

It looks to have corroded away unfortunately.

look on the bell housing above the brake pedals near the top, close to the steering box bolts on,
the date will be stamped on the casting, if right way up its day shift, if upside down its night shift,
I will guess it's upside down and made at night, as most day shifts were exported

value £1500 to £1800

Can you read casting codes on MF like you can with Fordson and Ford?

There's a bit about casting numbers near the end of the article.........

The longer numbers with M2 or M5 are only casting part numbers afaik. The serial number on the tin plate is the key for the build date................

It looks a pet of a tractor, even if it is an orphan.
And a 4 cylinder, starting ....................

To the perfectionist, it is worth less because , shock horror, the right hand side wheel centre is not a fergy one
