WORKSHOP: HELP

Rare Ferguson 35

Q I’ve read a buyers’ guide for FE 35 tractors on the Heritage Machines website and I think that maybe I have an odd model. My grandfather bought the tractor in 1967 from a Yugoslavian agro-cooperative that had used it for 10 years by then.

It has been painted, so I don’t know what the original paint scheme was and the cab is a farm-built example. The serial no is: SNF 42114.

My question is how can it have a Perkins threecylinder engine and be built in 1957? Both the website and Wikipedia state that Perkins engines were fitted from 1959. Thank you, and I hope this interests you.
