Charity raffle tractor at Tractor World

The full details of the competition are on the following pages, but in a nutshell, tickets cost £5, with all proceeds going to the Bicton Overseas Agricultural Trust The tractor is an original style 1964 Massey Ferguson 35 and is currently under the scrutiny of Ben Phillips, a restorer well known to readers of this magazine. After the 35 arrived at Ben’s workshop a close inspection revealed the tractor has a hitch at the front, as well as two at the back, one of which is a high-level, Continental-style hitch, headlights complete with guards and a downswept exhaust.
