A new challenge

Four projects in this issue – finishing mower overhaul, rotavator rebuild, MF 550 appraisal, and MF 35 resto

PART 15

Although this Massey Ferguson 35 had been out in the daylight for a test run, this was its first time outside since it had been completed.

Generally, if it’s a bright, sunny day, the fresh paintwork glistens in the sun and if I’ve done a good job the shine looks at its best. It was now time to send this tractor home, and after numerous hours striving for perfection it’s at this point that I am the most apprehensive.

Getting this loaded and back to its owner without a scratch is very important to me.
