Yes I know it's not a Kubota, but can it be an honorary one please please S.D.Vic and Mr. K ? It is my first tractor and I just can't part with it. It's a Massey Ferguson 35 diesel built in 1960. Still in good nick and runs well. It's got to share the work now with the Kubota so it's sort of semi-retired I guess.
These are a few photos I took to sell it, but decided not to now.
Cheers.

Welcome to OTT forums.
That is pretty cool it is your first tractor and you have kept her up. Very nice.
I would say it can be honored here at OTT but out of respect to Kubota's and Massey Ferguson it should be recognized as a Massey. :)

Thanks for the pics. Brings memories of my younger days and the Ford 8N's too.

Tractors are honorable; they helped build a huge part of American history. :D

I had one of those about 38 years ago. It pulled better than any
2WD tractor I ever owned.

I love the old iron tractors from back in the day. I wouldent mind hanving an old work horse myself to switch off and rotate between my Kubota and lets say an old Ford 8N. Cant beat the pure brute and power with some of these old irons. And like Aquaforce said they did help build America and were here long before our trusty and faithful Kubotas were.

Just broke the good news to Massey-Kubota ('MK' for short). Blow me down if I didn't notice a drop or two of coolant from the radiator pipe. Tears? Naw couldn't be!
Thanks Guys and have a great Christmas season.
