FDV 294 – Photographs from 1952

FDV 294 – Photographs from 1952

I have recently found some pictures of Ferguson tractor Registration: FDV 294, taken when it was working on a Devon farm in 1952. Good pics, too – hay harvest mostly. It was then based at Bulkamore farm in Rattery, and owned by Roger Morel, my Great Uncle. The DVLA tells me the tractor is still in active use but the DVLA never supply ownership details, so I’m going through the Ferguson register. Someone must know the owner. If you do, tell them I’d be happy to provide copies of pictures, showing what she was up to 70 years ago when still working and only five years old. (Free, obviously, no payment required!!)

WANTED: Massey Ferguson MF35X

I’m looking for a MF 35 X to help me with various task around my small holding. Ideally it will be a solid work horse rather than a show pony. I’m planning to use it for what it is intended to do. If you spent 10,000 hours rebuilding a tractor from the ground up that would make your grandad weep of his youth, I’m  probably not your ideal buyer. But hey, maybe you wanted all your hard work to gleem cutting hay in the Peak District. Otherwise, I’m looking for a tractor that is solid, with working hydraulics and lights. I don’t plan to cut hay in the evenings, I just want to see when I’m coming home from the pub.

If you are looking to depart with a diamond in the rough or glorious agricultural gem, please get in touch.

History of MF35

History of MF35 VAV 996 Required..

I have owned an MF35 for around 40 years but no longer use it for work. I would now like to restore it and get it registered for road runs. I would love to retain its original reg VAV 996 but cannot authenticate its original registration. Just hoping someone might remember it!

Lost: Looking for LVW 60 – TE20

Looking for LVW 60 – TE20

My family used to be farmers in Church Hougham near Dover in Kent for many many years. As a child I would visit my Great Uncle ‘Chiz’ who took over what was left of the farm. He always had a little grey fergie and we would pop into the shed to sit on it and if we were lucky, start it and I remember the smell so clearly. I vaguely remember a couple of occasions where we got it into the fields for haying.  My Great Uncle passed away in 1999 bringing the long line of Bromley farmers to a close and none of the family were in a position at that point to purchase from the estate.  As far as I know the Fergie was gifted to one of Chiz’ friends with a small holding in the area. My father passed away in 2020 and Mother in 2021 and Ive been searching for pictures of the Fergie to try and get the reg number to track it down Even more so as in the last couple of years steam rallies and vintage tractors have become much more of a passion. Apologies for the slightly rambling story, but I wonder if I might have some assistance across your membership in locating the Fergie now. From DVLA I can see it is currently taxed and a V5 issued fairly recently, so I know its still alive and kicking somewhere. In my heart of hearts I would dearly love to buy the tractor and bring it back into the family, but a good consolation would be to see it again, knowing it is loved as we loved it.

Reg Mark is LVW 60, attached picture of my late Mother proudly sitting on her from around the late 70s/early 80s; Any assistance is much appreciated. Please email ; Jon Bromley on  jb@firelightdpm.com
