MF model 35. You can tell it is gas and not diesel because of which side the exhaust pipe is on.
I worked on several back when I was the "MF-guy". :)

No, the wheels weren't white, they were grey.

A diesel.
If you look close, you can see the injector pump:

That looks like a detriot made machine, sure it preformed like one. Dad and I got a massy 451 not long after I moved back to the farm, Brazil made. I’ve never liked it. It never felt right, feels cluttered. Levers to close together and never the right length for the average joe. Must be tiny farmers in Brazil.

It’s been worked hard though. Only had two major issue in 20yrs. Once I smoked the clutch baling hay. Smoke rolled out from some where. I assumed there were flames and tried to get the tractor n baler out of very thick hay. Thought I was going to burn up the whole field. Choking on smoke, barely see, the clutch came apart.

Had to haul the tractor to some guy near hamilton al for repairs. Promptly smoked the new clutch trying to load it on the trailer to come home. I had to drive up again a few days later, another long trip on curvy roads with a 24ft trailer. :mad:

My grandpa used to say ‘if that throttle isn’t wide open you’re not working’. I don’t abuse equipment but I don’t treat it with kid gloves either. It’s a tool, I use it. When it wears out i rebuild it or get another. So other than the clutch and psteering pump that also came apart it’s run good. Still wish we’d have gotten something in green. I'd have been happy with that 4020, would have cost a lot less for a refurb.

That got me to googling... What is the smallest production car?

1684326956709.png

The Peel P50 is a three-wheeled microcar originally made from 1962 to 1965 by the Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man, and then from 2011 to present. It was listed in the 2010 Guinness World Records as the smallest production car ever made.[4] The original model has no reverse gear, but a handle at the rear allows the very lightweight car to be maneuvered physically when required.
