[AT] Massey Ferguson FE-35

Chris it's hard to tell without knowing more about other problems with the 
tractor.  However, hard starting of a diesel can usually be fixed with an 
engine block heater of some sort so I wouldn't let that get in my way.  How 
much trouble do you have starting it now?   I'm thinking you need to be 
looking for a good used radiator or someone who will give you a better deal 
on the radiator repairs.   Exactly what is wrong with the radiator you have?

I am new to AT and I am looking for advice on my Massey Ferguson FE-35 4 
cylinder diesel. The radiator needs extensive repair and I am trying to 
decide whether to spend the $500 required to fix it. I have been advised to 
just junk the tractor because these old FE - 35 4 cylinder diesels are so 
difficult to start they are considered worthless. Is this sound advice or 
does the FE - 35 4 cylinder diesel have some value as a collectors item? It 
runs well, and has good tin and rubber. Any advice would be greatly 
appreciated. Is there anyone on the AT list who has this model of tractor or 
is knowledgeable about it?
Thanks
Chris Bull
