In 1985 or so I was at a county fair and a Massey Ferguson dealer from a county up along lake Erie offered one of those Yugoslavian made UK style MF35s brand new for $6500 USD. I think the logo said IMT or something similar. I was tempted.

Back when Yugoslavia was breaking up into smaller countries, we used to see nightly news clips of one of those MF35s  going down the road with the stada baba, the kids,  and any possessions on the wagon.

Later in the eighties I saw the same tractors being sold by an MF dealer in Fort Smith Arkansas with MF script on the hood. I am assuming that factory is shuttered now.

[Mattias] I have sadly not been participating a lot to this list lately, sad enough. However both my Volvo BM 350 Boxer '59 an Ylva' MF 35 goes to work quite often since they're the only tractors we have. I really should post here more instead of on Instagram or Twitter.
