Hood latches are different also as one we have hear had the chrome knobs that you twist over.
 
You're a whole lot faster than I am!.. it took me two months to do our MF255.. I had the whole thing torn apart pretty much
 
That brings back memories. Many years ago my father and his partner in custom hay business were using one of those to pull the square baler. When they finally got a larger tractor to bale with the Massey 35 got moved to rake tractor. I sure was proud to get to use it after those years of raking with a Ford 9N.
 
Thanks all, it purrrs. Amazing what a little paint, new filters and an oil change can do :D

I luckily didn't have to split it, just pulled the front apart to replace waterpump and at the same time gave the radiator a once over. When I purchased the tractor about 15yrs ago it had been reconditioned.
