Hello everybody. This is my third post over the last few months and I’m trying to figure out what this tractor is once and for all. I took some closer up pictures to try and help determine what it is. I have it narrowed down to 230 or 235 and I’m leaning more towards 235. The left transmission stick has 4 positions and the range stick has 3 positions. Tractor data lists that the 235 can have a 12 speed so that’s why I think it’s a 235. I have noticed that pre-agco Massey Ferguson tractors are all over the place, I can’t find any pictures that look like this tractor exactly and I’ve found very little information. This tractor has a strange drag link to connect the steering that goes under the front axle which is different than every other 230 or 235 that I can find. Anyway, any help appreciated. Thanks
