Hidde Zwart emailed me a picture of his Dexta that still needs to be restored. I included the picture because this a good example of the kind of Dexta you should look for if you want one: it obviously needs work but that's only cosmetics. This tractor is actually in good shape. Note that the front and rear lights are still present and that it still has the original dynamo and the horizontal bars in the front grille. The tyres seem to be in decent shape and overall a find like this is quite desirable. All the best to Hidde; hopefully he'll have many hours of fun restoring it.
