Thanks for the reply, I might just leave it, its a long term project so have plenty of time to sort something out

I have just seen is a perkins 52hp AD3-152 engine advertised for sale, it was originally on a generator and is only suppose to have 500 hrs on it, there is no waterpump or flywheel.
Would this fir a super dexta and would there be much to be changed to do it

I havent braved the thorns yet to get the numbers and codes. but once I do I will put them up here I have been told there should be reg docs "somewhere" for the dexta but no info about docs for the super yet. I am like a kid with a new toy, I keep wanting to go and play with it, but I am being good ...

Thanks for the replies and the good wishes. I found out a bit of history of these today. The super dexta was the first one owned, it worked a few fields, the owner was delighted to tell me about turning a 10" sod with a 3 furrow plough. his brother then started using it to draw wood out of forests, ...
