Having the same problem. I don’t have the time to look yet. If you work it out please post your cure, perhaps it could be the same thing.

Kind regards

It’s been a while since I posted the last message and I have changed my mind. I Love this tractor, I have had so much fun on it and getting allot of use from it.

Someone made mention of a choke. It may seem like a stupid question, but where would this choke be located, i...

I had to empty mine out last week, I just used a normal shifter

I purchased a 1958, Fordson Dexta, eight years ago off a Shark at Rowland Plains, Port Macquarie NSW, Australia. After arriving home with her, started up the motor and took her for a drive around the paddock. To my surprise she appeared to be running on three cylinders, hydraulics not working. Disap...
