Re: Hydraulic fitting?
hi glad to see you got it sorted, just a quetion on the return to back end,
can a quick release fitting be used for returning or must the fitting be stright through,
if you get my meaning, by quick release i mean the same as the feed from tractor

12-4-28 ithink would do you , book says 12 psi but around between 15 an 18
when on road ithink ,12 would be for feild work , 20 to 24 front possible , if tractor is to bouncy on road then
reduce this to suit. Gerry

Re: Engine differences - mech /vaccum governed
hi the super dexta bonnet rod for attaching to bulk head is also longer than
the standered dexta , but one can be easily made to fit from metal rod.

Re: Any Dexta lovers from Ireland: NI or ROI
i think that there would be a differance in insurance in the ROI and NI.
In the ROI I dont think there is any differance between vintage and moderen
tractors they are treated the same , icould be wrong on this in NI they do make a
differance on age , stand to be corrected Gerry

Re: Starter SOS. Need Help, Dad selling Dexta as 'unfinished
the hyd might need setting as pre the wliki site ect , having said that the arms do need abit of weight
to bring them back down again if you stand on them they will usually come slowly down . if not
