Hi, best way of uploading photos?

No its quite different.....I will take some photos.

Hi All, My dexta has a problem with handbrake but the repair kits and diagrams supplied by Agriline are different. The handbrake releases when the button is pressed and a pin retreats back into the body of the brake releasing a free block with teeth on it that engages with a toothed bracket on the t...

thanks for the reply Brian but its seems to be far worse than originally thought. Stripping down the brakes to free up the handbrake and fix now

I have a seized handbrake on my 59 Dexta. Is there a way to release the tension before I try to remove the brake drum on the LHS? The handbrake on and will not release. Ideas or comments? thanks Botch.

Hi, my Dexta needs a new clutch and there seems several different types available and different prices! What is the best way to ensure I get the right parts? thanks

I am experiencing difficulty sourcing a replacement temperature gauge unit for my Dexta. I have bought one from Agriline but the meter does not fit the orginal (or the replacement) dash plate and the thermocouple looks 2 to 3x larger than the one I have extracted from the waterpump body. I have chec...

I'm having trouble with disengaging the handbrake on my Dexta. On pressing the central button a small pin moves but doesn't seem to release the rachet block on the side of the brake. Is this faulty? There doesn't seem any adjustment possible. Has anyone had this problem or can help?
