hi hi all been away for a few years but came back and both dextas fired up no problems. i want to change gearbox oil, currently a bit white as water got in via gear stick assembly - how do i get rid of white stuff before putting in new oil. It seems daft to put in new stuff knowing theres likely to ...

hi i am in south devon i am after a fork for the same loader. I tried a dealer a while back and he wanted several hundred pounds - so i did not go there. Might be cheaper to buy a complete loader from what i have seen . Will keep you posted if i see one be grateful if you could do like wise. Althoug...

hi
i have used a parmiter ( i think thats what it is) for years very useful with both bucket and fork.especially in tight spaces. You will need front weights though i have wheeel weights but they are really not enough.

had another delve/ search and found the missing passwords in a previous post.

so hopefully not lost it all - yet anyway

i think i am having a senior moment - how do io get on the wiki i wanted to get brians info on hydraulic settings. searched but found nothing it asks for my password but does not seem to like it?

Iam i losing it altogether??

on the subject of leveling boxes i bought a new one before realising refurbishment kits were available - they are nothing like the original in dimensions drop etc so if you can go for the kit - cheaper as well

hi from memory theres a split pin holding in the cross pin of the swively bit ( technical term!!) take out split pin , knock out bigger pin removing swiveley bit. then unscrew the circular plug ( Brian called it a welsh plug) on the top of the arm then all should be clear come apart. hope that helps

thanks for that - at least i know what to expect. would i be able to see them if the trumpet is removed? if so could i plug them then shorten the bolts?

hi Been using a rear pulley quite a bit lately so had it off and on a few times and what was a very small oil leak from the botton left retaining bolt ( as you look at it) has got worse and oil now leaks from all bolts when they are removed. besides making a mess it is wasting quite a bit of oil. I ...

The lengths some people will go to is beyond belief!!!

thanks to all - as you will see i did as instructed and it worked !! i noticed it was back to front when looking up some info for someone on the site earlier - as Bensdexta pointed out its a mirror image - i won't ask how it works i am sure its too complicated for my brain. As they say you can't bel...

hi trying to post wierd image of dexta i referred to in the recent dextapost on hydraulic tops http://cid-0ec28a11d4aefa63.spaces.live.com/?_c01_BlogPart=blogentry&_c=BlogPart [/img] that failed so try again http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/medukky/ that failed as well - where am i going wron...

hi
don't think its a petrol - if it is its the much discussed ealy 58 version - its some sort of computer negative i will see if i can work out how to post the scan

Brians right even i managed it in record time!!

hi
i am not quite sure what part you are after if you can post better details i have an old top laying around and it might have the bit you need which you are welcome to have.

hi i have hordraulic loader fitted to an early dexta - i believe from the outset, it is manual trip type it has a name plate and serial number 1220. Bucket only could do with a fork as well Anybody got any info on models made, colours etc and hydraulic piping currently piped via a spool valve ( if t...

hi been missing for a while - don't know if the actual overall cover is different but there are two types of quadrant fixing i believe. the earlier type has four bolts this was superseded by two bolt type from serial number 76093 in 1961 i believe ( source article t & M Nov 2005). Same source lists ...

Looks like its going to be a bit of fun! I think the points are pretty good i got it from a chap who had only one field for veg so it has not been over used in the last 15 yrs by him at least. he got it and a dexta from a guy who did ploughing competions in cornwall so i think its been looked after ...

thanks for that - i have ordered a book/ manual on f****Y plows so that will hopefully tell me a bit more how to set it up etc. What does the furrow wheel do - is it a basic support i.e a land wheel in effect or does it smooth the furrow or simelar. Never been near a plough before luckily we have a ...

Hi have aquired a 3f plough it has a serial number 10AE A7804 stamped in one place. on the front plough beam(?) if thats what its called 10 inch moldboards plus extensions & coulters/ skimmers etc its missing the furrow wheel coulter and scraper - the arm is there. It also has a rachet adjustement l...

hi
Try vapormatic or sparex they do various parts. I found this out after i broke the shaft on mine and bought a modern replacement which just about does the job but thelenght/ dimensions are slightly different so it has caused some problems with some adjusts needed for various implements i use

Brian I ordered the seal set from Agriline - it appears it is the later kit you describe a seal and leather back up not the correct atricle. I thought i would have a look at the seal on a spare head i have and that turned out to be an o ring with a back up seal (leather i think). The piston on the t...

Anybody got a right hand foot plate - bought a pair a few years ago and when i finally got round to putting them on found i had two left hand ones and its to late to go back now. So i would be pleased to swap or just get a RH one. If anyone wants a LH one let me know. They only seem to be sold in pa...

if you can work out a way of shipping - although i suspect it would be prohibitive- i have a spare top inc lift arms but missing some of the hydraulic rods etc which you are welcome to or indeed any bits if i can remove them. Like you i dont have any heavy gear and limited tools though - not to ment...
