Hi all am after 2 drawbar pins and the clips ( the r clip type ones that hold the pins in) for my new dexta to replace the horid bolt that are in it at the moment! Hope some one can help! Even the clip would do and I could get the pins made on a lathe if needs be! Thanks Stuart

Yes it is a square headed bolt on the hydraulic pump side!

Good evening all, well after a long going project which is nearly done I replaced the sump gasket to cure a small leak I didn't know I had, on start up I have developed oil coming through the exhaust, checked oil was slightly to much in so a drain out and a run up the road and still have the problam...

1958 Fordson Dexta (Standard Drive) living in Cumbria
Serial no. 957E5359
Engine no. 1403389
Clutch. D2B
Gearbox. D8B
L/H Axel. D1B
R/H Axel. D8B
Hydraulic Top. A7C (original one is D2B but a snapped stud and a farmer using a welder as metal glue made it very nasty)

Once you have taken the nut off I'd just a punch and tap the pin out from the front side so it goes out the rear side, try a little bit of heat maybe, as a second thort coil you tighten the nut up and try with some grips to turn the pin and try and find a "easy spot"

Thanks les, yes stone work to me is a second nature years of being forced as a kid on the farm as for how early I'm guessing rather early serial number is 5759 and casting code show march 1958 I belive! As we speak it's sat in the spray booth while the paint cooks on so roll on Thursday

Well after 12hours at work and a 3:30am start I've just come in from 5hours in the garage stripping down 2 hydraulic tops and getting ready for tomorrow which is rebuild day, why of why is it that the cotter pin that's the hardest to get to is always seized in the middle and the split pin never want...

Thanks Tom, this is the 3rd time in restoration I have had this top off lol, I'm poor for space in my workshop. But yea this is the last problam I have to sort is the worn cam making the arm push the pin in at a angle and restricting lift, currently making one good top from two not so clever tops bu...
