The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Yes its the end of the line for the Falcon, but not unexpected. Leaves only Toyota and GM/ Holden, making cars in Australia And is the VF Commodore the last Aussie Holden?

Tell the wife Pat exactly what you are going to do, or there could be consequences or repercusions, involve the grandkids, say they want a Doe too, how can she argue with the grandkids??? All you need now is another shed for all the majors...

And how did the show go? Any pictures.... TSG.

Sky blue, your other option for soft ground work would be to put duals on the back of your Dexta, just an option that you might consider.....TSG.
(As for my Super Dexta, has 14.9-24 on 13 inch rims and my Dexta has11.2/10-28 on the rear.)

I thought only 2000's, 3000's and 4000su used front axle pins, normal 4000's, the pins are a part of the front axle assembly, held in place by the four bolts that hold the front bush in place. With 3000 with the hexagonal headed axle pin, on other sites they cut the pin to get the front axle out, an...

Yes, definitely do both the pilot and thrust bearings, and some people would also suggest the input shaft seals too.Admittedly when I did my 4000 I didn't do them, but thats nearly 20 years ago and they are 40+ year old tractors now, hence my suggestion to do the 3 rear frost plugs while the tractor...

I'm guessing south of Cape Reinga, but north of Bluff TSG.

Shergar, I would suggest that you should split the tractor first, so you can see exactly what you need. I suspect that its most likely that the rear main is leaking and neededs to be replaced, but what about the three rear frost plugs too,and how is the clutch/pressure plate assembly? As for parts f...

Robert, if you had access to the Tardis, I would be willing to load it up for you from this end :run: At least the price is about right :clap: Currently on trade me is a 4000 SOS, much closer to home, I wonder if they still have the transmission in the back paddock from another 4000 SOS that they ha...

Ok , so now I've got it working on Windows, buy why dosen't it work on Android??? :cry: :curse: :curse: :curse: Anyone else got the same problem, only started several days ago :eyes: TSG. Kev, what do you mean by "other forums"??? I only go to tractor/agricultural forums, definitley none of those "I...

Hey, is there a problem with "Photobucket" currently? All my pictures come up with a blue box with a ? in it. Not just here but on other forums too. Is it my settings, photobucket or something else? Anyone else with the same problem? TSG

Ben, if there was anything that I've learnt about not so new machinery is always have a Cresent or a 13mm spanner handy.You will be suprised at how quick you can disconnect the battery when it catchs fire from an electrical malfunction... TSG?

Pat, thats picture perfect , all you need now is a Doe TSG.

Just wondering what people on the forum were doing today, and what weather they had, considering its a bit cooler on the other side of the equator :eyes: Among other things to do today, I had to go up the road and bale some hay with the 4000 and the IH 440 for the AB technician ( Thats Bruce in the ...

Dexta, my thought on this subject would be that if the vendor has not left the key in the tractor so it can be started, or if the vendor or their agent are unavailable to start the tractor at your request, then the tractor is a non runner, and should be valued as a non runner. As allways at auction,...

All the Dexta's, Super Dexta's and Petrol Dexta's that I own or have seen all have hand brakes on the left as Bens Dexta :D But in saying that, I have seen a 3000y with a right side ratchet handbrake on it rather than the standard left sided handbrake, that I suspect has been fitted after the tracto...

Sound like it could be an early 4000x with a leaking throttle shaft on the injector pump.Might need some picture.... TSG.

Joe, to the best of my knowledge it should work, as puting the petrol engine into a Dexta was an afterthought by Ford TSG.

VonZu ,nice pictures of Ford/Fordsons , but whats the story of the poor little Imp and its Coventry Climax FWMA based engine.... TSG

North America I'm guessing Kev

No problem Pavel, I think we are all guilty of "temporary brain fade" Even I'm not immune
A neighbour of mine got 300 litres of petrol recently delivered, with about 80 litres of water
Now that was interesting......

Glad you sorted your electrical problem. The fuel lift pump. Pressure is only felt whilst the priming lever is pumping fuel. When the system is full of fuel [primed] the lever is no longer able to move the internal diaphragm because it is in its extended position. In this situation the lever just '...

Nice picture, do you get Bats hanging around in buildings and trees or is this the wrong time of year? TSG.

Oscar can we get some pictures please?, no not the cats but the Squirrels, we don't have them down here in New Zealand! We do have something slightly similar and definitely not as cute from Australia TSG.

Snowman, I see no reason why it shouldn't fit, but remember 3000's are normally Livedrive and the 4000's are independent PTO.But before you start, just check that the 4000's camshaft has the drive gear for the hydraulic pump. TSG.(Its quite warm down here too,might need some !!!)
