serial no can can be found on left hand side[ sitting on seat ]
the number is on edge of the gearbox houseing where it joins the engine
it will be coverered in paint an grime so it will take a good bit of scrubing
to uncover it, if its a 64 it should Start 09D -------

this really is a puzzler , when you took off the oil bath filter did you get the wire gauze
inside compleatly clean, some even boil it to get the oily gunk out of the wire mesh
this can restrict the revs big time, if this is all good then it must as you say something to
do with diafram ect

hi iam useing a mc connel digger on my s/dexta, it weighs roughly 700kgs ,although ihave about 80kgs hanging on the front to keep the nose down ,also have a set of doubles on her, i did have a scarry moment once when i hit the side brakes an she swung around and started up a hill, nearly stright up ...

got my lift arms to-day as you had said , very quick and resonable
thanks again, skyblue

mybe with the diafram fixed it means something eles is not working propley,
have you cleaned out the air bath filter gauge and the little gauge filter on the pump
, also mybe fuel tank filter may be blocked, just thinking outside the box

no the ford modern type seat, it is the type with the damper rod in the
back for suspension , it comes with a plate which screws onto tractor the seat then
slides into this, it can be adjusted foward or backwards to suit driver,

hi i have a standered type ford one on my s/dexta, fitted on fine
just uses the same two screw holes as old one, and a comfy drive

if its the push button on the mech/ pump , this is not the primer tap , it works like a choke an allows extra fuel to pump , the fuel primer tap/pump when used correctly cause a fire in the manifold which is sucked into the cylinders helping the engine to start. sorry if im trying to teach granny to...
