Does anyone know if the last tractor built at Dagenham was a Dexta or a Major, has this tractor surfaced anywhere?

Last tractor produced was a New Performance Super Major in September 1963 according to Ford Motor Company data. Dexta and Super Dexta production ceased some months earlier.

How about all 1964 produced Majors? Where was they produced then?

I don't know how accurate FO-21 is but here is the last part of the serial listings:

These are of course the serial #'s for the FIRST tractor built each month so the last one is still a mystery but it should be within 3,000 or so based on the numbers from the previous month.

Grani at a guess they would have been old stock.
