Hello all,
you may remember that i posted a while back that i could not find a serial number, well you guys were right and i unearthed it.
my question is there is an unidentified symbol in the number twice, i have it cleaned well and i cannot make out what it is.
It looks like a triangle, or a boats sail, has anyone seen this symbol or know what it is?
the seial number is 09C9_41_7. I put _ were the the symbol appears.

Thanks,
Niall

Hi Niall
The triangle-shaped symbol is a zero. My Majors have the same thing. Your serial number is 09C904107. Your Dexta was built in 1963, but I don't know the month since I don't have a Dexta serial number list.

Hi Niall,
JC is right, they seem have been used as zeros.

I have also just uncovered this symbol stamped on our 2 1962 Super Dextas on the machined area on top of the gear box housing just in front of the gear levers plate.
Anyone else have them there?

Your tractor may have been built in March.

Cheers,
Les
