Dexta Hydraulics.

Post by Forddexta »

I have 1962 Dexta. Have overhauled the engine and g/box, and brakes, everything is running well. Problem is with the hydraulics. Due to a breakage I have removed an internal draft control arm (?), leaving the position control working. Recently, the arms take some coaxing to raise up to their maximum height. i.e. at first pull of the side lever, to the top, the arms and implement only raise half way, if I return the lever 1/4 down and up to top again, quickly, the arms will raise another 15%, if I do it again, it will, perhaps raise to the top, or will come up another 10 - 15%, or it may not raise at all. So I have to start the process again. If I'm lucky, the arms will go straight to the top, but that's not often. I have checked the oil level, changed the filter and pleaded with it, all making no difference. I'm now relying on this page for any assistance. Thank you in anticipation.
