A lot of our parts from 50's and before are stamped EnFo. Short for English Ford.gjsteed wrote:..what is it exactly ment to say&stand for ?
I guess she's had an hard aule life,my mum says when she was growing up there was never a day she wasn't started,then when she got laid up she lay in below a leaky roof for 10+ years which prob didn't help matters.. But honestly she may look rusty and bad but it is really only surface rust that you see ,underneath she is as solid as a rock,the mud guards are as sturdy now as they were when she left the factory (unlike the super sitting next to her they are just hanging on,which I always thought strange)..I just think she's great and have decided just to keep her the way time has made her..but obviously if she needs a mechanical part it will get replaced ...Broadspeed wrote:Looks very niceBut how it is so rusty?
EnFo stamp in my Dexta is also upside-down
Thank you verymuch,she was addicted to easy start for a long time my father told me, but after replacing the glow plug/heater button and cleaning out the atomiser on the inlet manifold I finally managed to start her without that horrible stuff !! My sequence of starting her is as follows (not according to the manuals way but it works for me)pbufton wrote:An absolute beauty of a tractor. I have the same loader on mine, really finishes the tractor off i think.
Whats it like starting from cold?
Takes a few cranks, but she will start . When I first started looking into her cold starting problems ,I found the heater switch faulty,then checked the wiring to the glow plug was ok by using just a basic multimeter,i had already replaced the glow plug ,then I checked that the primer was pushing fuel to the atomiser , then I screwed the atomiser out and blew down it with my mouth to see if it was clear, it wasn't,so I blagged one of my wife's larger type needles and carefully pushed it down the hole in the atomiser to clean it ....and out pushed a few pieces of gunk and grime then gave it a clean in petrol ..can I also add I've a good well charged battery to help things! My father always said that "that Aule engine in that dexta is done that's why she needs easy start to start" so I had quite a grin on my face showing him that she could be started without easy start lol not as done as he thought me guesses lolVulgunx wrote:Fires up instant or takes a couple turn overs to fire up? is it worth to clean out the atomiser on the inlet manifold? since my tractor was addicted to easy start and it takes about 2-3 attempts on using the heater to get her going
