The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

I have decided to sell my Superdexta; just dont have the time space or $$ for a decent and deserved re-build on this very strong and dependable unit that I purchased in 1995. Barn kept until this past summer when I purchased another replacement. It has been covered with a couple tarps and yesterday ...

Drain for the block is just below the fuel filter . S/b a drain on the radiator also. Look below the lower radiator hose. 'In that neighborhood', kinda below and to the left is a brass (looking) plug that I pulled but got no fluids at all. Now, directly 'just below the fuel filter' (and sorta behin...

I have received my order and the 'fuel tap / jet for manifold' does spray the diesel. Work is slow though and i have not completed the glow plug project. Along with the order is hoses, belt and filters (fuel, oil). I intend to change out all hoses and coolant. Can yall locate the drain plug on the e...

Thanks a lot for the Agriline site Jack. I'll have to call them. The illustration isnt like my part (import vs export versions maybe) but we gonna try it. Ive been hunting for that parts place, wow, they've got the Dextas covered.

Yes Billy after I studied the schematic, I saw the horn pulled off the heater plug. Hmmm, dont quite know the next step on this check valve except to try and free existing one up from years of dirt and corrosion. Ive got it soaking in gas. Gotta be a similar nozzle end that size that has similar fun...

Actual glowplug looks to be OK, and I've found out (on these topics) that I can simply 'hotwire' to the battery to check. I'll do this test today.

I am cleaning up the starting procedure on my Dexta and need your help on the heater plug. Reading past topics on this has helped but I haven't found anything on nozzle specific. The hand pump on the left underside of fuel tank is sending fuel thru line to the manifold on right side of engine. Howev...

yeah bill, I've been trying to download all that info but about midway thru , it starts lockin up and freezing to where Ive gotta do the 'controlaltdelete' thing. not successful so far.

Bill, early on, the heater plug did function and ether was not required on cold start-up. Somehow (my memory fades sometimes !), and sometime, I developed a wiring problem 'under the dash' and the heater button stopped working. Thus, the dreaded ether was used, only a really short burst for a long w...

Thanks for the replies. Until I found the 'net, I was really lost with this ole 'Ford', especially since the FordTractorStore closed in Aiken (several years ago). They were the only place around that I could get any part for oleblue. Hey commander, yeah Im a lifetime Carolina boy, down here on the o...

I bought mine from a local owner that farmed it for many years and I have owned since '95, requiring only light driveway and clearing. Soon as i figure out the photos, Ill post and get back to yall with a bunch of questions Ive had fo...
