Re: Engine Oil
Been to Alberta this year and was told about your extremes compared to Holland. A straight SAE 30 is not suitable for your wintertemps, wonder what is in the original Ford manual about this, Suppose something like 10W-40. The lube oil system of a that 4 cyl Ford engine is excellent, and oil pressure...

Had a similar problem after a complete overhaul of my 59 Dexta. The new pump was an original delivery from Perkins, but required the piping modification. After start up with SAE 20 run in oil had a leaking seal of the oil filter housing. . Checked the oil pressure with a gauge in the port for the el...

Ensure that the pivot points of the operation rod are loose. (clevis pins) If these are tight brake pedal does not come back!

Re: Fordson Dexta oil in exhaust manifold
Worked some years on International tractors . Some were used with a vacuumpump for milking in the field , so hours of idling in stead of working. This sort of tractors came in the workshop with lots of oil blowing from the exhaust. We run these with Shell Ensis SAE 20 for about 3 to 4 hours under he...

Re: Single Clutch Dexta
Had this problem with my Dexta, found that clutch plate did not slide easy over shaft splines. Cleaned and polished splines, lubricated with a small amount of molykote anti-seize compound and works allright . This stuff is only ok when used sparingly, in contact with the clutch plate linings you end...

Re: oil in exhaust
Had this problem as well. What make pistons/piston rings did you use? In my opinion the oil temperature is no issue when the cooling system is running normal temp. Running the engine without thermostat is very bad! As Brian says HD 30 or 20W/30 is the best oil for your Dexta engine , and work it har...

Re: clutch bind
Had clutch bind trouble with my 59 Dexta (no live drive) Trouble caused by corrosion on splines of gearbox input shaft and in clutch plate hub. Plate was very difficult to slide on axle.
Cleaned axle and plate hub splines and coated with Molykote paste type G , This cured my problem .
