Congratulation,s for your good work on your "bluegirl" Jamie, - from Norway too.

POLARIZ your dynamo; Hi "Guy" -Your dynamo need to sit on the tractor, -The wires need to be pic,d off it. (ceep those wires avay from some shockflash...) -Hold the battery mounted on the tractor with groundstrap on it. - Take a "wire-bit" about two meter and so, and hold one end of it onto hot-term...

In Norway it was a company who fabrick,d such "front-bascet,s" so the farmer could drag it down for to put some woodenboxes on it, and then fill up with heavy stuff. This was sold alot, and it is still very populer, concern that you can put it up and down. http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n620/bl...

Yes, as you see on the picture it is a screew just over the filter who can unscreew from outsides. Take out this screew, and bend down the pipe. Now you can lift all filter up for check and clean the litle valve sitting underneeth too. I would recomend a new filter from agr.l, (mybee the old filter ...

Hi "Dextas" your,s copper rings is best to repair this probs. (or a set of new ones ofcoarse) but if you can use your old ones, you have to heat them up until dark color appear on them. This prosess make them softer again. and when you have used it once, they are become hard again. - Do clean the su...

Hi conar22, i think most likely it is your dynamo... can be some who had messed with the polarize,d of it sometimes. check it on your workshopbench, open it up, clean it carefully, and look good at the brushes and communtator. If you have acess to measure and ohm the wiring,s on it, you will know ho...

when you have rewired the tractors have you wired them as positive or negative earth? would it matter to the loom how it is wired? Sorry for not so good answer... - I usual wired as original with + to eart. - It has not any affect to the wiring loom... - (if you want yo mount Amp.m.gages) you have ...

W59d...yeaah, clever boy who already have learned alot of his own work

Yes ofcourse, I think the original Lucas system is good enough when it is well maintenanc,d and with plus (+) to earth, and minus (-)to "Hot terminal" Tip to all Dextalover,s who want to make their wiringloom in good chape again; 1.Start with your dynamo, will it charge?? after polariz the magneto F...

Hi again Dell. Take a look at your regulator...if it is five terminal,s on it...this wiring can be a god guide for you, becouse it also tell about the colors... It is also a another wiringdiaghram for Dexta with four terminals on regulator, and a another diaghram fit that. (not big different between...

Hi If you have five terminal,s on your regulator...this wiring diagrahm you will find on "parts four" will suit for your Dexta.

Hi, Wee59dexta...some tip for easyer understanding all the wirings on your dexta is to draw up circuit,s (just like the good draw from Brian) becouse it is many circuit,s on hole wirings, so you can start train yourself to draw it to one different circuit on each sheet then. When you (to an examle) ...

you should try to take off one end of the small wire between starter switch and solenoid and check if it is live when ign. on. If it is the switch i faulty. Yes, you can try measure this vay ...(not to use the lever... only the ing. switch on) if now it is current to the solenoid ?? then the switch...

It is one hub gasket, and one sim ring.The hole shaft have to be dismantled.

Hi John, I also usually do like you did, but I also after some houres do take it appart again and soak it again befor assembling. (aspecially if I am worry of "to heavy fork" for turning...) But it is also a tip for they who are taking out the crank and all bearing,s...not use oil on "backside of be...

Wooow..."dotty" is tuff and nice, and it is something row about dextas who are just handed over to collecter,s...Yes Brian the small tractors was giant,s to work hard, and almost all of them got banged flat...but they still worked for their,s owners, year after year too. - Yellow wheel,s was this an...

Nice to see, it seems that it is better climate over there than in Europe...(not so cold in winter,s neither so much snow and ice...) so mybee mostly of the oldies,s are in better cond. there as used tractor,s

Hi we59dexta, gretings for you decision to throw it away... Mybee it can be rebuilt but it is in need for total measure,d. (The field wirings has not to be shortcut,d at any time) and the ancor and communtator need to be OHM,d... so just buy a new one and try it in a bench at first.
God luck

All startes has numbers knocked in their body, but has it often covered by paint or is on backside of the starter. It is the identification for parts too. but i still are vaiting to here how the condition ,s are on this starter.

Hi, this brass screew place is unusual on dexta starter,s...I have not seen it on those. But if someone has moved the "inputbrasscreew" onto side of the starter ?? it very well still can funk...but this indikate again that someone has rebuilt this point. The screew have also to go through the starte...

Your starter mybee could had some short cut,s or some default,s already befor..mybee burned wirings?? I can not see any other reason, mybee someone has made this prob,s on it ?? Try to find an old starter and put it on a testbench in the workshop... or mybee dismantle your starter and seek for failu...
