thats just what i needed , so the quick release fitting would do , for all return pipe types with the back ditcher the return hose is about 1inch thick ,there was no fitting on it ,probley removed by last owner :roll: iLL get mine tapped up and see how it goes , thanks for the pictures Gerry as the ...

That will be great look forward to the pictures

hi glad to see you got it sorted, just a quetion on the return to back end,
can a quick release fitting be used for returning or must the fitting be stright through,
if you get my meaning, by quick release i mean the same as the feed from tractor
Gerry

got it working, was as you said Brian had to push it past the top stop
a little , its the wee things that matter when you dont know what your doing
Thanks for that , now to learn how
to use it Gerry

does it need to be in draft control or position control, have not tried draft yet :oops: will do that to-day, the guy i got it from demostrated it on his 58 dexta and it worked well no bother although he said the slew on the control was faulty and had to be futer with, i have another set of controls...

This subject has probley been here before but just cant seem to find it mybe someone can help me out here , got me a back actor, the guy had it working well off adexta , got it home hooked it up an cant get it to work , now it lifts the actor no bother, but when i pullout the services valve to lift ...

12-4-28 ithink would do you , book says 12 psi but around between 15 an 18
when on road ithink ,12 would be for feild work , 20 to 24 front possible , if tractor is to bouncy on road then
reduce this to suit. Gerry

hi the super dexta bonnet rod for attaching to bulk head is also longer than
the standered dexta , but one can be easily made to fit from metal rod.
Gerry

picture would be nice , just to see how red looks , just before you return it to orignal blue, as im sure you
will, Gerry

Hi Gavin, . i saw this addvertized an was thinking of puting in a bid but after looking at freight it was pushing it out of my price bracket, iwould say go for it , the dexta should handel it ok lift wise, mybe you will need some sort of front weight , ithink it would be around 1/2 ton weight , when...

the dexta looks and sounds good it has to be an insporation to anyone taking on
such a project and to all dexta fans to see another one saved from the big old scrapyard in the where ever, Gerry

i think that there would be a differance in insurance in the ROI and NI.
In the ROI I dont think there is any differance between vintage and moderen
tractors they are treated the same , icould be wrong on this in NI they do make a
differance on age , stand to be corrected Gerry

ithink most of them probley come from the same maker most likley in turkey or some other place , probley have never heard of a dexta let alone seen one.so it probley does not make much differance where you buy, if you do find someone who makes them properly they will expect mountains of money just f...

hi before i rebuilt the engine on my dexta iwould use 15/40 and it seem to do the job , this was mainly because ijust could not find any 20/30 or 30 oil, after rebuilt i used 15/40 but it started to blow oil out exhust this was probley because of lack of use, any way i changed to morris 30w which i ...

the hyd might need setting as pre the wliki site ect , having said that the arms do need abit of weight
to bring them back down again if you stand on them they will usually come slowly down . if not
then you may need to reset them , or some of the vavles may be sticking ect, GERRY

Hi sorry to hear your thinking of getting rid of your dexta after all the time and money you both have put into it, if it can be sold and the money you have put into it recouped now, surely if you stick with it and can get the electrics ect sorted you should be able to get what ever eles you have to...

Thanking you once again Brian,
Gerry

iwas thinking that as you had explained that to me aloooong time ago for my dexta , ithough it might be different
with the ford 00s .dont no now where that pipe is suppose to go, it seems to go up behind manifold , cant see
any more from picture i have . any ideas any one Gerry

Hi a friend has a ford 4000 with a rotory pump if thats right term it has a connection at the back of pump which looks as if a fuel pipe should come off it, does anyone know if this should be connected up to the heater plug on the back of the manifold, as this is in direct line with the connection. ...

There is no set hrs as all the posts have said , the engine will tell you its self , when it gets hard to start blows oil out the dip stick, becomes a real pain ect ect needs more than the normall heat to get her going you will know its time to give her a rephamp, and it is probley better to do the ...

hope i diddnt upset anyone :lol: just been googling electric tractors , someboy it seems in the states has put a electric motor into a farm tractor , along with the other bits an bobs an has aworking tractor, and can plough pull trailer ect,not to the standered of the diesel but if one wasnt using t...

Hi iwas wonderinging has anyone converted a dexta to electric, ihave been thinking about this for awhile now, as ihave aback end and after reading a bit on it it seem a 12hp electric motor unit would give about the same power as the diesel equvilent, i would like to hear if anyone has any ideas on t...

jerviss did you get the backhoe , if so i would be intersted how it worked out for you
did it go stright on which is probley a silly question as these things usually dont
Gerry

asking price 30,000 euro, this might give you some idea of what youve got,
Gerry

hI it may be the orignal type which,has sort of flutes if thats the right name,they go down deeper into holder, and can be abit more diffucult to pull out. if its the new type just working around the lip with asmall screwdriver and it should come out, dont be to rough with it as its probley been in ...
