The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

sorry Paul, I'm a numptie this time, fools rush in and all that jazz. Dexta 1960 was 957E 44432 to 71920

Hi Jamie, one door, plenty draughts but, no rain

Hi Welderpaul, me again, I was on about the tractor serial no., this is stamped on the flange between the engine and gearbox, and yours will probably start with 09A

hello i'm back, have a look on Brians Dexta Register page and you will see what I mean

the serial no. normally starts with 09A or 09B , C or D , do you understand what I mean?

Some pics of my own cab (plus Toni the dog :) ). http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9663/8l5r.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3195/uoa9.jpg http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5391/c8zv.jpg http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7445/nex5.jpg http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/1897/4vni.jpg http://img...

by the way, two brackets on each wing

Great job Jamie, looking good. MY son will upload photos tomorrow hopefully

Hi Jamie, I'll need to get my son to do some photos in the next couple of days. By the way the Winsam badge is nothing special, however the cab fitted very well with a bracket on each wing and two brackets bolted to a bar that fits on the front below the fuel tank

Hi, just to let you know I found a Winsam cab for my baby 2 years ago,got it for a song £60 plus £30 transport. All in order but needs a paint coat,will eventually get round to if I ever stop usin it. All in alll a great buy

I've used tank sealer on a number of tanks, works perfect every time

sometimes you can squeeze the sensor through but only takes a couple of minutes to loosen the tank and it is then easy

go into dexta manual part three on the net

I got one from Southern Counties, same problem but with a lot of bashing about, eventually made it fit, that was in 2010 so things haven't changed!

Hooray! at last dry. Cut fine for a little while then started clogging up again. Blade is sharp,also used angle grinder on the bars just below the cutters as Brian said to but still clogging up under cutters

the problem is normally with the gear lever which will be worn with use. You need to weld onto bottom of gear lever to build it up to right size again then buff down to tidy it up,thats what I had to do with mine anyway.Surely someone will come in and tell you exactly what to do as I cannot remember...

thursday now, sorry still wet but after all this is Scotland where it's either raining, been raining or going to rain. Maybe try tomorrow but Saturday is out, taking my baby to the Perth Agricultural show, hopefully dry for that.

thanks for info Kiwi Kev, what effect would it have on a sickle/fingerbar mower?

sorry still wet

I was scanning parts, and not knowing much about accessories, can someone tell me what the pto overrun clutch is used for?

I have a 1962 super dexta and it has a sprung seat and cushion but still dont think its comfy

hi sky blue, three years since I did mine, same as you and have not had a problem

too wet yet but I can tell you cut grass clogs under cutting blade

hi Kyle, I had a petrol/tvo fergie before I found the dexta. The seat although old fashioned was more comfy than the dexta seat

thanks for your tips Brian, wet today again,will see what tomorrow brings. By the way a message to all my friends on the forum, tomorrow 26th July I reach the grand age of 65 years, where has it all gone?
