Just for your information. When I installed the rear-lights and went to the technical inspection, they made one remark : rear lights are not correctly installed. They were at the original position but this is behind the rear axle and according to the belgian regualations : no white lights allowed be...

I do not have Semperit but I can reply on your other question :
Can 'tubeless' tyres be used with inner tubes? YES

Ben,
I use all Radials.

I doubt if the old diagonals (cross-ply) for the traction wheels are still easy to find.
For the implements, yes.

Pascal, it is depending on what "antifreeze" you use. If it is coolingliquid (kant en klaar), the seals (main gasket) are not that resistant to it. These liquids are more agressive. My uncle has a Ford 4000 and started using cooling-liquid since a short time. Result : now leaking... If it is pure "G...

Gerry,
I'll check the "technical inspection report" . I went with my dexta to the technical inspection some time ago, but if I remember well : MTM = ± 6 000 kg.

You can also call the "Inspection Mobile" or "Autokeuring", they have tables for this.

Joep, these copper washers should be there to have that chamber closed. Fordson partnuber : 957E-6K003 Shape : original : round / circular But the shape is not the most important, it is only important that the plate is sealed. I have once installed new ones and they had the same shape as the cover-p...

Steve, this double-clutching is bringing the ingoing and outgoing axles of the gear-box turning at the same speed, so the gears "take" easier. ad is needed in case the gear-box has no synchronizing This is done in 2 ways : - at increasing speed : Push down clutch - Put in 1-st gear - Release clutch ...

Brian,
Hope we can meet ..... somewhere...

Ben, when you check the manuals of the tyre-manufacturer, best fit is a W11 RIM. A W9 RIM is also ok, but the tyre will look more round and more under tension. A W10 Rim is very difficult to find , so just forget this. If you can get W11 rims, you can put bigger tyres on, but the outer diamer also i...

Strawhouse,

my advice is to check the entire front system, starting from Front wheel till Steering wheel.

the lock in the front axle steering arm Spindel could have broken.

till insufficient oil in the steering housing causing the inner parts to slide very difficult ...

Stefan,

congratulations with the nice work.

Now you trailer and Bailer and off you can go into the fields...

Welcome to the world of $$ exchange Example!!!!!!!!! Somewhere in Africa, a man appears with the announcement that he wants to buy some monkeys at 10$ per piece. People in the village all knew that there are a lot of monkeys in the woods, so they all went out catching .... The man bought several at ...

Terry, the life clutch is for both life hydraulics and the PTO. Both are operated by the same axle. The second clutch allows changing gears without stopping any implement or the lift. Just engage the PTO and check if that one is running. When you put a high load (mower) on that PTO, does it continue...

Ok she was at that moment only 5 years and we are dutch speaking (normally)..

Aldo, no problem. Technology is continously changing : look at the first 2 stroke diesel : injection pressure of 6 Bar (whow) where as now, the modern engines have an injection pressure of above > 1200 bar .. These modern tractors also use other oils thant our bue sweety : Multipurpose where we use ...

All, Diesel is defined by it CETANE number (50). This number is an indication of the how good the fuel is "selfburning" LPG,Gazoline, ... are defined by the OCTANE number. This number indicates the quality of burning due to the fuel/air mixture explosion if a spark is given, avoiding selfburning due...

Ben, The only difference is the HP that goes from 32 to 44 BHP. That's it. So, using the tractor is more depending on the added options. But these can be mounted on both Dexta and Super Dexta. Example : Live hydraulics / Front Loader / Rear pulley / .... To give you some idea : I use a 1.8m Grass-mo...

Gerry, my advice is not to use this oil, unless the engine was 100% overhauled and even than.... The spec stands for a oil that can be used in high-performance engines so they have a very high detergent content. Brian, the 10W40 is normally a semi-synthetic or even full synthetic oil. check this lin...

yes, that's the one. an yes, it is a slow process.

Ben, More information can be found in the site of Czech Rubber Group ( Continental = Semperit = Barum = Mitas = Euzkadi) who produces these tyres => www.cgs-tyres.com or directly to their On-line databooks => Continental : http://www.cgs-tyres.com/uploads/media/Continental_Databook_2008.pdf Semperit...

Gerry, the brand Duchams is Shark of Castrol who is owned by BP ... If it is oil for Diesel engines, it should be fine. When you go to those car tuning shops etc. you will find a lot of different brands with or without special additives (Graphite, Teflon ..) Keep those out of the engine. Just a stra...
