Looks like mine had been opened before There were dents and bezel seemed to be split, and possiblely had been silver soldered… unless that was a factory seam. Can see why needle moves but clock does not. The worm gear turns but the plastic gear and hour meter drive is seized, and all teeth have been...

The number I have dumped over the years ! . Same goes with Series 1 or 2 Landrovrrs !

That’s excellent.
Going to take a specially shaped stick to put one of those back !

Yes in reality olives are only one time use..but when you do not have any, wont be the first time it has been done! The tap end does still leak..so will need to get new one(s). But that is next month ..off to France tomorrow. Put a filter on the tap ? though there was a gauze one inside it any way ?...

Interesting about the castings, thanks Put a proper piece of fuel pipe to lift pump yesterday…,had to reuse the old olives by drilling them out !😂 Seems to NOT be leaking. Looked inside fuel tank, and blew air up through the tap. as a quick way to see if it chucked loads of sediment out up back in t...

Ok
Here is video

Well I got her running this afternoon, and she does not sound well. A random odd firing sound… then it is fine…then odd sound agsin… thinking valve train issues… Will put a video up on YouTube shortly. Regarding the atomiser tap.. yes, it does have one, but it has been fitted hidden..ideally need it...

Have to look closer next time… or maybe a pic of it… think I took one.
Seem to remember I first thought it had a tap that had snapped off, but after taking pic I got distracted and never looked agsin

Oh, no don’t want a singke clutch. Was just surprised to find it appeared to have one. Resistance and ammeter will show well enough it is working or not. The less I disturb at the moment tye better. Interesting about the tap. I had been told it was changed to prevent fuel leakage in to the inlet to ...

You say ‘As there are no weights in the wheels’ but did you mean there ARE weights in the wheels. If you had wheel weights, then a weight frame might be pointless, but with no wheel weights a Vicon or 600 litre sprayer on the back definitely needs from weight. Dad used to put a couple of 50kilo sack...

Yea, wiring diagram, I did find correct one. It is printed out and waiting to be used. https://www.tractorforum.com/attachments/dexta_wiring-pdf.88707/ Yes, that fuel filter.. totally daft, I have taken out and checked the original filter… did not have one in stock… but it flows fine for now. No cop...

It seems to be a new tap / primer pump assembly that has been fitted, but the plastic filter did not have any clips holding it. But yes, I see what you are saying, should be no restriction to fuel being sucked. Easy to remove the rubber hose from tank to see how much flow. Tank only has 3 litre of f...

I’ll read again on computer but my thought on the front cut out is that it looks more like it was done for a weight frame attachment point rather than just a registration plate. Cutting the front beam to bring the wheels in a bit narrower was common over here in Jersey too, although not to such a dr...

Any one ever taken apart a tacho or any one know of common failures of them? This one on my recent acquisition..a 1958, the input shaft is seized. Had a little heat on it and some duck oil, and it has a little movement, maybe 1 or 2 degrees, but does not turn. Opening it looks like an uncrimp the be...

When I read the title I was very impressed..i was thinking you were making a complete new hydraulic top cover !

a few pics would be nice, Sandy Sandy, since you asked. Had to borrow a set of wheels as the previous owner wanted the row crops he had on it back. Spaced wide because first job was going to be chop the body work off it..but now just getting it running is the first job. It might just end up I get i...

I always like to see the diesel squirting from the pipe .. which does require turning it over.
But need to get that sorted first

I found a 5 terminal wiring diagram here:

Hi thanks for the reply Where did you find the info about the Chassis number showing month of production ..so far I have only seen info relating to which year. "Shunt wired " was merely the term I was told that starter motors that only one direction are called. I have a box of about 6 of them from d...

I have posted my own question about starters, but if any of you have e-mail notifications to replies turned on, I might get direct to someone that knows straight off! ( yea a bit cheeky I know ) A standard Dexta starter motor… will it spin in correct direction no matter if it is connected positive o...

Hi all. Glad to see forum is still going, been a long time since I looked in. Have just been given a 1958 Dexta because they ran it out of diesel, filled it up and it would not start agsin…hmm.. think bleeding it was beyond them. 57E 15495 I went to put battery on yesterday and on battery tray was b...
