Here is how it works: You can make an account on the website, so you...

send me the pics and i can put them up
i’d like to see them too
I will send you my email in a private message

I am sure with a few pics and measurements you would easily find a local metal worked to knocking up for you

I see you are in SA..where about?

I am in Jersey now, the island, not USA..but spent time in and around Jo'burg, Midrand and later up in Uganda and the Congo ...

Always too many other jobs Getting top cover off was a long job, due seized pins on lift arms and trailer hitch attachment. No oxy acetylene any more, so the pins got removed slowly over a number of YEARS ! Bit of propane heat, penetrating oil and random jacks and rams to fashion a ‘pusher’. Would c...

Hello, If you go to the New Holland parts list (the link is in this thread: https://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7876) you can find the sizes of the o-rings on the hydraulics. oooooohh that is nice I have the old copies of the original Fordson parts lists from here from ye...

Edit...I started this off as a simple single question but got carried away and waffled on a bit..apologies.. :D I had a hydraulic top cover O Ring kit (amongst other parts) from Old 20's and it seems not a great kit, at least one missing, and one the wrong size ( big one under the ASC valve )... so...

Thanks Les I did not remember it, but seeing that the detent spring system has three positions it made me wonder. I had rebuilt the gearbox probably 10 -15 years ago (reverse idler died), and could not remember if I had done any work in that section as well..was wondering if I had re assembled somet...

My grandfathers Dexta , early model,lights on outside of nose, single stage clutch, has been out of use and laid up in one shed or another from the mid 90's with gearbox issues. Fixed them in 2004/05 and did a bit of body work, not got around to putting it back together fully till yesterday. Now she...

Do you happen to know what sort of PSI you are getting at the aux service valve?

I had a gauge on mine today, and it hits about 1400 then drops to 800. Seems very low.
I am asking becsuse, with weight on the lift arms ( transport box). hydraulics don't lift.

So long since I used my old Dexta that I cant remember, does it / should it have a ground PTO position or does the lever jsut ahve two positions? Just replaced the clutch pedal busing and while checking that the pto lever selector has located correctly i see that there is no groun dPTO. This is the ...

As I said in the first post, open to any offers, price of a couple of beers ?
I'll check it is still there and get a postage cost

Send me yout address by private messsge

I know this is not strictly Fordson, but I am not going to go and look out for a 'modern' Ford forum just to put a few parts up for sale. I have here two PTO guards, screw on types, ones is straight and the other is 'bell shaped'. Seem to remember the straight one is Ford 4000, so assume the other i...

thanks

I'll check with my father , see if we ever had one ..likely , we were a veg farm

This is fitted to the RH lift arm ...and my uncle did tell be what it was for, but he has gone now...Pretty sure it WAS not a stabiliser attachment..but maybe

Any one have any idea

I have a front grille verticl abadge, plus a selection of bonnet badges..but I am pretty sure that they came off of other tractors I scrapped. I have been looking at another one that is totally original..in a shed of a farmer down the road from me..he is in his 90's it is within a few hundred serial...

Ah, no tyres, I know the sort now. Nope, not got any of those .

Looks like I can't help then :( Also means that if none that I have are Dexta, the search for a set for mine continues too. We only ever had one Fergie that I remember and all the others of this vintage were Dextas , or later on MF135's with the wider rims. All of those rims have come off of Dextas,...

No idea if they were all like mine or not. We never had an actual plate on ours, the number used to be painted on the diff housing between the mounting brackets . None of ours had wing mounted either, and the front on ones here in jersey, I only ever saw them painted on the from too, below the grill...

No, I did not mean which model Fergie , I meant which of the 4 types of wheel pictured are you bsaying are from a Fergie.

Which ones? There are 4 different sets there.

If any of you 'orrible lot ever visit Jersey and need space to pitch a tent / park a camper van for a few nights, feel free to pop down my place. No charge, except a flagon of your local brew, be it cider/ ale etc. :beer: 07797 722 569 Plenty of fire wood, sofa under the trees and workshop if needed...

Title say sit all.
Looking for an original LH wing tool box.

Does not need to be perfect, rusted out base , or a few rust holes..no problem, I can repair of need be.
Yes I can buy a new one, but wanted to get an original..

if it had the trailer socket and mont, even better

I have various fronts, that i am not sure what they are all from. if you recognise any let me know. I am trying to make up a pair of 4 inch fronts for my 59 Dexta, but not 100% sureI have the correct ones yet. I need a set of two for myself, the rest will be spare Top right corner of first pic is on...

I'v sent you a private message...someone I know might be interested

Apparently the name 'Dexter" originated from the French / Jersey French name Poindestre, which became americanised to Poindexter and the shortened to 'Dexter' I too get annoyed by lazy spelling, so much of it these days, in my posts at least is due to fat fingers, poor typing skills, auto spell corr...
