The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

As my tractor is 300 miles from my home I went down there after I posted my exasperational post with the intent of getting that blasted nut off even if I rounded it off and ruined the plug. Well good news. I put a big pipe wrench on it ..and convinced it to move. Nut is off, oil drained and plug rui...

I need an oil pan... The oil pan plug is a bastard and is frozen...rusted to the pan.
I looked at agriline and yesterday's tractor and did not find any available .

Frustrated beyound belief

Unbelievable...a old Super Dexta...sitting rusting into the earth...
Been trying to catch a moment to snatch a couple of pics


Working on the pics... The new Photobucket doesn't have the edit function..at least not on mobile ( using cellphone)
Anyways... I'll git er done

Hey guys.. Went and installed starter and hooked it up. The lever still does not push gear into flywheel. Gear does not spin or engage.. it's like the starter gear and flywheel gear are blocking each other. Do I make a jumper going straight from the battery and touch the starter terminals and get it...

Thanks Bill..
Your statement is also true about "off-road diesel?"

Hey... My Dexta has been silent for 6 months. It is at another Shark 300 miles from me and just haven't been there over this harsh fall and winter. It had a good half tank of diesel. Should I prepare to drain the intake lines and tank and refill with fresh? The starter broke in the fall and haven't ...

Hey.. yeah..I PMd u awhile ago... I'll email u soon...mine is tareece at a0ldot comm

Work in Statesville.. live in Advance, near Winston-Salem

I can't recall if there was smoke or not. I was mainly focused on why the starter would spin without the lever depressed. I wanted to chase down the short so I removed the starter and solenoid ( it was mounted separately on firewall--is that the Noid we are referring too?) My 67 mustang has one just...

Ok.. bare with me. Tried to start tractor...would not engage. This had happened several times before..always ended up finally engaging So I Jiggled and tried over and over.. Finally it engaged but would not disengage and I jerked it back up. I tried again and could only get the starter to spin.. I t...

Wow.... a car quality paint job... Geez louise!

Wonderful!

Blacken up the tyres get them to match the beauty of the tractor...

Gosh, I would never believed a tractor that could be so slick and 'wet' looking...

Congrats!

glad the photo helped m8 what do u think is actualy shredding the tyre ? is it the link arm or part of the b/ hog , topper ? i agree well worth trying to stop it happening any more if u can . looks like u already have the tractor part of the stabiliser assembly fitted on the mudgard bolts , is ther...

Thanks Kiwi
I wonder... Is there some additive, or silicone that I can cover the cracks with to make sure they don't develop leaks? Or am I looking at replacing the tire in the future (not cheap!)?

Here are the pics of the tires that I promised... BTW... thanks for posting those chain pics Tom Lad http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m520/tareece/003-1.jpg http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m520/tareece/002-2.jpg I see that I have some chains.... Take 'em up a link or 2 or get longer arms? Tha...

My brush hog used to sway quite a bit until I shortened the sway chains on the three point. Now it only moves back and forth maybe 6 inches at most. No chains on mine Your lower three point arms should extend well beyond your back tires. Makes me wonder about your mower hitting the tires. I'll have...

great pictures / story good luck with it all i run a fishery, but different species on my side of the pond :beer: Thanks Tom. I just hope the story continues to evolve and we make it close to what we want.... Visiting in a camper is ok for now... but no running water, no electricity, no septic make...

If your close to the coast I hope you have some high ground to park the Dexta on. Oddly enough, the whole area is about 2-3 ft above sea level. The area I have set up at right now was built maybe 2 ft higher. If you look at the satellite pic, you can see small dark streaks surrounding the PRO=PERT-...

Looks like old Beauregard has had a hard life. If he looses another leg or two he is really going to be in rough shape. Blue crabs don't have claws? They can shed them (and legs) at will... Its one way they can escape... ofcourse they tend to hold onto food real tight so they can get caught in snar...

Yeah the weather can change on a moments notice.... but this is the pond during a evening sunset a couple of days after the storm.. http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m520/tareece/272.jpg Heres one of the ponds residents... a blue crab... named him Beauregard http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m52...

Yep... took my Dexta down to my 12+ acre plot and started putting her to work. Heres a sat elitte image of the acreage http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m520/tareece/Coulbourn-HydeCounty-Ariel3-mapcard-web.jpg It has a large rectanglular portion that is 9acres, a 1 acre plot and the 2.5 acre pond....

Soooo, a new rebuilt generator I guess is the solution?

Ooops, long day... with 5 more hours of driving with 3500 lbs of cargo... I meant Alternator... and what the flip was I thinking about when I typed "shark"... other than I just bought a boat for fishing... a premonition perhaps???? Rebuilding a generator is not on my Wifey's top 100 to do list... I ...

Looks like Kev got it right... Son says distributor/generator pulley is seized. Can someone tell me what to look for as far as a difference from gen to distributor? Looks like a distributor to me. I'll be gone all week to the coast. Leaving late tonight. So please if any more ideas on freeing the pu...

Thanks for the responses. The other broke... I did not pay attention to the damage. I assumed (ha) that it was just age... I was pulling a truck out of a mud bog and the I didn't even notice (was looking back at the truck) until the poor dexta started pinging and steaming... I'll chk on the seizing....
