Unless you want to keep it original I went to Radio Shack and picked up a red and green indicator light assembly similar to this http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3017351#tabsetBasic that fit the hole and replaced the originals. Looks good and probably won't have to change a bulb...

As I recall the first number does indicate the width of the tire.

Congratulations on solving the problem. Has to make you feel a lot better. Thanks also for letting us know what the problem was.

"therapy tractors"

Excellent.

Nice work on the forks. I envy you being able to go out and cut wood. I used to really enjoy that in the fall. It's also good to see you putting your tractor to work and using it for what it was intended for. Half the fun of owning one of these tractors is getting it dirty.

Around here it is known as a hydraulic hoist or hydraulic dump. Either way they sure beat a shovel.

Welcome. If you had to inherit something you did just about as good as possible.
Nice tractor!

I need to find an old 1 1/2 ton truck to do that with. Great idea and thanks for posting the photos. It surprises me that you have the oil capacity to operate that large of a cylinder.
You have less snow than we do. That's unusual.

As soon as my batteries go bad I'm switching to a single.

Looks very nice.
Good to hear that everything works the way it is suppose to also.

Thank for your efforts. You have a wonderful forum here.

They are a great tractor. They never sound like they are working hard and Mine never smokes either. Just keeps on ticking.
Thanks for the photos and video.

Very purdy

Went through the same thing last summer. Thought the pump was leaking but it wasn't. It was the farrell on the fuel line. Cut the end of the fuel line off with the old farrell and replace it with a new farrell. No more leak. After the fuel line fitting is tightened a few times the farrell crushes th...

are you gonna change the air from winter to summer air at the same time

Doesn't everybody do that? Won't summer air freeze in the winter

While picking up those tires I saw a -63 Super Major with engine problem and I bought it

You have a bad case of Fordson fever!

I'm no expert on anything :roll: but form what I've seen they do tend to hunt some when you first start them up but after a minute or two it should settle down to a steady speed. I know mine does no matter the outside temperature and the others I've seen on videos seem to do the same thing. If it co...

I'm pretty sure mine is a 61 but I don't know if it was sold as a 61 or 62.

The Red and Green lights were the only change I made on my Dexta. My oil light is now Red as in stop this thing right now. The generator light is now green. My other tractors have a red warning lights for the oil pressure and I wanted this one the same.

Fordson Mud Buggy?

I just noticed your front wheels and I'm wondering if they are original?
I don't recall seeing split rims on one of these tractors before.

You are really putting some work into that thing. Going to be better than new when your done

That's a heck of a load your pulling with no rear wheel weights. Are you rear tires filled with fluid?

Thanks for all the information. Mine doesn't have the original grill so I have no idea what lights were used. Nice to know that they were mounted both ways. It could have VW lights on it and I'd still really like it.

That's a completely different "long bar, short bar" than I've ever seen before. Is there a name on the side of the tire
