Re: Dexta -60 project

Now only wiring harness and fender lights are missing :) My friend made those stickers to the engine covers. I had to buy this without any test run, but luckily the hydraulics and transmission works perfectly 8) http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i12/isolaatta/Dexta%20-60/1442013_zpsf2691828.jpg

Re: Super Major -62 (engine rebuild)

Ok. I asked from Agriline about the camshaft they are selling, and they said that the cam profiles are same as original :roll:

I also found good used camshaft, but its fitted with three bolts. In my Major its fitted with one bolt.. Can I fit this three bolt cam if I change also the gearwheels :?:

Re: Super Major -62 (engine rebuild)

Re: Super Major -62 (engine rebuild)

That damage has occurred during the work. Could it be normal piston seizure caused by excess wear and too much dirt in combustion chamber?

I have also magnaflux in my use :)

Re: Super Major -62 (engine rebuild)

Re: Super Major -62 (engine rebuild)

I have to check the casting codes and take some pics of the hydraulics.. Yesterday we picked up Major, and today disassembled it for 2,5 hours.. Only one piston/liner damaged.. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i12/isolaatta/Super%20Major%20-63/20130406_122904_zpsb4a2bac3.jpg http://i68.photobucket....

Re: Super Major -62 (engine rebuild)

Ok, thanks for fast respond. What a pity :? It is strange, because the grey paint seems to be original? Even under the grey paint you can't see any orange.. And in the papers this is -63. Maybe sold in Finland in 1963..

Super Major -62

Bought this yesterday, while I was buying new front tires to my Dexta.. It was so cheap that I had to buy it :lol: Engine has some problem and needs attention. Maybe the complete rebuild would be the best choice.. Previous owner already repaired the lifting hydraulics, rear axle sealings and brakes....
