Re: Old Vehicles
No one on here has mentioned Brexit but we might just have dodged the bullet here in Great Britain. I understand that the EU are looking into removing all vehicles above a certain age from the roads. You can still own "Historic Vehicles" but they must not be used other than to show and must be trai...

Re: Very quiet forum?
There are also a couple of facebook pages run by Alan Condie which are quite good for chats and sales and wants. These seem quite busy. But being facebook these are blogs and somewhat disorganised, so finding info is tedious, but OK for quick questions etc. Also posting pics on facebook is easier. A...

Re: Super dexta oil ring
Which are the best rings?
Seeing as our engines seem to be prone to blowing oil, are some rings better than others at reducing blow-bye?
TIA

If you can get them to the mainland sometime when you're travelling, I'm sure there would be buyers. Meanwhile regard them as appreciating assets!

Re: Where is this tractor now
It went back to the dealer, South Yorkshire Motors, in Pontefract. I think the local council bought it next, but I don't knoe how long they kept it. I'm not sure how to do a dvla check? "WY" is a Yorkshire reg. It would be worth phoning the County Council and speaking to their archivist, who may be...

Perhaps DVLA could tell you when it was last taxed?

The insurance database says that no vehicle of this reg is insured. of course this doesn't mean that it doesn't exist!

Re: Substitute fuel filter carrier
I think one of these off a later Dexta / Super D, would also fit, but you might need some different length bolts to secure to eng block, see here:
http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb ... hp?p=18833
It's marked D08-1 on the top of the housing.

Re: Substitute fuel filter carrier
Get a 2nd hand one.
Have a look on ebay, email anyone selling dexta parts / breaking dextas.
Also try malcolm Hipperson, Bertie Dunlop etc... There should be plenty out there.

Re: Removing Rear Wheel
The usual techniques:
Soak nuts with penetrating oil for as long as poss, ideally weeks. If the nuts don't come loose, gently heat them up with a torch and allow to cool. repeat several times. If that doesn't work, heat nuts up, then quench with cold water, repeat. They will come loose!

Handbrake shouldn't move when you step on the brakes. Kiwimc has the answer.

What sort of hand brake do you have, a handle on the left or the earlier latch arrangement on the right?
