We had a stuck drum on the dexta about 18 years ago, we were changing a rear seal due to oil on the brakes. We removed the axle which is pretty easy. Being cast we didnt use the heavy hitter instead luckly at that time my father had access at work to a large workshop press. One of the guys built a r...

Check the condition of the timing cover behind the water pump as corrosion here is common when no plate is fitted between. Our didnt corrode through but Im sure someone posted it was thier source of water in engine oil. http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=10117&highlight=pump#10...

Wow my kids would love living there. When the water really gets higher (for who believes it will be within 20 years) it might be Arnhem at Sea or something like that, but my region will be still dry. Hmm, cant see the science of the whole 'seas rising' theories. Ice has a greater density than water ...

Thanks all

Sorry but pretty sure you need the tank off to get the vertical rod due to the bulky cam at the bottom. The area between the tank and steering box is quite tight.

Ok if its anti theft as opposed to anti start your looking for I've had my eye on a great ground anchor, chain and lock set to chain down my caravan (my last one was stolen) from here: http://www.torc-anchors.com/torc-ground-anchor.php They are Sold Secure Commercial Gold (including plant, agricultu...

My dexta's rad mount is held with 5mm steel pop rivits ( Mole Valley Farmers if you have one near ) then the Vapormatic coppery rad sealer that seems very good. Thanks TMC. I knew someone here must have dealt with this before. How long have you run with your 'repair'? (<-- I'll resist calling it a ...

Condensation from the inside of the castings makes the oil go milky, shouldn't be an issue unless its rearly thick and gloopy.

Nice pics thanks for sharing - I see you have some hefty rear wheel weights too.

Photos of your problem would be nice but lets see your tractor!

john.n wrote:any idea what caused it to rust through from the inside?

Yep... engine coolant, its a cap for the water jacket.

What we have here is a corroded water plate from the rear of the engine head (no# 54 on the diagram image). The only reason it hasn't leaked coolant is due to the corrosion and water diposits that hve built up behind the plate and sealed the hole. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d58553_f1cdef7cd7...

Ok our radiator has been on our minds for a while. When we removed it last October time during its strip down we noticed that the bottom mounting plate which should be riveted to the bottom section of the rad is holding on by what can only be described as rust, see the photos: http://img535.imagesha...

Agriline stock the spares for the fixed drop arm and level box including just the bottom fork casting if thats all you require.
We are running our SDexta with a TE20 level box after the threads stripped on the original.

still I know which I would prefer driving:

connect the heater to the output on the battery (not ground) and the other to the threaded part of the heater plug. leave it for 40 seconds and it should be hot. If you do this dont go touching it or holding it in your fingers as it will get HOT!! If its not been used for a while it will most likle...

If you are fitting a new pump, make sure that you also fit the brass plate between the pump and the timing case to prevent corrosion or erosion of the aluminium. Gerald A good example of the timing cover aluminum corrosion is on our super dexta in this thread: http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpb...

One thing i have noted is that a MF 135, Back Plate is much similar, the Dexta uses 10 studs and the 135 uses 12 but the Dexta plate has 2 unused holes, "I wonder". I can confirm the rear axle shims are the same size and hole width and dimentions etc.. as you point out the dexta has 2 studs less, b...

Hi there check out the photos on our web page at: https://www.fordsonsuperdexta.co.uk/GeneralPhotos Theres a couple of our SuperD pulling a MF baler - cant remember the model number but it used to do around 15 acres a year on quite hilly terrain After we have finished the dexta rebuild the bailer/tu...

I think the Ford 2000 shared the same axle beam but not sure of the other axle parts. Agriline sell the king pins/spindles (Left+Right) for the dexta at £35 each and their description is: Spindle LH Early 2000 10.75" long part nos# 5196 & 5197. They are also listed on the Ford 2000 page along with ...

Was in the Agriline showroom this afternoon and while they were getting out order together we were mooching and saw three boxes of the rod sleve (the one with the felt washer) they look good but arnt on the website yet, we also saw a box of the aformentioned rods. The rods look ok but the 'eye' end ...
