The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Mark ,where in NZ are you? TSG.

Kev, it will look like the one on the 4000.. http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz287/TheSwanndriGuy/DSC00517.jpg http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz287/TheSwanndriGuy/DSC00519.jpg http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz287/TheSwanndriGuy/DSC00521.jpg Have you ever noticed that your tractor looks wo...

Brian ,the suggestion of a cap/beanie with "The Fordson Tractors Pages" is only an "idea", that would be upto Oscar and/or moderators to decide if it goes any further. Since I'm folliclely challenged,I'm always wearing a hat, normally a beanie to keep my head warm or a cap to keep the sunlight out o...

I've often thought that a "Fordson Tractor Pages" cap and/or beanie would be a good idea. :clap: ( naturally in Fordson blue.)Brian, the gazebo that you want, is that so you can keep out of the sun because of the heat or so you don't get sunburnt? ( Over here in NZ, even on an overcast day you can g...

Peter, I would say it's most likely that engine parts for the petrol Dexta are the same as MF 35/135 petrols, but no doubt there will be exceptions as there will be unique parts for the petrol Dexta.(Like the top and bottem radiator hoses.)Let us know what you get and where you source your parts and...

I feel so left out There are still quite a few Petrol Dexta's in New Zealand They still come up on "Trade Me" quite often. Some have been returned to the UK too... TSG.

Ben, yes you can run the IH 440 on the back of a Super Dexta, as we did in the same paddock as in the picture, back in the 1980's, you just have to go slow and use the live drive.The Dexta on the other hand might just be too underpowered for a 440, but should run a IH B47 ( I've got one of them too,...

Merry Christmas , and a Happy New Year. :buddies: ...make hay while the sun shines, while most of you will be playing in the snow, this is what I'll be doing! TSG. http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz287/TheSwanndriGuy/DSC00455.jpg PS. To all you South Island guys, may there be less flooding and ea...

Pavel, you might have to explain "Buckleys chance" Maybe some of the members on the forum on the "top side" of the equator might not know what that means. TSG.

Thats One nice looking Dexta but will any of my Dexta's ever look that good? TSG.

Bensdexta wrote:Forgive me for asking, but why would you want to fit a 6cyl engine to a Dexta?

Good answer Ben.Yes other engines have been put in Dexta's ,but I personaly think with a Dexta it doesnt get any better than the Super Dexta engine. As for "Dexta's Perkins" TSG

Jan, allways looking for Ransomes ploughs in NZ, but not many over here Maybe I will have to get one from back from Holland?? As for politics ( And ALLEGED relation/politician) TSG.

Jan, I thought that maybe after a few Heinekins that the ploughing might improve! As for knowing about the Heinekin factory, its not the I drink beer :beer: or to their promotion, its because thats where my father and grand parents come from :clap: .In saying that most of my uncles and aunts also co...

Jan , thanks for the pictures...not far from Zoeterwoude/Weipoort BTDT. Any Heineken on site when your ploughing Cheers TSG.

Hi there "kiwimc" ,nice to see another Kiwi on the forum with some Fordsons, where in Godzone are you??? "The Swanndri Guy"

Or can you use a generator off a 1000's Series that has a tach drive on the end of it???

Peter, if I was closer to Nelson AND on the same island, I'd be down there with the L200 and trailer ASAP, but from here its just too far and I have not got the time :cry: still looking at the Petrol Dexta in Huntly on Trade Me, the price is coming down slowly,but they still want too much for it :ey...

Hi Adam, where in New Zealand are you and could you post some pictures of your Dexta/Super Dexta? TSG.

Both the 5000x and 5000y both have 4.2 inch stroke.(Unlike the 4000x with 4.2 inch and 4000y with 4.4 inch store.)Any pictures Kev?

Only my 3000 has a name, its called "Basil", not as in "Brush" but as in "Faulty" ....it only needed the engine,clutch,hydraulics,brakes,steering,electrics,cooling system fixed and new tyres. TSG.

I will try a Bareco repair kit on the carb on my petrol Dexta as soon as I have got the distributor back together.The throttle shaft has a lot of undesirable movement in it. TSG.

Oh, that sinking feelling Where are you from Dell? Cheers TSG.

E45NP6, where are you, somewhere in Australia? TSG.

Finally Kev , a picture of the might Major on Norfolk Island! Has there been any snow up the mountain?TSG.

Pascal, can you date a Vicon Acrobat from a serial number? Down here in NZ the must be 100's of them.The one we have here, was probably purchased new in the early 60's or late 50's. TSG.
