One addition I would suggest ti to add a External Hydraulic Return to enable Hydraulic implements such as a Log Splitter. This is what I did on my Dexta. It just requires a hole drilled and tapped into the Filler plug on the rear axle. If you need a picture then message me with your email address or...

Where are you based? I have one you can have. BA20QD NE Somerset

Where are you located?

Sorry to hear of this. Have you loosened all three unions at the injectors and cranked it over to see if you have fuel spitting from all three unions? If you have no delivery to No1 then I would get the injector pump serviced. What is your fuel level? It might sound like a daft question but make sur...

So nice to see people putting themselves out so selflessly to help others in these strange time. A big thank you to all the admins people.

Many years ago when I was refurbishing my Dexta the copper gasket had corroded away. I went to RS components and found a pack of Copper shim sheet (Various thicknesses) and they were big enough to make up a gasket from the thickest sheet. Take a look here but not sure if this will accommodate the si...

Have you fitted a steady bar from the link arm to below the axle? That will prevent the mower swinging and give a consistent swathe.
See my post about isolation.

So long as you maintain the correct PTO speed then it depends on what the material is your cutting will determine the ground speed. I have cut general weeds on a plot for my neighbour who is self isolating and found that some parts it was Low 1st and others it was High 1st so just listen to how the ...

Occupied myself for an hour yesterday!

I regularly use my Dexta with a Logsplitter. with lift arms you have many distinct advantages: 1. You can move the Logsplitter to where you want to use it and put it back when finished. 2. The arms provide a solid brace when using the Logsplitter. 3. You can use the Logsplitter at a convenient heigh...

I used a Machine Mart engine stand when I refurbished my Dexta engine. Made the job much easier as you could rotate the block when for example fitting the Pistons and Con Rods. I also got some threaded rod and fitted them on the Bell housing in several bolt holes so that guiding the block onto the B...

I don't think they need a huge amount of oil. If there was too much then the stems could be swamped and the oil would find its way down the stem to the valve face and it may cause excess oil consumption or sooting up of the exhaust valve.

Landowner, The pipework and fittings are standard BSP fittings so you can get the parts quite easily. If you Google " 1/4" BSP Male Male " there are lots available such as https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/1945135145?iid=232608316815&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=2326083168...

Hi Likka There is a link available here on the Dexta section to On line Repair Manauals. This will take you to the NewHolland parts website. This is what I believe you need: https://partstore.agriculture.newholland.com/us/parts-search.html?csid=225791fdc421938856ea4df3d4d7e1e9&sl=EN¤cy=#epc::m...

Hi
I wrote an article on modernising a Dexta's electrics and it is availableat the top of the Dexta page under Wikipedia. It might be worth taking a look. any problems then message me.

Agriline do number plate brackets for fixing onto the diff:

Not necessarily, anywhere to cut costs and incorporate some built in redundancy!!

If you are ploughing then the inside face of the front right tyre must align with the inside face of the rear tyre to ensure both tyres follow the wall of the previous furrow. Doesn't this affect wheel adjustment?

The differential in the rear axle allows the driven wheels to turn at a different speed when turning (the inner wheel will turn slower than the outer wheel). This is all well and good for the majority of driving whether on the road or in a field. The purpose of the difflock is to stop the differenti...

Hi I painted most of my block especially those areas covered by other items fitted later. This includes behind the starter motor and the fuel injection pump. where gaskets are expected to be positioned leave them bare metal. I rebuilt mine over 12 years ago and had it out to top my neighbours field ...

IMHO that is the weep hole at the front of the bell housing so I gues that your rear main bearing seal is leaking. The oil has run into the bell housing and if you get oil on the clutch then you will lose traction. The solution is to (sorry to say!) is to remove the engine completely, remove the sum...

I used an engine stand from Machine Mart for £78.00. Holds my Dexta engine no problem.

Easily dismantles for storage.

Have you "Flashed" the Dynamo? If it is polarised (Flashed) the wrong way it can be catastrophic. Knew a chap who replaced the Dynamo on a Ford Taunus (V4) and didn't realise the Dynamo rotated anti-clockwise. He burnt out several Dynamo's and control boxes before I spotted that the cooling fan vane...

Just looked at an old post of mine (2015)and the Photobucket pics have re-appeared!
