Definitely a lash-up as I think you suspected. Probably a Super D air cleaner, with no provision for the throttle.

Hope you get some proper bits sorted!

On a pneumatically governed Dexta, the friction assembly (items 10-17) is mounted on the air cleaner. Some of those parts can be bought from Agriline, but your best bet is a breaker. Fordson Dexta 13 on ebay is a good place to start, he may be able to help you. You could also try Malcolm Hipperson o...

Like tractors, the Oldies are the best!

Terry, you should have a thin brass backing plate as well as the gasket.
Hope the new pump works well - Mine did.

On my TE20 I have turnbuckle stabilisers from the Cat.1 pin on the mudguard anchor bracket to the joint of the drop arm and the lift arm - the old fixing is removed and a new one, with an extended Cat.1 pin, is fitted (it also has a check chain retainer). On the basis if it fits a TE20 it will fit ...

Your engine block casting date is 5th Oct 1958, and your eng number which fits with my unofficial list of engine dates. So not a Super D block, but quite an early standard block. I can't tell you which thread your pressure switch will have, suggest you just remove it and see. You can easily test you...

What grade oil are you using?

Consensus on here is that for UK we should be using 30W (and not multigrade).

Have a search on here for oil pressure, particularly for Brian's posts, as he has made quite a study on oils for our old ladies.

As said above, the bars form a simple triangular linkage that limits lateral movement of the implement, eg to stop it fouling the tyres. In my experience, chains work better than bars. Chains only work in tension, whereas bars are alternately loaded in tension and compression. On my tractor the push...

Check for cracks in the engine block, esp the LH side towards the front, below the head.

Why ask Ben! the answer is evident, its a Bl***Y Ferguson part! :curse: :curse: :curse: :D :D :D Certainly one explanation! Looks like the MF ram is offset - what a pita! :( I wonder who makes the MF shafts and whether they would make us a batch of proper shafts, as it should be easy to move the sp...

Why are the splines on the new shaft offset?

Are the Dexta and MF cylinder arms different?

Glad it worked out
Perfect job!

You won't get the cooling without it. How much that matters, depends on how hard you want to work her and in what temps.

I may have one. If you send me the dims, and ideally a photo I will check for you, if you wish.

I second oehrick's comment about being clinically/chemically clean.

I've had alloy wheels recoated and on some the coating has failed after 5-10 years, presumably because of underlying corrosion.

What's wrong with paint?

Yes Brian, I think that is right. The landowner is responsible for anything that happens on his land, so if someone is hurt by a tractor, quad, bike, ...., that is the same as a tree falling on someone's head, being attacked by his cows or an electric shock. As you say, all landowners should have 3r...

See Electrical System, page 21 for correct Super D wiring diag: http://www.fordson.se/9_10_Dexta_verkstadshandbok_199-234.pdf Note that for the Super D, the key switch is separate from the light switch, a much more reliable set-up. Where did you get your loom from? In my experience, the best replace...

According to this, you shake the two up and spray:

Pretty certain that Super D warning lights are the same as for a Standard D. Have a search on here for lenses and bulb holder. You want insulated bulb holders (two wires), and can get them from Autosparks. I suggest pressed steel lens holders, see Forge Services. eg see, http://www.fordsontractorpag...

How did that come about?

Looks like the Forge ones are 35mm longer than original Dexta arms. I'd prefer to keep the original length, but email him for more details - he's usually very helpful. Yes that's quite a steep price, but they appear to be new and forged. I'd keep looking for an original arm, if time allows. Or get y...

Contact FordsonDexta13 on ebay.

Looks a most useful rack you got on the 3PL.

How many bales can you carry?

Lovely Dexta and pics.

Great when neighbours help out - like the old days!

http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/ubb/Forum5/HTML/001302.html I would say that 1000kg is pushing it from a stability point of view, with no front weights. Remember also the point about the lift weight being specified at the lower link ball ends - the further back the CG of the load you lift and the ...

I converted my standard dexta to super. Bought an original super D light switch on ebay and fitted a separate Honeywell key 'ignition' switch on the RHS as per super. Works great, no electrical probs after 5yrs.

Its all clear now Ben I can see the difference. To be quite honest I would never have spotted that. Ive noticed that the new nose cones that are for sale seem to be the same as the one I have fitted. Now that its painted and fitted its going to stay on the tractor but it will probably niggle me for...
