Hi, No I haven't yet. There is no adjustment in the bottom bolts, so that can't be the problem. It is as far forward as it can go on the top slides where it attaches to the radiator. I am a bit lost and fed up with it to be honest, and don't really know what to do, other than cut my shiny new nose c...

Hi,

Maybe someone can advise which are the correct bonnet handles for 1958 Dexta please!

1)



2)



Thanks,

Hi Ben.

If I had just bought them, I would do, however I bought them over a year ago, so might be pushing my luck a bit now

Hi Mark.

They would be the ones I would go for if I was to buy again, I will have to make do and bodge (I mean skillfully engineer) the bodge that I have bought...

Well I think we can conclude that it's best not to get the grill retainers from Ag******!

I have seen some that look ok on eBay, but have not bought them so don't know if they work ok or not

Hi. I have been in contact with Stefan and he assured me that fordsondexta.de will be back online shortly....
I await with interest.

To bypass the solenoid put a screwdriver or something temporarily across the two terminals on the solenoid.

I must stress BE CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE THAT THE TRACTOR IS OUT OF GEAR BEFORE DOING THIS!

Hi Gerald,

That's exactly the place I have been looking

Thanks,

Hi, Just my thoughts on this interesting subject. On the belt and front pulley, you will indeed need to take off the universal joint attached the the pulley to get the belt on, and while you're doing it I would fit a new fan belt too ;) If you mount your steering pump first you can use a piece of st...

Hi everyone, I have today removed the brake cross shaft, and the seals that should stop leaks, to find that the seals are about 1mm too large! No wonder they leaked oil! They were from the well known A******e supplier, who seem to have their fair share of issues with poor spares..... Too late to sen...

Hi,

Think I would whip the sump off and check them all mate if it was mine....

For peace of mind if nothing else.

Ah ok, I've looked at new bushes, but where can I get a new shaft from?

Mark

Hi. I seem to be leaking oil quite badly from my brake cross shaft on my 1958 Dexta despite replacing the oil seals.

Any ideas why this should be?

Hi. Thanks everyone!

Yes it's a beast, luckily I have it suspended from my overhead winch which makes life easier!

Mark

Hi Gerald,

Thanks for that.

I'm 99% sure you mean the one in the green circle



Mark

Hi, I'm having trouble adjusting my hydraulics. I've taken the top cover off about 8 times now and I refuse to do it any more until I know exactly what i'm doing! I've just stolen the picture below from someone else's post on the forum (many thanks to whoever it was, hope you don't mind!) I've been ...

Ahhhhh now I understand.

I will try thread sealant

Thanks everyone

Hi, I have just about finished restoring my 58' Dexta however, I am noticing that there is water coming from the bolts that hold the exhaust manifold on and also from behind the combustion chamber caps :cry: I'm thinking here that this must be head gasket related, I have totally rebuilt this engine,...

Hi, I have PM'd you.

Thanks

Hi, Does anyone have a bonnet prop for a dexta that they would sell me?

Mark

Hi,

Has anyone out there got a bonnet prop that they would sell me, or failing that could someone take some measurements and do a quick sketch for me please?

Thanks,

I think you may have answered your own question with the #3 injector not spraying....

I would swap injector number 3 for number two temporarily and see if it is the injector or the pump at fault.

The course of action after that will depend upon the result from this test.

Mark

No, it's definitely a Dexta bonnet, not a Super Dexta, it's got the lower piece towards the tank end....
