Hi, does anyone have any tips for lining up a dexta bonnet?

I have attached some pictures below as to what I am struggling with

Any advice appreciated...

Hi.

You may well be able to pull/lift a three furrow conventional plough, but lifting a reversible, in my opinion, ain't gonna happen

You will not lift more than a two furrow reversible on a Dexta....

The machine is not heavy enough and the lift not powerful enough.

Hi. You should have a pipe going from the fuel tap under the fuel tank, to the jet in the manifold. Additionally there should be a primer bulb fitted on the fuel tap that you push to force fuel up to the jet. You should have a 'heat' button on the dash which activates a coil in the manifold, this gl...

Hi. Does anyone have any pictures of how the grill fixings fix?

I have bought some new ones and cannot figure out how they go!

Thanks,

Ah ha. That's what should be there. Thanks guys.

Hi. Yes I realise that, however it's the other end at the injector pump I'm thinking about.

Hi,

I am fitting the pull to stop cable to my dexta at the moment, but am puzzled as to how I stop the outer cable moving instead of the inner cable!
Surely there must be something to hold the outer black cable somewhere? But I cannot see it!

Can anyone help...

With regard to the steering wheel, some people use body filler to re-profile, then sand back to a smooth finish, then paint with aerosol and varnish.... just a thought if your wheel is nearing the end of it's working life

In english it's called a Top Link.

Regards,

My thoughts on this are: It was put there for a reason, so if it's not working correctly, something will suffer (in your case fuel delivery) I would think it will make at least some difference, and if it doesn't you have eliminated one more (relatively cheap) possible cause, the next stage will of c...

Proper job on the tank, hope I can get mine looking something like that

Can you hazard a figure for the snugness

Pin diamater + 0.1mm

Should be a very snug fit Mark. Vapormatic ones for Dexta are good.

Well, if you're gonna do a job, make sure you do it properly!!

Does it have live hydraulics? If not, have you got your pto in gear? Or does the Dexta not need this?

Does the injector pump need oil in, on a normal Dexta? I have had mine rebuilt, and it came with a label on it 'No Oil'....

That looks like a lambourn cab frame to me which I am fairly sure would comply with ROPS safety regulations.

It would either be one of these:



or one of these

Yes, that is half a Dexta pickup hitch, and a Dexta drawbar.

Hi Brian/Tom, Today I reluctantly unbolted and lifted the top cover off the tractor again :roll: Looking at the manual I realized that the second of the levers, attached to the shaft of the quadrant, was not supposed to be seized to the shaft! So dismantling the entire hydraulic assembly again I hea...

Hi, I am nearing the end of the restoration of my 58 Dexta, and I am about to re-instate the hydraulic lift cover, however I have run into an issue, in that the lift lever seems stuck. It has been stuck ever since I had the tractor,but I have since removed the hydraulic cover, cleaned everything and...

Hi. My advice would be to do both, as then you won't have to take it to bits again, to do the one that you didn't do the first time, when it leaks again!!
