Dagenham

Post by Curt H. »

Does anyone know if the last tractor built at Dagenham was a Dexta or a Major, has this tractor surfaced anywhere?

Last tractor produced was a New Performance Super Major in September 1963 according to Ford Motor Company data. Dexta and Super Dexta production ceased some months earlier.

I don't know how accurate FO-21 is but here is the last part of the serial listings:

These are of course the serial #'s for the FIRST tractor built each month so the last one is still a mystery but it should be within 3,000 or so based on the numbers from the previous month.
