Looks like she is an all original Feb/Mar 1959. Sounds like a nice tractor.

[russelm]

Thanks Brian, shes been out of use for around 14 years from what I can tell and stored insode for all that time.

I get the impression that its either been cared for or had little use (no tractor meter on it).

[Bensdexta]

Your tractor is very close to Erik B's, rear axles cast on the same day. See Dexta Register.

[russelm]

This would be the original supplier then:

i think that photo was taken at staffordshire county show in uttoxeter about 1956! tom fryer gave my uncle the original copy of this picture and a few more. this dealer was 4 miles down the road from me and fryers are family friends, they stopped selling tractors and moved to selling cars and have now stopped trading.i'm just restoring a dexta sold by them new, if you want to know who brought your tractor new all fryers records are in stafford libary and can be looked at by request..

[russelm]

Thanks for that, might well take a trip over to Stafford for a look.

Its an old stomping ground of mine as I lived there for 14 months when I was working at Alsthom.

[dexta4]

your serial number, reg number and who brought it new should all be logged it may be a good idea to contact the libary first to make sure they're there as a friend of mine asked to see them once and they'd been lent to a local news paper or something like that
