Having used my Dexta for a few weeks now, I can see what all the fuss is about. I am enjoying the experience greatly, the Dexta is a really nice bit of kit for the small holder. Eager and powerful for its size and really useful with its new transport box. Just need to find myself a few more attachments for our fields to keep the other half happy (roller, harrow and a topper of some sort).
I am not the most mechanically minded, but the few small probs so far have been quite easy to solve and fix with some research on this site (had to get a new solenoid, tachometer, temp gauge, stuck in reverse gear in the woods one evening).
There are a few larger issues (small oil leaks from various place, a leaking radiator) that will be properly investigated and taken care of in the future. But I am concentrating on cleaning it up at the moment and removing as much rust from the tinwork as I can before painting it.
I do have a question, am I correct in thinking that it is a 1963 Super Dexta? (see date codes and serial no.s below)
S/N 09C734131
Engine 1618231 A33

I did not get any paperwork with it and being new to the world of tractors cannot be sure exactly.
I would like to get it registered and on the road with its original plates if possible, and I guess the first step is knowing exactly what I have got,
Thanks,
Neil.
