Oscar,
Many in the USA owe the Fordson page forum many thanks. When I first bought my Dexta, and went to ask for parts, I would get that look of are you 'tarded, Dexta? We can't get parts for those.
My Dad had a Dexta when they were new, he made a little mound, backed the wheels up on it, and would shut the tractor down. Roll it off, run it all day and shut it off. It didn't have a battery in it. I sat at the shifter while he plowed and held the wheel. Good memory of my Dad who passed in '66.
My point is I wanted a Dexta and when I got it, knowledge of parts and where to get them was lost here in the US, and the Dexta was considered legacy junk. Somehow your site gave the market in the US traction, and now I can almost find any Dexta part I want, with eBay regulary a source, as well other Web sites. Dexta are again known.
I sat at the computer one night and google parts in my parts book and I was getting high hit rates on most parts, all consumables and high wear by part # right out of my book.
It didn't happen (again) by accident. Many parts available now are new stock, by demand not old stuff laying around since the 60's. Oscar, your hobby and passion made a difference.
I appreciate it. I have two Dexta's that run and one under the shed complete and all there, and highly suspect it too will run again. No hurry, sure I can find the part.
There are not a lot of Dexta in the US (now), and the tractor does not get collected like the 8n or the Deere, but of those who have one, the Dexta will get more work done.
I have a lot more STUFF to look for parts for than a Dexta, but my task has been made easier and I can see the difference.
Just wanted to say thanks.
Wayne
