My Super Dexta is mechanically excellent. Needs paint, but runs perfect. During the winter, rebuilt the wiring, installed key-start switch, wired regulator and lights, dash charge light, new thermostat, built radiator shroud for new radiator, replaced six weak worn studs on L/R and serviced fluids. Gave her a Red Top Optima battery. New proofmeter also.
Use her yesterday and today to over-spread fescue seed, which called for 5th gear or #2 High range @ 2000 with hopper set on #6 gate. Thats fast. After a good steering lube, she steers one handed with the turner ball. In just a couple hours finished 40 acres pasture over-seeding.
Over the weekend tilled the garden with a double disk harrow.
Weather is turning warm, and getting a little tractor seat time is pure pleasure.
