Just Saying Hi..
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum, and wanted to say hello to all. I have been reading a lot of the past posts and have gathered a wealth of very helpful information regarding Dexta Tractors. I just bought my first Dexta about 2 months ago. She was running when I bought her, and still is
I will be attempting to restore her over the next few years, at the same time giving her minor work duty.
Here's a couple pics of her.. I didn't think she was a bad deal at $800US

'62 Dexta
I think those casting codes PxxF are for Dec 1961. If not, I'm sure someone will correct us!95glide wrote: the numbers on the front left side are:

Did you get the tractor serial number from the left clutch flange, running vertically? See:

All the best,

Serial Number
I finally cleaned, wire brushed and rubbed enough and found the serial number.
It is 09B700058
which now semi confuses me with the prefix being 09B does that mean 1962?
The 700058 is in the 1961 (Nov-Dec) range, but was there a 09B prefix in 61?

No you have a 1962 Dexta. The numbers quoted in the list for January 1962 is a MID-Month number so your tractor is early January. A 1961 tractor would be 09A, they changed the numbering system in November 1961.
Your bargain gets better and better Jeff! It is now nearly 4 years younger than you first thought.
