Fordson Super Dexta starter bolt?

Post by IlkkaV »

Hello all!

I made quite a huge repair on my Super Dexta. Now I'm in trouble because I lost one bolt which will attach starter. There is two bolts with nuts, but third one is missing. This missing bolt is different, because there is thread in the adapter plate. So only bolt is missing. I tried to found the bolt dimensions but did not found it? Do anyone have ideas what might be the correct bolt dimensions? Photo can be found on: https://ibb.co/LYZCTfz

I think its the same thread as the other ones, but I'm not sure about the length, try looking at a Dexta parts book.

Hi,

Can’t find exact specs in parts book unfortunately. The diameter is 3/8, so a 3/8-24 UNC of correct length will fit. Do take the right length. A too long gives issues with flywheel. To short might strip out thread in plate between engine and clutch housing.

Best regards

Too long a bolt will hit the flywheel, I think it should be about 1" long but I'm not sure.
