Dexta Roadless parts

[Broadspeed]

Does anyone have pictures or maybe even some measurements of roadless power take off piece between gearbox and rear axle?

All help is highly appreciated

[Brian]

I am pretty certain I have some pictures in my files somewhere so i will check them out and upload them. You do realise you are looking for rocking horse poo and hens teeth?

Be careful if you do find one as for some reason the Roadless Dexta slice is prone to cracking and breaking.

Yes I know that in this case any information to get will be very hard My intention is to make 4wd Dexta, one way or another Everything is clear, except the power takeoff to front axle. May be that it is easiest to make it with chain, as all grip traction has done

If You have pictures, they are more than welcome

Broadspeed if you do end up making a 4wd Dexta do make sure to put up a thread here going into great detail - so I can copy you

As for the chain idea, I've heard it's a bit of a weak link in the design (pardon the pun)

I'm guessing Roadless had a large idler gear and a smaller one connected to the prop shaft??

Yes I also think that the chain version won't be very strong. That's why I asked for pictures from a pto piece, which is separated from tractor. But I think that nobody has pictures of it Google gives only pictures where this piece is assemblen in tractor..

If only I had the money!! I dont suppose you have any more pictures/ info about the transfer box? And was the front casting the original or was a stronger version fitted?

Hallo,
If you are afraid, a single chain won´t be strong enough, look for "duplex chain" or even "triplex chain"

We used to have a single row cornchopper in the 80th, it was powerd with about 90 hp and the duplex chain lasted forever.
A 35 hp Dexta has no chance to ruin such chains if they are proper size.

A tractordealer in the neighbourhood is offering a Dexta Major 4x4 at the moment.
I have never seen one in real, so I went there this morning.
Price would be 8.000 € .
I have to many unfinished projekts, otherwise I might be interesteed in buying it.

[Broadspeed]

Use You are right, maybe Dexta with her 32 might horsepower can't break a duplex chain

Just found 7,50-20 front rims and tyres for my project.

Broadspeed would you please post some updates/pictures of your build? I for one would be VERY interested in what you're doing.

[Broadspeed]

Yes I will post as soon there is some progress Now I have only picked up parts for this project. Have been busy with few other projects, and with this Dexta 4wd I don't have to rush

Picture come from Wales sent in by "Dinas" who used to post on here. The axle is a Land Rover one done by a company in Wales but it is not a good job from what I have heard. Bit cheap and cheerful. It has been reported on in the tractor mags.
