Apologies if I've broken any rules but i'm interested to find out if there are any Dexta lovers near me. I don't really know anybody else who has one so i'll start off............

Hi Wee59dexta,

i have a 62 super dexta blue and orange just down south from you.

Good to know there is more of us out there, have you found a good source of parts yet, i am looking for a reasonably priced swinging drawbar and cannot find one anywhere.
I don’t know what I am doing!

I'm from the city of Augher. By the way can you advise me of the best place to get insurance locally for my little blue lady. Also I'll be doing a bit of work to her over the winter and will be on the lookout for parts including a nose cone; any ideas on where to buy parts (cheap), nose cones seem to be approx £200 + VAT

I bought mine from A.............. The only wires I've had to make up were for the horn, front, rear and number plate lights. Have you got yours finished?

i think that there would be a differance in insurance in the ROI and NI.
In the ROI I dont think there is any differance between vintage and moderen
tractors they are treated the same , icould be wrong on this in NI they do make a
differance on age , stand to be corrected :) Gerry
