Hello,
Found this tractor for trade couple of months ago. Traded in a Dexta for it.
What's your opinion?
Kind regards,
Emiel

Re: New addition
If it was a good running and restored Dexta, you got robbed. If the Dexta was well used and in need of help, then the deal was closer to fair. A few years ago on this side of the pond, an old F or N Model did not bring much. In recent years I have seen prices come up farther than I would have ever thought. The farmers over here that had to use these early Fordsons were not in love with them. Many did say that the N was a lot more user friendly with a mag and other improvments. Does it turn over, or run? Dandy Dave!

Hello Dave,
Well, in Holland price levels aren't comparable to pricing in the USA.
The tractor is in real life nicer as on the pictures too. Steering quite tight etc.
Engine turns over and has compression. Plug leads aren't connected and I don't think the mag works.
When it runs ok the restoration is ok for me. Maybe I"ll make the fenders a little straight.

Re: New addition
Yes, I know him. We do business now and then. I'm restoring an E27N and so sometimes he sells me some parts and sometimes we trade them. Do you know some good mudguards for me?

Re: New addition
Hello Paul,
Restoring a e27n is nice. I've 2,25 if them. I've made new fenders, because the original ones were beyond repair. Only re used the top rims.
I haven't any usable ones available. Do you have usable parts left? The box sections can be made easily or bought and the back plate can be cut from 1,5 or 2 mm sheet metal.

Re: New addition
Point taken. I do not think anyone over here would take a Dexta that they could use around the place and trade it for a Fordson N that is basically just a collectable antique. I can see where these would be rather uncommon over in Holland. Should be a nice show tractor when it is restored. A lot of these that I have seen are on Rubber. Some on round spoke factory wheels, and some on "Cut Downs." Steel wheels must be very uncommon in Holland. Over here I have seen more F's on Steel than N's. How about a serial number so we can see what year it is? The "Heat Riser" type manifolds can be hard starting at times. A lot of it has to do with the weather. One time it will start on a few cranks, Next time it won't start with 50 spins. Definetly a Fair weather tractor. It will be happiest on warm days with sunshine. Dandy Dave!Emiel wrote:Hello Dave,

Re: New addition
Hello Emiel, there is nothing realy which is worth the efforts of using it again on my mudguards. rotten on the bottom and big holes on the top side.
Besides this they are the wrong models too, I need the ones with the triangel frame in it. I can order new ones in England but that is very expensive.

Re: New addition
Hello Paul,
What year is your tractor then?
The angle section support frames can easily be fabricated. Getting the right section profile isn't easy over here. I made one up and chose section in the right thicknes and then cut of what I didn't need and welded on what I needed to get the exact dimensions. I was lucky to have one original and usable support.
You're welcome for a cup of coffee and measure up the frames.
Regards,
Emiel

Re: New addition
Well, my idea was basicly the same as yours; find some good frames and then put new sheet metal on it, but good frames are hard to find. My tractor is built in 1948, so it had originaly this model wings. Where are you located, then maybe if I can find the time I drop by sometimes.
Thanks for the offer, regards, Paul.

Re: New addition
Hi,
She runs to lean at the moment and will only run on 3/4 choke. Needs to be sorted, but the good news is that mechanically everything is running smooth.
I'm surely happy.

Re: New addition
Hi Emiel,
Sounds nice but would still have rather had the Dexta . Now too old to swing those things. See you have also tidied the workshop.
