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.

Re: Dexta Roadless parts
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??

Re: Dexta Roadless parts
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..

Re: Dexta Roadless parts
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,Broadspeed wrote:Yes I also think that the chain version won't be very strong. ..
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.

Re: Dexta Roadless parts
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.

Re: Dexta Roadless parts
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.

Re: Dexta Roadless parts
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.
