1962 Fordson Dexta first service for 30+ years //part 1//

breathing some new life into our vintage fordson Dexta tractor, in this first installment I perform a thorough service & begin with some of the repairs needed before putting this machine back into proper work.

Nice video, just wondering what oil you put in as it seems to differ for cooler climates. Thanks

Not sure if it was just a UK thing but the earlier model had the lights on the outside of the radiator cowl here in Australia.
The tacho didn’t work that great from new either.
Hydraulic 3 pt linkage not as good as some other tractors of similar vintage but still not bad.
I replaced the head gasket on ours in 1970 while in 3rd year at high school.
Still a better tractor than a TE20 🤣🤣

Maybe the oil on ex. manifold comes from worn valve guides, the oil will still come out sooner or later or with smoke.

I've done a way to canister oil filter on my Dexter put on skew on filter

I had looked at the options of updating to a screw on style without the central bolt but decided to just stay with the original bolt through as replacement bits are readily available in the UK.

Yo dude, you gotta stop watching porn on the phone you use to make your CZcams videos on, the pixelation is bleeding over into your videos.

Think it s only in Canada, you have pixelation on porn vids, maybe your government think you are just a bunch of immature kids?
