Re: Setting up Remote Hydraulics for Super Dexta

Thanks again guys. Really is nice having these independent remotes and to have the ability to use more "modern" equipment. I am using it to run my Hesston 1071 Mower/Conditioner, an 8ft brush hog with hydraulic raise/lower, and my newest acquisition a New Holland 1010 Stackliner with hydraulic push ...

Parts on eBay!

Hey guys, thanks again for all the help with my Super Dexta project. I am happy to report that I have logged about 60hrs since the rebuild and all is well. I had a few original parts left over that I replaced with "upgrades" and have made those available on eBay. Here are the listings: Clutch assemb...

Re: Super Dexta Rear Axle Bearing and Seals

Happy to report that I have logged almost 50 hrs since rebuild and no leaks. Most of that was cutting and baling 50acres of field. Definitely worked the old girl hard and she took it like a champ. Can't tell you how nice it is to have brakes again! Thanks again to all of those who helped me with the...

Hay guys! Pun intended... sorry it has been so long since my last update/installment but I am happy to report that I have been busy getting my hay down. I had a chance this morning to show how I managed to finish this task. Here you go... To remove the bearing using my 20 ton press I got 6 3' pieces...

Re: Super Dexta Rear Axle Bearing and Seals

I did run across the use of these "Speedi Sleeves" during my searches. I don't believe mine are worn enough to warrant it as it barely registers on my caliper. However, it does sound like many have used them with great success. I don't believe any machining is necessary as they offer different sizes...

Re: Super Dexta Rear Axle Bearing and Seals

Wow Tubal Cain! Nice little setup. Wish you were around here so I could borrow your fabrication. Not exactly stuff I have in my garage. Worked at it a bit yesterday but running into an issue with hub clearance. Should be able to do something similar with the lengths of All Thread and my press. Thank...

Re: Super Dexta Rear Axle Bearing and Seals

Ok, so after a bit more searching I found this link: http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/manuals/dexta_rear_axle.htm This is a different manual than the one I have and as you can see it says to use a puller or press to remove the axle from the bearing retainer. I am off to put some pressure on it with...

Re: Super Dexta Rear Axle Bearing and Seals

Thanks again BensDexta! I think I got the pics figured now. Thanks for the reply Gerald. Your fabrication sounds interesing...So did you draw the bearing over the threads (see pic)? That is really my main concern here. The manuals description almost makes me think it is threaded on. I pic would be w...

Re: Setting up Remote Hydraulics for Super Dexta

So of course after I order the new diverter plate I go out and start the tractor and now the 3 point is working as well as the remote hydraulics. I suspect although I cleaned up the unload valve already that it is still hanging up a little bit. I hope that it will improve as I use it more. Wayne, I ...

Well after sorting out A LOT of other issues first, I finally got around to installing the Remote Hydraulic Kit yesterday. Once completed I hooked it up to my Hesston 1071 Mower/Conditioner which has a two way cylinder for the head. The good news is that the new valve works GREAT! The bad news is th...

Re: Setting up Remote Hydraulics for Super Dexta

Sweet! Thanks again Wayne, that's what I wanted to hear. Like the location you chose to put the valve. I will order up a kit and install it. I'm taking picks of the process so others can see the outcome and possibly take same route if they choose. Cheers! :beer:

Thanks Les, I found this which pops up under super dexta. http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/HV4030_Hydraulic-Valve-Kit_10622.htm It seems like a similar one to the one I refer to in the first post. I was under the impression these valves are interchangeable between the Dexta's and Ford 2000's. Hopef...

Setting up Remote Hydraulics for Super Dexta

Hey guys. Just picked up a 1963 Super Dexta and am new to the forum. Looks like lots of great info here but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for in my searches. My Dexta came without a selector valve for the hydraulics. There is only the block off plate so I need to purchase and instal...
