Commander,

I was wondering about the fuel cap because it has been painted over and the vent is sealed. I wonder if this can be stripped off or if I will need to buy a new one.

Thanks for the replies,

I guess I'll have to take things apart and clean the filters. I was afraid that I may have to replace the fuel lift pump also but I will clean things up first and see how well it runs.

Thanks

When idling my dexta it sounds strong and even, without any surging, and when driven in any gear it starts out strong but in a short time it acts like it wants to die. I have found that if I hit the primer button (under the fuel tank) a couple times it will rev up again. It acts like it is lacking f...

Bill, Thanks for the kind offer, I may need to take you up on it. I have read your thread with many pictures documenting your rebuild. It should be of great help to me.

Thanks for the input

Here are some photos of my dexta
I hope this works. I'll post a shot of the lift cover when I can.

Thanks for the responses. It is as I feared. I had hoped it was a super due to my HP desire/requirements. I use it mainly for brush hogging and will drag some timber. I am having problems with the hydraulics. Have just replaced the fluids and no movement of the lift at all. I will post some pics of ...

I recently bought what I thought was a super dexta as it had a nameplate right on its nose that said so. Now from what I have researched it appears to be a standard dexta made in 1961.
