I marked in green what was replaced. Everything was new from O20ld site.

Here is the link to the video: https://youtube.com/shorts/afte1UtKjiY The steering play is much too excessive. I’ve already installed a new steering kit (bearings, shaft, and seals), but it hasn’t improved. I also added a couple of 0.5 mm shims, one by one. What could be causing this issue? I’d real...

Sandy, is there any chance of attaching the video here?

I’ve just replaced the fuel filter, but now I’m having an issue with leaking fuel pipes. I feel like I’ve already tightened the nuts as much as I safely can, and I’m worried they might break if I go any further. But they are both still wet. Is there a safe way to tighten them properly? Should I use ...

Yes, it's BKT tyres.

Hi!
I just bought the tires. Does anyone know if I need inner tubes, or are all modern tires tubeless?
Thank you.

Yes, it was absolutely new.

Is this normal? I bought it just a month ago and it’s already broken. Looks like there’s no metal reinforcement inside at all. Sure, I’ve got a loader up front and steering is never easy, but that doesn’t mean I should be changing the steering wheel every month! https://i.postimg.cc/SXgcd8yP/brocken...

Does anyone know where I can find this stud? None of the online tractor-parts shops seem to sell it.

Is this pump the correct one for my setup?
I couldn’t find the proper governor pipe — do you know the part number or have a screenshot of what it should look like?

Thanks for your help.

I’d really appreciate it if you could help me put together a list of the parts I need to order. From what I understand, I’ll need a new lift pump — do I also need to replace the diaphragm? I’ve already bought the primer and heater; just need to find some time to install them. Thanks a lot for your h...

Hi Sandy, Why is there such a big difference between your picture of the fuel system and mine? I’m trying to figure out what might have been added or modified — it’s quite difficult to restore the original Dexta accurately. Another issue I’m facing is that the engine is hard to start. The battery is...

Thank you Sandy.

Does anyone know the RAL paint code for the blue used on a Ford Dexta? Also, I'd appreciate the code for the orange used on the wheels, if possible.

Could you please clarify which numbers I should be looking for? I believe I've already found numbers 1 and 3

Hi
Some more pictures;
- the number I found is 2GKN1Z72(or similar)
- ignition key
- loader label

It’s becoming more and more intriguing. I’m sure my Dexta came from Germany. The loader has a label on it with the German manufacturer’s name and the year 1961. Where can I find the same number you mentioned earlier, but in the usual location? I bought it with a modern starter installed, so there is...

I checked the engine number, and it's exactly 1499710

Here is another number: 09B701365

Some other number too:

I think the number is: 14997164

Thank you Sandy.
I will try to find the number on my current engine. Is it on the left side, near the Simms?

Thank you. So, do you think the engine is not original? The previous owner gave me a second engine. He was 100% sure that I could replace the existing engine easily, but I see big differences between the old engine and the spare one. The tractor is working, but the engine block has cracks in it. It’...

Another question.
What is this for, and how can I use it?
These front double axles I marked blue.

A few additional photos. The loader is from 1961 and was made in Germany. There’s a plate on it stating 1961. https://postimg.cc/d71q3ZBv https://i.postimg.cc/d71q3ZBv/front.jpg https://postimg.cc/Ty4TD27b https://i.postimg.cc/Ty4TD27b/loader2.jpg https://postimg.cc/k2wJ7vWf https://i.postimg.cc/k2w...
