My MF 35x with multipower is from 1964.

Do you notice the extra hp of the MF35, 37hp vs 32?
How do you like the Multipower?

Yes Ben, it is big different.

Oh, sorry, ..The Multipower is acting fantastic, but you have to learned how to best use it.

Thanks Ben... I have alvays seen this "small"gearstick as this cast top, (only at few newer Dexta,s and S.D. I.ve seeing it with two black balls on top of the gearstic,s). Maybe it is special for delivering to Norway wihout two black tops?? just like mostly of the dexta,s comes with footpedal for throtle too.

According to my book, the longer gearstick with plastic top came in 1960 (957E62654-), of course maybe different for Norway.
Mikkel - What numbers/casting codes are your Dextas - can you post on Brian's Register sticky?

Does Multipower need more maintenance?
And it gives no engine braking?? So more wear on the brakes??

[blue32]

To Brian registry: My two Dexta,s has this number: The Dexta in this tread who is restoring 957E 84439, and the other Dexta has number 09B 707569.

-My does not any spec. it runs like "hell" as says above it is some unusual to use, becouse it can not hold on gears down hill,s in Low. Has to stay in High. but you can seek moore info at MF forum I think.

Mikkel, you can post the numbers directly on the sticky thread. Looks like you Blues are from early 61 and early 62. Have you the casting codes?

So maybe Multipower is not so good on steep hills like we have here in Wales?

Yes Ben... the multipower is very gooood at my mf35 for all kind of work.

[blue32]

Well, here is my other Dexta, its a 1962. 09B 707569, and is in very good cond. It is original eccept of new fenders and seatcushion. This tractor has Diff-lock too.

Mikkel, Nice pics
In the bottom pic of your post above ^, what is the long rod that runs from the bottom of the LH brake mechanism up behind the hyd quadrant to the lift arm?

I'm also interested that it has the newer style nose cone with sides wider at the top (more like a Super D cone), but still has the pneumatic governed fuel pump.

Hello Ben...it is a rod who can lift the litle "handbrakelever" when I,d pull the brake on with my foot... I,d just lift the litle lever to lock the brake in a tight position then It is an OG detail on this tractor, who I do not "need to bend over" and it work very well.


I'm also interested that it has the newer style nose cone with wider sides, but still has the pneumatic governed fuel pump.

- Oh... what do you mean Ben...? the nose is exact equal on all small Dextas, only the Superdexta is different but the pump like Super Dexta is starting at late Fordson Dexta Speciale,s from 1963, I think. As I know I do not think any nose is different. Mybee it look like that becouse I am using other color on the grille,s??

If I am going to fresh up this Dexta 09B...with new paint...I will definetly keep back to orange grill - badge,s and wheel,s

Ah so your Dexta's don't have handbrakes on the LH side? That's surprising!"

Yes the nose cones on your two Dextas are different - if you look behind the head lights you will see!! I was under the impression that the nose cone with the wider sides came in with Minimec pump about mid 1962 in UK (I guess when the Super D arrived), but yours is earlier.

Keep posting pics, you have some lovely tractors - perhaps you are busy on the MF forum also??

[blue32]

Hi Ben... ok, about the nose con... I,ve learned something new today too, and no...I am not on MF forum... my biggest tractorinteress is Fordson Dexta,s ha ha.

How about you ? send some photos of your,s Dexta,s?? it is my hobby to look at Dextapictures.

Hi,

According to my book, the longer gearstick with plastic top came in 1960 (957E62654-), of course maybe diffent for Norway.

It seems the secondary gearstick knob was again changed in 1962 from serial # 09B704134 on, to a threaded screw type black knob instead of the spring clip type.
(From Service Letter No. 3, 1962)

Cheers,
Les

How do you get it to add the (Ben says') part.

[Lesfen]

[quote="Nick"]
And the other bigger one, this is for selecting external services? Does this push in and out or screw?

Nick,
If no one has answered this>>
The bigger knob pushes/pulls in and out.

i agree mate we all need a tractor or 3

The main importer in norway was; Eik & Hausken by Stavanger. They even have all new tractor,s identify with a metalplate (booth sides the bonnet) with number stapled in... and I also think collecter,s in Norway want to ceep it on. - I am sad that this registry of each new Dexta did not give us the good info about who bought the tractor...becouse this is history for now. - ofcoarse it should be nice if I could ask some registry from the main import from 1958, witch was my fathers Dexta?? -mikkel.

Thanks for answering that question, ive still got to have a fiddle with the hydraulics because last time i tried the linkage in position control, the linkage worked and stayed up etc, but it wouldnt work all the time and i had to push the quadrant right to the top to get it to move!! something tells me it shouldnt do that

Hello
The footthrottle were introduced here in Norway in Mid or late 1960 I think. Because I havent seen it on earlier models. For instance my Roadless from around Jan 60 didn't have it, but my neighbour's Dexta from 61 has it.
Just speculations

- Hello Nick, I think it is becouse of some adjusting or mybee some "valve sitting" but it is almost impossible to tell exact how the problem is in the hydrauliksystem. Best is to take of hole system and look for the reason why it can not work propery, or mybee some in this forum have had same prob,s so they can tell alitle?
