The fuel taps currently available for the Dextas' to me don't look right. Should you fit a new tap that is available now, would the knob to turn it off or on, be behind the steering drop arm cover plates facing the steering column . I recall sometime ago on my dad's S/Dextas' the tap faced ones left knee .
Yes, the outlet points in the wrong direction if one has the knob to the outside.
The original number with the primer pump was superceded and fits other Ford tractors and of course did not have the primer on it but I had to order one to find that out.
CNH had a note in the box that said they were to be field adjusted when installed on Dextas which meant adding a new pipe with a 180 degree bend in it.

PS> Mine ended up on the Petrol Dexta as it already had the 180 pipe bend!
That was a quick positive response thank you for your explaination. Les please can you put up a picture of the 180 degree bend so I can find something that looks similar
Hello chaps, i am in need of a new fuel tap because the one i have is original, and where the pipe fitting screws in the back that goes to the inlet manifold, it is threaded completely (the pump action etc still works).
Are the ones that are available online 'new' any good?
Oh yay, look, another seized bolt! Lets get a hammer.....and some kano.....and some cider!
