Just thought i will show you guys my little dexta i have recently bought for my 17th birthday from Carmarthen Wales then trucked it up to Lancashire to her new home. Going to be restoring her in the next year or so but she will be a work/show horse



Just a great piece of British engineering

Congrats on your purchase.

Looks a nice little tractor.

What year is she?

1961 only paid £550 for her and she is a runner

If you like yours half as much as I like mine your going to be very happy!

Nice Find....working on old tractors is so much fun......dave

Not bad, especially the price Here in Finland You have to pay at least £2400 of Dexta in that condition

Interesting!

Why so expensive? Are they wanted by collectors, or for work?

Are other types of tractor cheaper?

Dexta is very popular for small jobs f.e. clearing snow. Its small sized and very handy in small gardens.

But the pricing has got out of the hand anyway, I think

Or what do You think. Here's list of some Dextas on sale:

1 euro = £0,84

List of Dextas

Thought i might upload some pictures of my dexta and what i have done with her.

New liners since the old ones where abit gone and covered in oil

Fitted some new seals to the dexta in the back end


And today i got my dexta built up again after adjusting the brakes. She is all ready for the Steam fair that is coming up in a few weeks, just need to fix this problem with the dash lights

Not been a good week for the betsy (the dexta) had a slight big of smoke coming from the electronics and she has a show this weekend
