Thanks WayneB; it seems the Optima is worth the money. David in Washington State, USA -

dexta starter
Thanks to both your efforts. More power is once again proven to be good for the cure. Do charge that battery monthly as a fully charged battery is going to last longer. All wet cell batteries self discharge at a slow rate, so even sitting unused, they will lose charge and degenerate... -

Dexta chasing air in the fuel
Several projects got moved in front of the Dexta, Finally, the fuel tap was in my hand. Not a simple job the first time as the fuel tank needs to be lifted several inches to allow the fuel tap to be unthreaded. The inlet of the fuel tap was blocked with many small black objects, some appear... -

One more observation on sealing the fuel lines. I find Agriline has rubber washers listed for fuel pipe washers. It looks like very short sections of fuel line that would be used instead of olives. Does anyone have experience with these. It looks like they would be easy to make with a... -

Dexta chasing air in the fuel
Testing fuel flow from the line out of the tank tap showed very low rate. It was less than one ounce in a minute, so not even one gallon per hour. I'm going to remove and inspect the tap. David -

Dexta chasing air in the fuel
Thanks; I'll start with the flow from the fuel line to the pump, as that will tell me if the tap is flowing well. Looking in the tank show the little screen has come loose and is rolling around on the bottom of the tank. It is not doing any good there. I'll report back when I can. -

Dexta chasing air in the fuel
For three years, gravity feed through the filter to the injection pump worked well on the Dexta I had bought. A few weeks ago, while working it harder than usual running a 60inch brush mower through my tall grass, it started to act like it was running out of fuel. There was 2 inches of fuel in... -

Thanks, actually, I'd like to get my own lathe. The trouble I could find then! David -

Dexta fuel tap/valve
I might have answered my own question. At the Official New Holland Online Parts site, http://partstore.agriculture.newholland.com/us/parts-search.html#epc::mr55997ag12411 I found the picture of the fuel tap that John Deere D sent, and pictures of the "ferrule" on the fuel line. That makes it... -

Dexta fuel tap/valve
My Dexta fuel project has been on hold. We raise about 400 dahlias and it was harvest time. We got the dahlias dug out and stored in the shed for now, so I had another chance to work on the tractor. I installed the new pump, which is an exact replacement for the OEM mechanical pump. That... -

Dexta fuel tap/valve
The fuel tap/valve on the tractor is also the hand pump to feed fuel into the intake manifold for preheating. So that one is not the same as what is currently on the tractor. David -

Dexta fuel tap/valve
Thanks Kenneth. I appreciate the note about the use of similar metals to avoid the corrosion issue. Last night while doing a little research, on the net, I found that the threaded nut that screws into the pump and tank valve is identical to the nut used on brake lines on a large number of US... -

Dexta fuel tap/valve
One more question; I found the leak, it is where the 1/4 inch metal line is connected to the valve. That line is a copper line that is obviously a replacement. I see an original steel line from the pump to the filter has a wedding ring type of compression fitting. That would be what I need to... -

Dexta fuel tap/valve
Thanks; your experience sounds like a good place for me to start. I've had success sealing both straight and tapered threads with pipe tape and pipe sealer in a tube, but it takes the good sealer to stand up to fuel. This is not a fun job to look forward to, and my best excuse to wait is... -

Dexta fuel tap/valve
I am seeing a slow leak at the fuel tap on the bottom of the tank. This is a diesel tractor. When I pull the tap/valve, what kind of thread will I find. I assume it is British, but will it be the straight thread with a separate sealing surface, or a tapered thread like our Pipe thread...
