    1956 Fordson Power Steering

    Hi Dave, I was doing some research on the New Holland web site a few days back and got the time out error Larry mentioned. The only thing wrong with that was I had not visited for several months. I had to register with them to be able to look up the parts I wanted and was really surprised to...

    Starter motor runs continuously.

    I removed the old solenoid and found a large crack in it. Replaced it with a new one and it started right up. I busted the old open and found a lot of corrosion where the contacts come together. I'm just wondering if the crack caused it to corrode, just old age or a combination. I suspect both...

    Starter motor runs continuously.

    Was spreading manure last night and stopped to talk to my neighbor. I restarted the motor to continue working and noticed the starter continued to spin, though not engaged. I really needed to finish spreading (rain was coming) so I disconnected the positive cable to the battery (I have a quick...

    Dexta loses power when warm

    I cut a small slot in the rubber seal on the new fuel cap and spent several hours loading and spreading manure last night. It never missed a beat! Thanks everyone for all your suggestions.

    Dexta loses power when warm

    I spent about an hour mowing yesterday during which the motor ran normally. When I finished I stopped to talk to a friend and let the motor idle. About 2 minutes later the motor died and would not restart. I pulled the fuel cap(which I replaced last winter) and it had a lot of vacuum on it(5 to...

    Dexta loses power when warm

    Hi Dave, Thanks for you help. I did look into the tank holding a match(just kidding). I had a bright flashlight. The tank looks really Clean.

    Dexta loses power when warm

    Yes, I changed the fuel filter when I replaced the pump. Last night I removed the line that supplies fuel to the pump and I have plenty of flow from the fuel tank. I reconnected the line and bled the air from the both ports on the fuel cannister and the injection pump. I did not work the motor...

    Dexta loses power when warm

    I have a 62" Dexta. The last two times I went out to mow pasture this spring the motor loses power and almost dies when the motor gets warm. The temperature guage is not reading hot. The motor has plenty of coolant. Over the winter I replaced the fuel pump that supplies fuel to the injection...

    Stihl 021 woes

    I had a similar problem several years back with my saw. After rebuilding the carburator, it still acted the same. Ended up taking the muffler apart and the spark arrestor(wire screen)was almost completely carboned-up. Removed all the carbon so I could see the screen again and I have not had to...

    identify a dexta

    Hi Terry, I checked two different places and could not find the serial number you have listed. It appears that you have a 1963 based on the first three digits, but the serial numbers supposedly did not go as high as what you have listed. I'm not sure what to tell you other than try checking...

    12 volt battery versus 2- 6volt batteries

    I have a 62 Dexta that I was continually having a problem keeping the batteries charged. It came with two 6 volt batteries. If it sat for more than a couple weeks without starting I would have to jump it. I tested both batteries and replaced the one that was weakest and had the same problem. I...

    Help with Hydraulics on Forson Dexta

    It sounds like you are experiencing the same problem I had last winter with my Dexta. I had to remove all the linkages. Remove the height adjustment handle and associated parts from the exterior, remove the interior linkages from the lift assembly and then soak the shaft while I had it secured...

    Help with Hydraulics on Forson Dexta

    I had the same problem with my Dexta this past winter. The problem was corrosion. The oil used to run the hydraulics and lubricate the rear axle does not lubricate the interior linkage for the lift arm which are at the top of the unit. Mine was siezing on the shaft that it rotates about. After...

    Dexta lift height adjustment

    Hi Bruce, thank-you for your response. My top link is turned all the way in and I can still barely get the wheel on the back of the mower to lift off the ground. It used to lift higher than it does now, apparently I somehow changed one of the adjustments when I had the lift assembly off this...

    Dexta lift height adjustment

    I have a 62' Dexta that will no longer raise the the life arms high enough to get my brush mower's rear wheel off the ground when I'm done mowing. I removed the whole lift assembly last winter and replaced the all the seals including the piston seal. The arms will stay up for weeks now with...
