Hi all,
I have just brought a FORDSON Super Dexta 3cylinder diesel TRACTOR, 1952 serial No 1224725 only 2 owners, it's running and driving with no big problems but I will repair a lot of the old parts. The poorest thing is the metal radiator cover it's been rated many times, job's are fuel and heater plug system, it starts no problem from cold now in the summer but will it without heater plug in the winter (don't want to use "Easy start" brakes need striping they work only after 300 yards? All the steering joints and hydraulic system could have a service. It's being delivered next week so I will put up some pic's!

It will be working in our stables chain harrowing and rolling too, and as a muck shifter.

I thought 1952 sounded way too early for that model.

Not too early I have the log book it was made in 1951 and first registered on 28th May 1952, to a farmer in Wiltshire. The chassis number 1224725 makes it a old, it changed hands again in 21 November 1969 and the again in 9th September 1970 and then yesterday me.
