FORDSON dexta. Let’s repaint it part 1

I’ve owned this 1961 FORDSON dexta for 25 years and it was in the same condition it’s in now ‘back then because I keep it in the shed always and it hasn’t deteriorated at all. It’s probably never seen a shower of rain in 25 years so I’ve decided it’s time to re-paint it.

My grandfather bought one new in 1959 . I was in 3rd year at high school and took the head off and replaced the gasket. Not a bad little tractor, they had some faults but most tractors did back then. They were however better than a TE20 Ferguson. My favourite was the MF 135 Multi Power I went to an Agricultural High School in Adelaide South Australia and they had one.
