Fordson Super Dexta - Run To Work

Ive just changed the head gasket on the Little Blue Tractor I thought it would be good if I ran it too and from work this week before giving it a service and polish before the show season.

Best of the Fordsons and the last . Had one in Ireland and loved it.

[@Jay20112968]

really impressed how well it runs from the start, like it runs perfectly smooth. Mine has a rebuilt engine and still goes up and down with the revs all the time...

Have had no work on my dads Super Dexta. He bought it in 1964 and has done a heap of work around the property in Australia. Now I’m retired, I’m having it fully restored. It has factory spacers to lift the mud flaps both sides of the drivers seat. Not sure if i should remove them?

Nice and cheap!

Certainly is!
