WILL IT RUN ? FORDSON DEXTA

We see if a simple service can improve the Dextas starting issues.
The question is - Will It Start ???

[@deadtruckressurection8454]

It is amazing how many trucks and machines you can find that don't run, or run extremely poorly just because there has been no routine service other than an oil change. On tractors and machinery especially years of being fueled from farm tanks have them polluted with water and sludge till they barely run. By starting at one end of the fuel system and going through to the other end ensuring clean lift pump, lines and tank you can solve many potential problems and it costs very little, you don't need a big shop or a lot of tools to do it either. Great video again.

Hi from durham KM @ LM 👋👍yup dexta certainly doing well in the right hands and you dont need workshop or buildings🤔 a guy up road from me just restored massy 35 on his driveway and built 2 vices into side of his house 💪😂 and she looks fantastico😍 dont know much aout it but I noticed it when he was spraying engine grey and I asked him (whilst out walking me dog) why primering engine and he said it was a grey block and ripped a tarp of what I was always curious to know what was under and just like that a beautiful red paint job on it and showed is stencil for ther mf35 hes pretty old guy too and I asked "how and where" he said "here and there" ( pointing at vices💪😂) but she out every other week for cruise round the block and he cant stop smiling I love seeing him out on it 💓 it melts me !!! Thanks for your time and be safe see you soon (sure pooch was talking over top of you at end she spent more time looking at camera than you 🐾🐾) aww shes lush👍👋

[@theforester3426]

Used to have fuel filter problems like this back in the day when out on contract work the cause was usually fueling up out of old five gallon cans.

[@daveshepherd5352]

Another brilliant video as usual Mucker. You need to have Kim there to Send It 👌🏼

[@richwells9220]

Great stuff 👍 Piss wet through today. Bath, cup of tea in front of the Rayburn watching with dog snoring in background. Brilliant mate 👏 👌

[@tomdigby4463]

Love this channel - thanks for the content mate 👌

[@tomgriffin286]

Great work Mucker, the Dexter starts on the button and sounds well.

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video, good to see it running. We haven't had the obligatory birds nest lately.

[@whitestream5233]

Another great video , nice to see the dexter running, they were a good little tractor in their day . Agriline are a good company to deal with , nice to hear they are looking for British suppliers . All the best Mucker.

[@gmartin8240]

Great video on the Dexter , nice bit of servicing. Good job Mucker 👍🚜

[@kerryminigringo]

Well Mucker,agree with the farming life at le forge. Great content and great to learn new stuff like the Ford 5095 they bought.Don’t think I’d be brave enough for a move like that but lovely to see them make it work with loads of vintage blue power.

[@Shahska1]

I do really enjoy your channel and the things you do. I know everyone has different situations in life so that's no surprise I just watch and maybe learn something new

[@rogerbond7811]

This video reminds me of the time I worked in a garage we took the Perkins engine out of a Bedford CA ice cream van, took the sump plug out and nothing came out, the oil was the consistency of Swarfega. The owner never took into account the hours the engine was running the Mister Whipy machine. The mileage on the clock was meaningless for oil changes. Really enjoy the channel.

[@paulthompson8467]

Very enjoyable video your lordship looking forward to seeing the major running take care ps your collie is such an old pet🙂

[@paulg9483]

Another great video Mucker good to see you, keep them coming 👍👍

[@R.Sole88109]

If you think tractors are expensive remember this saying; If it flies, floats or fucks it's cheaper to rent than to own!. Lol.

[@35dononeill]

I like agriline. I have used them for getting plenty of bits for my Dexta. I had a similar issue with mine. It was hard 2 start. I have to get the engine / fuel pump / injector reconditioned. I upgraded the piston to a 35x piston and had the cylinder bored out. I like how yours doesn't reeve up & down. It's nice.

[@mikeduin8311]

Nice bit of maintenance on the ford, always good practice to put some new filters on and fresh fluids. Seems like you got a lot of good stuff lined up for the channel👍 and I must say, that 590 in the background does look like mean tractor👌 Cheers, Mike

[@ronnieron88]

Another great video, the Dexta sounds great 👍🏻

[@johnd7288]

Great little tractor the Dexta ! Great video !

[@kenmurray4232]

You lads have got the same problem that we across the pond in Canada have, all our parts are Chinesium because all the manufacturers have moved out. Some are starting to be made here but are still hard to find. Nice video of the old Fordson.

[@hfraat25]

Good method explanations. Good video again.

[@Dextamartijn]

I a huge fan of Agri line products they have always sent me the parts I needed for my Dexta and also big on customer service. Nice looking Dexta. Runs good too. My parents moved from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 to Canada 🇨🇦 in 1989 when I was 11 it was a huge adjustment for them aswell.

[@rustyshank912]

Got a 8.3l Cummins into my Ford l8000. Hope to get it running today.

[@andymercer8092]

Good video, have to sort my old major out soon!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Lord Muck :) also TLC goes long ways keep tractor, combines& machinery and vechiles keep rolling also live plus well too!

[@trevorpearson1832]

Another interesting video. Thanks.👍

[@oldamericaniron5767]

I agree, throwing money at something isn’t always necessary. To me it is satisfying to repair versus replace and be budget minded. I also have to change tires the old fashioned way as I actually can not snap my fingers.

[@peteberry6425]

Another enjoyable one that, reminds me I got one or two things to do on my E27N

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Sounds sweet bet it feels happier with new filters and oil ! :)

[@AliMackMechanical]

Runs well after the filters and oil.👌

[@charleshart6992]

Another great update - Dexter sounds good too!

[@billupstateny9151]

Well stated

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

Amazing what some filter changes and maintenance can do to extend the life of equipment. It costs money, but it's a whole lot cheaper than having to keep buying new equipment all the time.

[@bobw7066]

All diesels should have a prefilter/water separator installed between the fuel tank and the lift pump and you would be surprised how much trouble it saves. I have been in the truck and earth moving repair business for almost sixty years. From Australia

[@LordMuck]

Yes I totally agree 👍

Hi Lord Muck Nice one Thanks again

[@harrysemmence5046]

I'm hoping my TEF may improve starting wise now I have been through fuel system. It has had a hard life I reckon someone hung a fair weight off the axle as the radius arms are bent like bananas! When I did the oil change on it was pretty grim, took the strainer out and was pulling fistfuls of congealed oil out the bottom of the sump 🤢

[@astonmcleod5344]

Helping a neighbours to do some fencing, he has a 1958 fordson major, other than paint fade it is virtually as new condition, less than a 1000 hours, everything works, all the lights and dials. his dad bough it new

[@LordMuck]

Lovely 👌🏼

[@1394db]

great vid, looking at the bottom of the old fuel filter I think the spring wasn't contacting the filter to push it up to seal on the housing, is it missing the washer? maybe why the filter looked clean!

[@LordMuck]

I only just realised I cut out the bit where I put a washer in so the spring made contact. Yes, you're right it was missing when I took the old one out but we used an old hinge washer which raises the filter on the spring.

[@alfadoofus]

Nice . I didn't have hunt this video up.

[@johnhayes4110]

You should take a Holladay to LaForge and make some vedios working with Laura's Dad, I'm sure it would be Fantastic footage 👍👍

[@christaylor4904]

Used to work on early Fords including the Dexta to be perfect they nearly always needed the injectors testing and fuel pumps calibrating. 3 cyl could be temperamental 😊

[@SlipShodBob]

I'm just waiting for them to come up with a new AP cab door for a 6610 at their usual prices after someone did the magic trick of adjusting the door via a gatepost without breaking either pane of glass though fenders would be a plus

[@Svein-Erik]

Can I just ask, will we see one of these Ford 8000, 8600 or 9600 series on your channel? 🤔 I love those tractor series, I just can not help for it. I am currently working on a 73 Ford 3000 to be used on a small farm which has been laid down in the 70's here in Norway, so it will be on your channel I get to experience these fantastic tractors you have available. I appreciate your channel, thank you👍🙂

[@LordMuck]

You never know...

[@adigibson3605]

I put some new parts on my dexta, not been able to test yet as stuck in hospital with pneumonia ☹️

[@taragd17]

Good video, the spring on the bottom of the filter, should it not have a sealing washer between it and the filter? I might have missed seeing it.

[@LordMuck]

It didn't have one but I put one in with the new filter.

[@garymoore2194]

Hay ! Mucker you forgot to mention Laura has a David brown as well lol

Don't forget about the border collie grass topper tractor update🚜

[@LordMuck]

The brakes are bolloxed but we are nearly there now, at least the brakes themselves in the axle are good it's just all the slave cylinders and linkages that need work.

[@caroldave4037]

Love a diesel ...v8s ...merlin ... .motor bike vtwins....but as a ex farmer a tractor motor tvo or diesel stirs my soul....👍👍👍👍

[@whitesapphire5865]

Seems a bit sluggish on the acceleration there?! My old Dexta used to be off like a startled rabbit when you pulled that old throttle hard back. The old beast seems to start easily though, got to give it that, and I'm just wondering if it's had an engine rebuild in the dim distant past? If you take the oil filler cap off with the engine at idle, does it breathe any blue smoke from the filler, or be she clean as a whistle? - Mine was a heavy smoker before we rebuilt it. I think you have a good one there! 👍🚜🎩

[@LordMuck]

That's because it's shyte.

[@baroja5303]

La mecanización del campo español se produjo con la aparición de las primeras segadoras, aventadoras, agavilladoras, trilladoras y aperos de labranza, una vez pasada la posguerra y superadas las severas restricciones impuestas a la importación de maquinaria. Dado el retraso en comparación con otros países del panorama europeo, en 1952, el Ministerio de Industria lanza un concurso público para potenciar la fabricación de tractores. Dos empresas consiguieron la autorización: Lanz Ibérica S.A. en enero de 1953 y Motor Ibérica S.A. en agosto del mismo año. La primera, para fabricar los míticos tractores Lanz, bajo licencia alemana de Heinreich Lanz AG, que posteriormente se asociaría con la norteamericana Deere & Company. La segunda para fabricar tractores de marca Fordson, bajo el nombre de Ebro, con licencia inglesa de Ford Motor Company (ver artículo sobre los tractores Ford) a través de su filial en España Motor Ibérica S.A. Entre ambas empresas se esperaba fabricar un volumen de 5.000 tractores al año.

[@thegreatoutdoors1418]

[@Dirkjan78]

Would it be a idea to do a full service on a modern (maximum of 5 years old) tractor. And tell the folks the costs of it all. Just to gif them a inside of the running cost of a modern tractor.

[@LordMuck]

It's something we have been looking in to 👍

[@turnerscorner9516]

Hi Mucker, Could you please explain the difference between a dexter and a Super Major. Tbh I don’t know the difference between a massy 165 or a 168. Would you do a video to shine a light for us that are interested but can’t get them side by side to see the difference. Many thanks. Derek

[@LordMuck]

Think of a 135 and a 165 stood side by side (although a Dexter is like a grey Fergy)

[@EldarGullhaug]

I wonder if you could build an entire new Dexta from Agriline parts

[@LordMuck]

I'm sure you could but why would you ? 😂

[@DOCTORDROTT]

I always check fuel tank contents if I have just got the machine, water content and shite . On the Drotts and Cats, I remove the tank for a good pressure wash and fill with fresh diesel. Then give it a filter change and feed pipe check. I then have piece of mind . Agriline are good, Rebuilt my 498 Leyland using their parts. Found them fast and parts good quality.
