It had been sitting almost 6 months, and I decided to start it. Diesels dont like cold.

  • I got my self a 1958 Fordson Dexta and I don't know what the lever is on the right hand side when sitting on tractor under seat could you tell me what it does.

  • @TheDexta1958 Is it the one right by the lift control? if so, that turns the lift from draft to constant pumping.

  • does the horn on your dexta still work?

  • It doesnt work with the button, but we straight wired it to the battery one day and it still worked.

  • There might be a butten on the side of the engine and press it and it midht make it easyer to start the Dexta I don't know which side but when your sitting on the Major it's on the right holding the stopper lever

  • Yes, there is a glow plug heater and a fuel primer, however on my Dexta they do no good.

  • P.S.:Always use full throttle when starting a cold diesel,release to a high idle immediately after starting.

  • I love these old tractors...

  • @5410driver Yes, but once it reaches idle the fuel will shut off and the engine will almost certainly stop, unless you live in a sub-tropical area.

  • @KapteinOpel / No need to even touch the throttle the governor inside the pump already has it at full fuel anyway

  • Yes you push it straight down by the lift controll yes is that what it does ok thanks.

    Oh by the way do you have a handbrake or a locking pin.

  • get the fucker rebuilt

  • i have some super major wheels on my dexta and it hitting 40Km/h

  • nincs aram batya, azert nem indul. ja es adj gazt

  • Using the glow plug is no use any more, and it becomes an eather baby.
