Stig wohnt in Norwegen und wie ich das sehe, steckt jede Menge Arbeit in diesem 1961er Dexta ... Stig from Norway sent these pictures and we can see that he put much work into this pretty 1961 Lady E-Mail

Geoff aus Neuseeland hat sich diesen Petrol Dexta vor etwa 10 Jahren von einem Farmer gekauft. Zunächst hatte er keine Verwendung dafür, aber vor 2 Jahren hat er eine kleine Farm gekauft um Schafe zu züchten. Am Dexta mußte der Motor überholt werden. Durch ein Leck in der Kopfdichtung ist Wasser in die Brennräume gelangt und so sind alle Laufbuchsen verrostet ...

Geoff from New Zealand is the proud owner of this Petrol Dexta. He was kind enough to write a few words about it. Goeff, thanks for the picture and your story about. So here it is:
"I live in New Zealand at a place called Waipahi in the south island by a town called Gore in South Otago. I got my Dexta given to me some ten years ago by a farmer how had updated to a later model Dexta. But I did not have any use for it at that time so I stored it in my garage. About two years ago I brought a farm let of twelve acres. I run sheep on it so I had a use for the Dexta finally. All I had do to it was to recondition the engine. The engine was seized by water getting in to the cylinders because the head gasket was leaking water in to the cylinder at number two & with the valves being open the water went through to number three & seized it to. The parts to repair the engine cost around $500 NZ. I use the Dexta to top the grass & for fencing on the farm. I have also reconditioned a post driver that I use on the farm & I have also made a back tray for the Dexta, which is very handy on the farm." E-Mail

Asgeir aus Norwegen. "Power to the Bauer" muß man wohl zu diesem Dexta von 1964 sagen. Etwa 50 bis 60 PS sollen wohl drin sein, in diesem Umbau mit Turbolader. Bereifung hinten 14.9-28. Auf dem Bauernhof gibt es noch einen weiteren Dexta, einen Ford 4600 sowie eine NewHolland 5635. Danke für die Bilder ... Wow, that's "Power to the Farmer". Stig from Norway fitted a turbo charger to a 1964 Dexta. The tractor has about 50-60 HP and rear wheels 14.9-28. Thanks for the pictures. He wrote: "Hello Stefan, my name is Asgeir and I live in Hordaland at the westcoast in Norway. I live on a farm, and my father (the farmer) also owns a 1964 Dexta . We also have a ford 4600 and New Holland 5635. My family is a real "Ford-family" :) E-Mail

Kjell wohnt in Løten, Norwegen: "Mein Dexta ist von 1960 und hat die Serien-Nr. 957E55005, gekauft habe ich sie von etwa 3 Jahren. Es fehlen jede Menge Teile, die Hydraulik funktioniert nicht und die Reifen sind schlecht. In der Hinterachse ist mehr Wasser als Öl drin. Aber der Motor ist noch gut, nach etwas 2-3 Stunden Arbeit hatte ich sie zum Laufen. Ich werde sie mal waschen und Teile suchen um sie fertig zu machen. Nächstes Jahr könnte ich sie zum Laufen haben. Ich war mir ihr schon zum Oldtimer Pflügen und habe schon meine alte "Therminus" Dreschmaschine von 1947 angetrieben. So, das war die kleine Geschichte über meinen Traktor. Gruß Kjell"

Kjell from Norway: "Hello. Thank you for your picture of my blue lady on Fordson-Dexta web-site. I can tell you that I live in a little place called Løten, about 120 km from Oslo. Between Hamar and Elverum. In the eastern part of South-Norway. My Dexta is made in 1960 and has the number 957E55005. I bought her about 3 years ago. She has a lot of missing parts. I can tell you that the hydraulikk is gone, the tires are very bad, a lot of holes in them. And the back of the tractor is full of water, no oil there. I start to wash here and finding all the missing parts. The engine is good so she started up after a 2 -3 hour work. Parts are not easy to find but after a year I think , I can drive with her. I plowed with her in some veteran competation and I'm threshing with her. I have also a threshingmachine from 1947 who called "THERMENIUS" built in Sweden. I hope i can get to paint her next summer. This is the history about my "BLUE LADY" . Greetings Kjell"

Das hier ist ein sehr schönes Bild, vielen Dank an Kjell. Wie man hier sehen kann, ist an dem Dexta die sehr seltene Riemenscheibe angebaut. Die Riemenscheibe war als Extra lieferbar ... What a pretty picture, many thanks to Kjell. Here we can see that the Dexta is fitted with the very rare belt pulley, which was as an extra available. E-Mail to Kjell
