Was surprisingly reliable. Local contractor has it before dad bought it and they never broke it. Only remember it breaking once and wasn’t terminal. Would get jumpy at times thou and dealer would set pressures and timing on it iirc

17 year old me loved driving the Dexta, no cab, no radio (neighbours enjoyed the singing ) no air con, no syncromesh, hand throtle, knob to push in & out to transfer oil from lift arms to tipping pipe.
Neighbour had constructed his own foot throttle , Something of a local hero

Happy days for sure, now if you asked a 17 year old to drive one they’d cry.

Ebay, you have to create or edit the models (cones with owl as tester as there’s free ones online too) but it comes with the software, amazing tool.

Make sure to use it somewhere well ventilated, the particle emissions from filament printers may be harmful to health. Mine certainly lives in my shed nowadays with an extractor fan right above it.
