Have you checked diesel is getting through? My Dexta lost power after a winter in the barn which was down to a blocked filter on the end of the tap under the fuel tank.

Hi Pete, I don't need one but out of interest, is it one size fit all 135/165/175 or were they different?

Hi Adam, I don't have any kit for you but wanted to wish you all the best in your venture. Good luck, and hope to see some photos soon

Haha Gordy! Sorry to sound such a nerd...I could have gone further but I thought you'd all start yawning:sleep::sleep:

Its a Series 1 86'' made between 1953 and 1958. I had one till earlier in the year. Dad had a 1953 80'' which were made between 1948 and 1953 which were the same wheelbase as the Willys Jeep. The differences between the two are that on the 86'' the front wings have a join above the headlights...

Pictures?

Farmers Weekly machinery adverts July 1958. I remember Dad always used to look at Does Column & Saville's List!

Does anyone have any photos of Slough Cattle Market run by Buckland & Son? It was near Wexham Park Hospital, but gave way to housing about 30 years ago. Also Reading Cattle Market, run by Thimbleby & Shorland on Great Knollys Street? I frequented them with Dad in the 70's when I was a...

Thomas your 35 is a beauty. Although the 135 is a great machine, I much prefer driving them to a 135...better view down the bonnet and wings easier on the arms!

Totally agree it would be wrong to give it three rib ones. I don't have any but I will be on the look out for you...

Quite a lot on Bill Mann & Claas in the latest Classic Tractor Mag

No PAS on the 135 either...my first loading task was with a Power Major and Perry. Needless to say no PAS. OMG!!!

Big brother helping out with churns to the churn table!

New Dexta in Jan 1959. It’s now in my cart shed...
