I am trying to get an estimated value on a Super dexta that I saw which has the following characteristics:
Engine: Runs okay. It grey smokes at start up, but this dissipates after about 5 minutes. Valve seals or rings?
The maximum oil pressure drops to about 20 psi after about 25 minutes. I suspect the bearings and/or pump will need replacement rather soon.
The radiator looks relatively new (probably less than 5 years) and has no leak repairs. It is in good order.
Steering: The tie rods and spindle sleeves appear to be in good shape, but the steering wheel has a lot of free play est about 20 degrees. I did not check to see if there are any shims left to remove, but the upper ball bearing race and balls need replacing. I know repair rockers and shaft are hard to find and up there.
The gear box is in great shape and the shifters are smooth. I think this has been overhauled or redone and they did a great job. The pto works, but the lever may pop out if not externally hooked with a spring or strap.
The rear tires are worn with fine cracks and have an estimated 5 percent tread.
Sheet metal surface rust, but hood handles are loose and a bit worn.
Does anyone have a idea of what I should pay for a Super Dexta in this condition?
