I have a guy who wants to trade me a Dexta for my 2000. The dexta is a diesel and my 2000 is a gas. What are the common problems with a Dexta diesel. Also what is the parts availability for a Dexta. I would like to own something different but I still need to plow snow with. Did the Dexta have glow plugs. Also what should I look for (problem wise) when I go to check this out. As always any help is appreciated.

The Fordsons commonly found in the US are the Super Major, Dexta, and Super Dexta. They are all very good tough tractors. BUT since their introduction into the American market have been treated like Henry's red headed step children. They still are. Compared to your 2000 parts will be less available and tougher to find, also a mite more pricey. When or if you ever sell it buyers are a bit harder to find. The Dexta in the US market is worth a bit less than a 2000 Ford. Fordsons in general have been misunderstood and under appreciated on this side of the pond.
A Super Dexta with live PTO, live hydraulics,and power steering is just as good a tractor as ANYTHING else ever built in that size.
Do you dare to be different?

It would depend on how well the Dexta has been looked after and if easy start has not been in common use. If the glow plug and fuel feed pump to the glow plug from the bottom of the fuel tap is in working order, then cold weather would not be a problem.

Gear selector levers wear but that is very easily fixed by building up the bottom of the lever.

It would certainly use far less fuel than a gas tractor but I wonder why he wants to trade.
