On the major Tractor on the sims injection pumps there was a spring loaded button to push to aid in cold starting it would move the fuel rack to full fuel position you would set the hand throttle to 1/4 and push the button good video keep up the good work
Google fordson dexta manual free download it may help you out from what I saw I would remove the air filter on the side of the pump and clean it and reinstall it this looks like a good read it looks like it’s an in-depth ops manual or at least it has a really good trouble shooting section From what I could see the cold start bottom must be a major thing verses a dexta people online were also talking about changing the starters for one that cranks 300 rpm faster that may help you also
@@theGasur Simms pneumatic pumps did have excess fuel. The dexta didn't have this as it uses indirect injection. Excess fuel would be wasted as the white smoke is unburnt fuel. Chucking more fuel in there is only going to carry more heat out.
Hasn’t caused me any issues in tall grass so far. I like how the noise is all behind you makes it a little quieter I think. Yes it has the 2 stage clutch in it
Jim Ballard Yes it does! But after 50 years all the wiring in the tractor was completly gone and the glow plug didn't work right anymore... I hooked it up once and didn't make any difference in the starting... I got the block heater because it was a cheaper way to make the tractor start when it got below 60°F!
@@ferguson20diesel49 same thing for my Dutch 1961 dexta, but over here those heaters are hard to come by as well. we have 220v so ordering one from the USA is no good either. mine always fires right up when the engine is warm, but when she's cold i have to crank for at least 20 seconds... AFTER glowing for 40 seconds which like you said makes no real difference
If your really stuck you can use a blow torch in the glow plug hole will start nearly instantly.
Ferguson 20 diesel Hey that's a great idea! Thanks for the tip!!!
thanks for sharing that tip never heard of that before

Larry Brewer Okay I have the original manual to this one I'll have a look! Thanks!
That button was only fitted to the SIMM MINIMEC (mechanically goverened )pump, not the air governed pump as on this tractor .

Would it not be easier to mount in on the other side of the block? Or is it only the newer models that had that possibility?
I don’t know if mine has freeze plugs on the other side of the block. If it did I’m sure I would have installed it over there.
I like tractors!!! I color those rims good! 😁
Yes you did!
Tractor Guru lol
runs good do you find that the downward Muffler interferes with tall crops is your dexta life PTO

They don't work very well. There's one on my ferguson 20. Tractor from the same sort of era. And makes no difference really
