I believe it is a Dexta, but don't know much more about it. It has hand stamped on the left side of the block the number 1613003. On the bell housing it has the number 957E 7505C T1 cast into it. It also has L27H cast into it. I'm attaching some pictures of it. We looked at several web sites with serial number information, but only got confused. Any help with model and year of manufacture information would be much appreciated. [Reply]   [No Email]

It was everything the new 3000 was to be two years later. live pto and live hydraulics.. only did not have power steering. otherwise, was fab in every way. Everyone who farm with it will tell you the same. parts can be difficult as it was english made, and you may have to look over there. but very rarely needed anyting other than fuel.

That will tell you what year it is. If it is original, the hood with the Ford decal came out in 1964. [Reply]  [No Email]
