Hello new to the site, and fairly new to tractors in general. I recently came across an excellent deal on an old fordson dexta and a few implements. Now I know it's going to need alot of TLC and thats not a big deal. From the searching I've done so far the serial number on the bell housing doesn't mach up with any lists I've seen so im not sure on the year. 957E89149 any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
The second and probably bigger issue is that it will only go into 4th and 6th gears? (To the left and forward in low and hi) And will only go into reverse in hi. Ive pulled the shifter cover off and tried shifting it with a bar thinking I might have an issue with the shifter itself. But when I let out the clutch it will act like the ring that slides into the selected gear has no bite. And just makes a grinding noise. Not sure if that is a common problem or even a possibility. Any input is appreciated.
