Is this a Super Dexta and what year?

I have searched all over for another serial number but no luck. The serial number on the flange is hard to read but I believe it does start with a 0 or O but not 100%. I was told when I bought it that is was a super Dexta, but didn't know the year. I am need to order a couple parts and I want to make sure I get the right parts.

If you tried to post a picture with this, it didn't work. Not always, but in many cases new users have to have 5 or more posts on record before the site lets them post pictures (or links), due to site spam filters. Another option is to go down to the Site Comments Forum and ask YT Support for permission to post prior to that. You can try going down to the Test Forum and making several posts there to get your post count up, trying to attach your pictures to each post. That may work after you make several posts. Then make your post here again. It may not work immediately after you get past the 5 posts, if not, you might try logging out and back in at that point. There is a size limit as well, I think it is a total of 7mb per post (be it one picture or the total of several). Some pictures (often taken with phones) are too large and have to be reduced before they will post.

Could be a Dexta or a Super Dexta as the serial numbers ran together in tractors
built after 1962. The engine number on the block, up near the head join will be a
more positive indication on what you have.

Dexta

Do not worry about the 4WD, just to illustrate that the nose cones are a different
shape. But these tractors around 60 years old so many parts could have been changed.
 
One possible aid is the tag on the injection pump and the type.
Super Dextas usually have Simms minimec injection pump with the tag P4588. The upgraded engine used the Simms P4696.

These have a mechanical governor and not a pneumatic governor on the fuel pump.
 
Major man, I know you are over seas from the USA Canada. The tractors sold here in the States did not have any lights in the grill so depending on where he it that could confuse him. I only saw a very few Dexta and don't think I ever saw a Super Dexta here in Ohio.
 
I have seen Super Dextas in Georgia. The give away is the badge on the front nose piece or at least the endentation where it belongs. Regular Dextas did not have this, but as Majorman says parts could have been changed including this.
 
Mine looks like to top. It does have the emblem super delta but my light are not in the grill they are on the side.

The lights vary and some Super Dextas have the lights on the front grill. As I said look at the injection pump. Your Super Dexta may have 39 horsepower or 45 horsepower. If you can get the entire serial number you can find the year of manufacture even though the production numbers include both models.

See: TractorData.com. Look under fordson.
