Super Dexta in use

My Super Dexta is mechanically excellent. Needs paint, but runs perfect.
Use her yesterday and today to over-spread fescue seed, which called for 5th gear or #2 High range @ 2000 with hopper set on #6 gate. Thats fast. After a good steering lube, she steers one handed with the turner ball. In just a couple hours finished 40 acres pasture over-seeding.
Over the weekend tilled the garden with a double disk harrow.
During the winter, rebuilt the wiring, installed key-start switch, wired regulator and lights, dash charge light, new thermostat, built radiator shroud for new radiator, replaced six weak worn studs on L/R and serviced fluids. Gave her a Red Top Optima battery. New proofmeter also.
This just one of my tractors, rangine 13-60 HP, but for some reason, its my favorite. Must be because its the biggest oddball of the bunch.

Weather is turning warm, and getting a little tractor seat time is pure pleasure.

Wayne, those Supers were well named!! Bought mine new in Nov. 1963 and I have no idea how many hrs. are on this machine (hr.meter quit 30 yrs ago, tach still works). Ford sent me a survey letter and I replied that a farmer must have designed the transmission as there is a gear for every possible situation on a farm. We even used ours on the 2 row Ford forage harvester! Still use it every week. Along with my 5000, the best tractors ever on our farms.
