I have a '63 Super Dexta. I don't have any pictures to post. Fordson was the English branch of Ford. You would go to a New Holland dealer for parts. However, not all parts are available. I'm not sure of the weight, but physically they are the size of an 8N Ford. They have 37 PTO HP. I do not know if any have power steering, but most do not. Mine doesn't have PS and it steers much harder than an 8N. The spacing on the belly is tight and they are difficult to mount and dismount. They have live hyd. and PTO. They have good power for their size. In this country (USA) they are rare. So there are not many after market options. I like mine and I think it is a good tractor. But my advice would be to let the Dexta's to collectors. Parts are readily available for other Ford tractors of that vintage, and the prices are similiar. Hope this helps.
