Built for Real Farm Work
This kit serves classic British tractors from the 1950s and 1960s era, including the iconic Fordson Dexta and Major series. These vintage tractors were workhorses of British agriculture, commonly used for general farming operations including field cultivation, hay making, livestock management, and mixed farming enterprises. Whether you’re restoring a family heirloom or keeping a reliable workhorse running for daily chores, this kit brings your Super Dexta back to factory specifications.
Made to Last
This kit uses quality components engineered to handle the demands of agricultural work. The unfinished liners allow your machine shop to bore them to the exact specifications your engine needs, ensuring proper clearances and maximum engine life. All gaskets and seals are designed to withstand the temperature cycles and vibration that come with real farm work.
Good to Know
The unfinished liners require professional machining—don’t try to install them as-is. Tackling a complete gasket replacement requires planning and patience. Set aside adequate time – rushing an engine rebuild leads to mistakes and comebacks. Have your engine block checked for cracks and deck warpage before starting. This is also the perfect time to have your injection pump and injectors serviced by a qualified diesel shop.
