I am assuming proof meter is another name for the rpm gauge and hour meter fitted in front of the gear levers and not some other form of indicator fitted to american versions of the dexta that i know nothing of. Any help or "tricks of the trade" would be helpful. Does this make any sense? My Dexta is a late 1959. Took it back off and it seems as something is missing? The cable end is square and it doesnt seem to make contact on the pump end. Went to install the other end and nothing happend when I started the engine. I installed on the proofmeter head everything worked fine. I just recieved my new proofmeter cable from Sparex.

I went out and re-cut the field, but can't really compare, since I'm not trying to cut thru tall heavy stuff this time. Well, thanks to you all on this forum, I was able to find an original MS carburetor for a reasonable price, cleaned and re-built it, and popped it on, and all of my coughing and sputtering has gone away. (Got it to run some better by dropping a thick washer behind the choke knob.) My little tractor was coughing and sputtering and we tinkered with the (Chinese) carburetor a bit and determined that it was running too lean. He cuts right thru the seven or eight foot rag weed and heavy grass, taking a full cut each pass. A neighbor sees what I'm doing and a short time later shows up with his old diesel tractor and a 6' cutter and lend a hand. At best (full throttle in first gear), I could only cut about 1/3 of a swath. Never having had one, I have nothing to compare to, no baseline.Ī few weeks back I bought a 5' brush hog and went out to tackle my field. I guess that on my part it was a matter of curiosity, just to help me, (a first time tractor operator), get a good sense of what I'm working with. 3/4 throttle is about what my neighbor recommended too.
