Model and serial numbers for Ford Delta tractor

William Hewett · Jan 21, 2018

I purchased a Ford Dexta 3 cylinder diesel tractor and I am trying to determine the year it was made. I copied these numbers from the left side of the transmission case-none on the the clutch housing. Numbers: 957E 7005, underneath these numbers: T3 T8, then below the T8 is the number 08H. There is a stamped emblem in the same place looks like EnF. This emblem is also on the rear end housing. My bill of sale says that it is a 1965 model. Any help will be appreciated.

The 7005 number you quote is the casting mould number and is the same on all Dextas. The numbers you need are stamped on the clutch flange on the same side as the injection pump. It will start either 957E or if a later tractor 09A (B) (C) or (D). The tractor ceased production in September 1964.

On all castings you will find cast in numbers, not stamped like the serial number, ones that are something like A25B or 4A25 which give the month and year of casting, they are usually within about 2 months of the tractor build date so are a good guide. The easiest one to find is under your 7005/T5 numbers. There is also one on each axle housing, one on the top of the lift, one on the side of the dif housing down near the brake linkage and one on the bell housing which is possibly upside down and behind the front axle radius rods.

Post as many as you can find and we can date your tractor pretty close to its manufacture date.
