THE BLUE AND THE GREY
Next to get the treatment is the Super Dexta. Not a lot to do here. I bought a few sets of fuel and oil filters last autumn; they are so cheap it’s not too painful. I also got a 20-litre drum of Multifarm oil that was not too expensive either, far cheaper than getting odd litres.
Oil change
The tractor got a full oil and filter change, and I renewed the oil in the Simms injector pump governor box, which often gets overlooked. It’s quite easy if you have never done it before. I have found that the oil gets diluted with diesel over time. There must be slight internal seepage past the four fuel plungers as whenever I have removed the oil level plug on the side of the pump there is always lots of diluted oil running out.
Just remove the drain plug underneath the pump and let it all run out. Replace the plug then remove the level plug halfway up the pump and then refill with fresh engine oil through the large filler
