that tractor does look very straight and original the super major was decent in its day if i remember right it had diff lock and two stage clutch and i think better brakes?. the one everyone seems to want is the new performance last models that were just before the thousand series came out, my first job leaving school was apprentice agricultural fitter for dorset tractors the local ford dealers in 1969. the majors were still very popular and main tractor on many farms. everything could be repaired or replaced without needing to go back to the dealers. still many of them about as well.

I would have been very tempted by the super major , but although looking straight and original it would have been more work than I wanted. Plus I had already paid the deposit on the Dexta. I have my wife on board for one…. 2 at once would have been pushing my luck

dexta is a nice little tractor very capable as well my dad had the choice of dexta or major more than likely the dexta was his choice for most of the jobs even ploughing if it was decent ground when it was rock hard and dry the major got used, i was very young back then and thought bigger was better he said whatever one was quicker on the particular job was what he used.

Just checked the V5C. It’s a 64 not a 63, and came back to UK in 2006. 3 former owners but not sure if that’s since 1964 or 2006?
Been rebuilt sometime since then.

This one a bit quirky as the last owner added a turbocharger and increased the cooling. Certainly quite lively in top gear. It comes with the original fan/radiator and manifold to build it back to original.

will be since it's been UK reg. I would imagine .. but they may have taken the info. from original doc.s if it was recorded by the Dutch authority

My Zetor has a turbo fitted by some specialists, post production ... apparently they were highly regarded for 'improving' their performance
