That gear oil puddle under your Dexta isn’t going to fix itself, and you know what happens when transmission fluid levels drop too low. A simple gasket job now beats a complete rebuild later, and this complete transmission gasket set gives you everything needed to seal up your gearbox properly. No more topping off oil every week or wondering if you’ll make it through harvest before something locks up.

Built for Real Farm Work
The Fordson Dexta and Super Dexta earned their bulletproof reputation over 60+ years of daily farm work. These 35-45 HP machines handle everything from mowing to cultivation to loader work with simple, robust gearboxes that rarely quit when maintained right. After decades of heat cycles though, even the toughest gaskets eventually give up. You’ll notice the telltale signs – oil spots where you park, regular top-offs, or that burnt smell when hot oil hits exhaust components.
Made to Last
This gasket set uses modern materials specifically chosen to resist today’s gear oil additives while staying flexible enough to seal against worn surfaces on older castings. The main case gaskets resist compression set and maintain their seal through years of heat cycling. Every piece is precision-cut to match Fordson specifications perfectly – no universal parts that sort of work.
Installation Notes
Budget a full day for this job and take your time. Clean all gasket surfaces thoroughly with a scraper, not a grinder that could damage sealing surfaces. Polish minor shaft wear with fine sandpaper where seals ride. While you’re in there, inspect gears and bearings – finding worn parts now beats discovering them after reassembly. Don’t overfill with new gear oil, as excess finds its way past even good seals.
