Nothing ruins the look of a classic Ford Dexta faster than a dented, rusted, or missing nose cone. This essential piece protects your radiator and grille while giving your tractor that proper front-end appearance that says you take pride in your equipment. When your old nose cone finally succumbs to years of rocks, tree branches, and general farm abuse, this steel replacement gets your Dexta looking right again.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty steel construction that handles the punishment of real farm work
- Direct replacement for both Standard and Live Drive Dexta models from 1958-1961
- Proper fit that aligns with your grille and front sheet metal like it came from the factory
- Unpainted steel finish ready for you to prime and paint to match your tractor
Built for Real Farm Work
Your Ford Dexta is that perfect-sized compact tractor that handles everything from loader work to mowing to pulling small implements around the farm. These 35-45 HP workhorses are still earning their keep decades after they rolled off the assembly line, but that front nose cone takes the brunt of whatever gets thrown at it during field work.
Made to Last
This isn’t some thin aftermarket piece that’ll dent the first time you brush a fence post. It’s built from proper gauge steel that can take the hits and keep protecting your expensive radiator and cooling system. The steel construction holds up to temperature swings, moisture, and the occasional encounter with low-hanging branches.
Good to Know
This cone comes in raw steel, so you’ll want to get it primed and painted before installation to prevent rust. Clean off any surface rust from your mounting points while you’ve got the old cone off. Most folks find it easier to paint the cone before bolting it on, but make sure you mask the mounting surfaces so paint doesn’t interfere with the fit.
