We’ve ordered a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range (Highland). Here is the demo we drove a few weeks ago. Ours will be the same, but with black interior instead of the white seen here. Estimated delivery is Feb 2024.

See attached for a high quality scan of the Instruction Book/User Manual for the Fordson Dexta.
I found this impossible to find, so ended up buying a copy from England. The print is dated 1960 and is the “Export Copy”. All pages are included in my scan and have been manually cropped so no information is missing.
Enjoy!
Had an issue with my ~2002 Cox New Generation ride on lawn mower. These Australian made ride on mowers are renowned for their robustness and easy repair with basic tools. But, they are not particularly well designed/engineered in all areas and have had their fair share of issues.
This model has a weak point in the plastic steering box. The box is a 2:1 and angle drive in one. The output of the box drives a square shaft. The output is a glass fibre reinforced plastic gear with a slot cut in it and a hose clamp to tighten to the shaft. This is a terrible idea and the system was dropped quickly from later model revisions.
Not being able to easily get parts for this mower anymore given its age (and not to mention that a replacement gear would likely fail again anyway) I decided to modify the output gear using an old socket, couple of large washers, and a few bolts.
