Flywheel Ring Gear for Ford Dexta and Super Dexta Tractors with A3.144 and A3.152 Engines

Description

When your starter starts grinding or struggling to engage, it’s often not the starter motor itself—it’s the ring gear on your flywheel that’s showing its age. Those 122 teeth have been taking a beating every time you fire up that trusty Dexta, and after decades of faithful service, they can get worn, chipped, or even crack. This replacement ring gear gets your vintage Ford spinning freely again, restoring that smooth startup you remember.

What You’re Getting

• Precision-machined 122 teeth designed specifically for Dexta and Super Dexta flywheels
• OEM-quality construction built to handle the engagement force from lever-type starters
• Heat-treated steel construction that stands up to repeated starter engagement cycles
• Exact replacement dimensions ensure perfect fitment on A3.144 and A3.152 engines

Built for Real Farm Work

This ring gear fits both Ford Dexta and Super Dexta tractors equipped with the A3.144 and A3.152 engines. These compact utility tractors earned their reputation handling orchard work, mowing tight spaces, and powering smaller implements where bigger machines just don’t fit. Whether your Dexta’s been living in a barn doing light farm chores or spending its days maintaining fence lines, this ring gear restores reliable starting to keep your vintage Ford working.

Made to Last

Ring gears take a serious beating—they have to mesh perfectly with the starter pinion while handling the shock loads of engine compression. This replacement is heat-treated for durability and machined to precise tolerances so it engages smoothly without binding or grinding. Quality construction means you’ll get years of reliable starts from this essential flywheel component.

Installation Notes

Ring gear installation requires flywheel removal and typically involves heating the new gear for proper fitment—this is definitely a job for someone comfortable with major engine work or a qualified shop. While you’ve got the flywheel off, it’s a perfect time to inspect the clutch components and rear main seal. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before reassembly.
