Dexta and Super Dexta were Fordson's (Ford & Son) smaller tractor compared to the larger Major and Super Major. In the early 60's Ford decided to merge their UK (Fordson) and US (Ford) tractor lines into one platform they then re-designated them as 2000 and 4000 models. To help gain acceptance of the new model scheme they used both the previous Fordson model names and the thousand series nomenclature concurrently from about 1962. So............. There's no telling what you have based on the description. The tractors that were built as 1965 models and later are completely different than the Dexta's that were built up until that date. Probably the quickest and easiest way to tell is by looking at the hood. A Dexta will have a hood that opens on the left with the exhaust on the right. A post 65 2000 will have a right opening hood with the exhaust coming up through the left hood panel. Later tractors also have the hydraulic pump mounted on the left rear of the engine to provide live hydraulics as opposed to the Dexta's internal mounted pump in the rear axle... Clear as mud?

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
