Good old tractors they are! That one started as easy as it GETS! WOW! IMPRESSIVE! GREAT RUNNING TRACTOR! NO SMOKE! YOU GOT A KEEPER THERE!

Thanks, apparently this tractor hasn't seen much work, was used mostly for splitting wood. Thats what I've been told.

I’m not the biggest David brown fan, but their engines do sound good to be fair

These were smart looking tractors back in the day remember a farm that had a two 990's and a 885.

Gotta love a AD4/47. Always easy to start. Mines got 17,000 hours on her and she is just as easy to get going and everything still works as it should

Absolutely brilliant can't beat db engineering I'd personally just clean her up full service and cover her in clean old oil I use a paintbrush and generally the old transmission oil

There was a David brown assembly plant near my home when I was a boy they had rows of assembled tractors in a field behind the factory it closed in 1988 a few of my relatives worked there in 60s and 70s.

I learned to drive on a 880, graduated to a 950, a 990 and finally a 1212, always started first time, that’ll be down to the Aston Martin input for the engines.

That's the early one! It's has its battery on a side mounted tray, and has the multipart cast front axle. Mine dated from 1963, and was of the same construction. Like the old Fordson Super Major, these things will start when nothing else will. Mine emigrated to Ireland in the late 80s, but it's not this one!

Yes early one

@perunat-on-hyvia Жыл бұрын

i got a implematic with the battery in the front

@whitesapphire5865 Жыл бұрын

@@perunat-on-hyvia That would be the later model. There was also a variant which had a pair of 6v batteries (one one each side of the driver's seat). I think that as safety became more of an issue, the battery was moved ever further away from the driver.

I can confirm that the clock works good, the previouses owners father bought the tractor new, and apparently nothing was changed on the tractor not even the tires.
