    8 spline PTO ?

    Why not undo those 4 Allen head bolts and see if the PTO stub will withdraw ? Park the tractor nose down hill in case oil runs out.

    KTwo gone bust?

    They are SUPPOSED to seek asylum at the first border, which in many cases is France or Italy. But of course those countries don't have such a generous benefits system.

    I'm surethat K2 will have one or two in stock - might be worth contacting the administrator.

    In efficient utilities/businesses.

    Many years ago my team were due to walk the proposed route of a replacement water across Dartmoor. We were all clad in old Barbours, jeans and wellies. The consultant engineering people sent a new entrant [a graduate civil engineer!] who turned up in a nice shiny suit and polished leather...

    Blood Pressure

    You need to do a resting BP reading and a one off test isn't sufficient. In the morning sit down quietly for 10 minutes then take 3 readings. Follow the same procedure in the evenings. Repeat over 3 days then take the average of morning readings and average of evening readings.

    DB 990 getting hot, but radiator is cold?

    You forget that with DB 990’s they are old technology - no newer than 1980. when the water expands it goes through the overflow pipe from the filler neck and vents on the ground.

    DB 990 getting hot, but radiator is cold?

    Old Daisy Browns don’t have what you call a ‘top tank’ The rad cap just sits in top of the rad and it’s designed to maintain pressure in the rad ( so that it doesn’t boil over) What the OP is describing is consistent with a defective rad cap.. Probably it would be a good idea to dump the...

    Constant Tiredness

    Also get a testosterone test,including free testosterone. I don’t wish to pry, but no longer waking up with a morning stiffie is a red flag for low testosterone.

    David Brown 1290

    Good point, but also check the rod between the çam shaft and the lift pump as they wear giving a lack of power.

    DB 990 getting hot, but radiator is cold?

    OP has a DB 990, so; Cab heater - I don’t think so Expansion tank - I don’t think so New rad cap is cheapest so try that first. I think water pump is most likely
