Dad's tractor

[pappuller]

My dad's David Brown 990 selectamatic from 1966 that we've had tidied up from a scraper tractor to a smart tractor for him.
He's not aware and hopefully will be made up later in the week.

I'm not a David Brown fan but that is lovely.

At 83 he's still coming to grips with the telephone and I don't mean mobile [emoji23]

I've only paid the bill and located any bits and bobs. But yes I did feel a little lump in my throat when I saw it today

 

[Exfarmer]

That is a proper job! Well done

Where is the draw bar?

Ours used to drop off & stabiliser bars?

Otherwise fantastic job.

drawbar is still in the paint bay, stabilisers, it has only ever had sparex type mini top links as stabilisers and in all honesty looks better without them.

Top job - he'll be chuffed to bits

Where was the tractor sent for the works? If you don't mind me asking, may have a similar project

Very nice job that. An early one with 6 stud rear wheels. Looks great!

It's a lad local to me who wants to start doing more projects like this, he's only done it in his spare time while doing a full time transportation job. It's his first full project and I'm sure won't be his last.

We need video of dads response when you give him it.

Well done to you for doing a wonderful thing for dad.

I will try and get some pics, tbf he probably won't recognise it due to age related issues and the fact it was just a yard tractor without a bonnet and covered in cow sh#t last time he saw it

Hope he pays his way, send him out on the haybob, he would love it! Congratulations, lovely thing to do.

Sorry to hear that regarding his health, but wether he recognises it or not, no one can take away such a lovely gesture from yourselves to him. And I’m sure it will stir a long lost memory within him.

Not sure it would cope with our 6 rotor krone tedder
