David Brown 1410 fuel tank

[Selectamatic]

I wonder if this is the new type diesel and also wonder if it is the seal(!) on a drain plug

Worth a try...

Can you get to it though...?

Pictures of your 1410 please!

I'll take one tomorrow of her complete with john deere oil drum/fuel tank

NO

Ahhhhhhhh...

On a 1410, there is no space - hence the bloody thing is so wedged in, you can't get it out without dismantling the tractor.
Now. Over the years, I would never have much said against broons but this tank thing is silly. They should have just stuck with a tank a bit smaller but I suppose they wanted capacity for full load for a full day?. As an aside, unlike, for eg the roadless 98t I spent many months on which still only had a ford 5000 tank and under full load would not even run for 5 hours!!!

Reverse her in the shed and split it .You will have it apart - tank out and back together in a day.
Buy a new clutch disc and release bearing and do them at the same time.
I haven't done a 1410 but done a few 996 tractors that the tank is full of crap on.
You will have it split in the same time it will take you to bodge a 5 gallon drum to it

Definately , chances are it's been split before so all the couplers are present.

No need, 1410 will run forever on a little drum of diesel!

Ours hardly ever used any fuel, mainly due to being broken down most it's life, however it used plenty oil as it seemed to run out of it whether it was running or not

Out practice now but back in, errr, 93 I think we had her split three times. The guy I was doing it with was a db specialist and as has been said, could do it well under a day but he is, sadly, no longer with us

If you can find a splitting rail you will have it done before the afternoon siesta
