David Brown 990 clutch

[Phil P]

I need a clutch kit for my db990, can anyone recommend somewhere to get one?
Also is there only one size? A quick google shows there may be an 11” or 12”?

Thanks in advance

Try. Emmark .... who are direct supplier so you cut out middleman
Most of suppliers are trade only

I take it you haven’t got a Sparex/Kramp/Granit etc account? If you haven’t but you’re in the trade then try Barclay Williams for a price

A quick look at the online parts catalogue suggests that all of the 9 series had an 11" clutch with the 12" clutch being for the 12 and 14 series.
Barclay Williams will know what you need, have it in stock and get it to you the next day.

There was more than one clutch type fitted to these tractors so Barclay Williams is definitely your best bet

Kestrel transmissions at Scunthorpe ,We used them when we had tractors with dry clutches

No not got a trade account, could be worth looking at though

Thanks I’ll give them a call, I’ll probably end up having to split it and have a look, I was trying to get away from having to split it before I get the parts though as it’s running the dryer!

Thanks again guys much appreciated

Its many years since I replaced a clutch in a 990, but it is a fairly simple job as long as it is not a Q cab. The DBTC club forum can be full of advice

No not yet, ended up on the combine until Thursday and got a couple of other bits to sort at the moment. Looking like it’s going to be a workshop week all next week with the crap forecast!
I’ll post some updates when I get it it’s bits

I dont think you split these tractors, there is a 9something at a friends, and it was a clutch and gear box cover off job.

I am fairly certain that these need splitting, it was the earlier smaller DBs that did not
Though to confirm it , I would ask on the DB forum

 

[case study]

i think 990 995/6 had a sleeve on the gearbox input shaft,the input shaft could be separated there,the gearbox cover and pto housing has to come off.its easier and quicker to split the tractor.

So, had a couple of hours spare this afternoon (weathers crap!!) so dragged the old girl into the workshop and started pulling it to bits.

Wondering what happened to them, must have been sat there for at least 5years

Wasn’t to bad for splitting to be fair

Found the problem, arm broken out!

Plates not actually to bad, but for £300 it’s getting a full kit.

Flywheel looks ok also, just need a clean up.

Thrust bearing fees ok as well but think there’s on in the kit.

Ordered parts from Barclay William’s, missed tomorrow’s delivery but should be here Wednesday.
Thanks for the help guys

Tractor looks in tidy condition

Thanks, it’s pretty much been retired these days apart from running the dryer, spends most of its life sat in the corner of a shed.

Crank seal ?

Crank seal ?

It’s on the list, not pulled the flywheel of yet.

Managed to get a little bit done this afternoon, parts only landed after dinner so not quite finished yet.

Flywheel off and rear main squeezed out.

New sealing strips in, the old ones where knackered!

All cleaned up and back in.

Knocked up an alignment tool.

Clutch back in.

Looks pretty central so hopefully slide straight back together

And new thrust bearing in.

Hopefully slide it back together in the morning
