One for DB fans

[Selectamatic]

It's for sale by a chap near Chester who deals in second hand stuff, and a fair few DB's. I do not know anything of his character.

The 1694 is a proper Marmite thing, I think they are rare and desirable, others think they are as desirable as the clap.

This one has been restored, not to a great standard IMO, I would go to see the thing running before buying it.

Check the Hydra Shift works
Check that the engine has good oil pressure, has the oil pump been changed?
Do the Hydraulics work?
General condition?

It's been on ebay many times by now, possibly a case of all that glitters...?

I can honestly say I never had a 1594 give me any trouble at all!





mind you it was one of the few DB tractors I never did own

Seems to be a tidy, genuine tractor with low hours

Would be better than my bucket ,its rotten.years of fym got the better of it.

It should have a brace or two on the inside to look genuine.

Is that brace in middle of bucket?

Depended on which bucket width, here's one with three, some had two and some only one, but I can't recall any DB made, without, except maybe for the trip loader, and it was like using a spoon then.
