Show us your David Brown Tractor!

[keith armitage]

There's another one on DD at present, it looks more original than mine. A good few pipes have been changed on mine but the one for sale seems to have all the original steel pipes.
Also a previous owner re-sprayed mine. I need a few pins and bushes around the king pin and slew rams. I'm not sure what engine I have, probably a DB 1390 as I think the 1394 had a turbo and came out in 1985, I could be wrong on the year. She's '87 and transmission is a Borg Warner velvet, I think it was also used on the early 3CX and also in boats. Will try get more pics, but here's a couple.

Does look very tidy for its age!

How about this, 1983 Bonser LS55 with DB skid in it, still used most days for something.

 

[Boohoo]

Over 6 weeks since the engine swap and a bit of recreational diesel burning to see if the "new" engine is up to scratch. Waiting for a remanufactured clutch was the main hold up.

It really needs some heavier work than just cutting some dead grass and rushes.

This thread has slipped too many pages so since both of our 996s were working today here's the Sekura cab one doing some heavy lifting

and the working project doing some tedding

The project has gained a 1200 front axle, loader brackets and a spool valve in the last few months so mechanically it's getting there, just not cosmetically.

Our 1212 on the baler…. Ready for action

I remember my dad dropping one of those weights on his foot and doing the whole potatoe picking in one boot and a slipper on his broken foot .

No had her since 2005.

996 bossing the slurry pump that apparently needs 80hp..

It's amazing what these tractors are capable of.

You should have put the video on it sounded well

Don't think there's an easy way to post videos on here.
It does sound well, but it would need to with all of the work that's gone into it.

hi guys i have a david brown 1394 i change the hydrauvlic pump the filters and the oil i clean up the valves it works for about 3 hours the next day my hydraulics not working i took my tractor to a slope i pull the lever up and working but after i go to a straight road nothing happens any ideas??

 

[Netherfield]

Low oil level, pick up pipe broken or missing, 'O' ring behind pump blown, valve in control chest sticking, drive shaft worn if a front mounted pump, spool valve bypassing, endless others.

 

[Alchad]

Starting with the basics - have you checked oil level?

if OK then try bleeding air by cracking the high pressure supply line which is under the left hand side below the door.
