Would Grays loader brackets from 1390 go on a 1594 ?
Not a broon expert but 1390 is 4cyl and 1594 is 6 cup so surely they would be too short?Would Grays loader brackets from 1390 go on a 1594 ?
Only way is to try it. DB loaders used the same booms for 4 and 6 cylinder tractors and the brackets had different mounting holes for each tractor, but I've no idea what way Grays brackets were. If the 1390 is 2wd and the 1594 is 4wd the loader might not be up to it and you'd be better looking for a DB QD90 loader or the Case equivalent which I think was the L1500Would Grays loader brackets from 1390 go on a 1594 ?
Looking good @Selectamatic - have you done that one up a bit?
Is that a nice 780 with the cutaway side panel for the fuel pump? Wasn’t this a lightweight 880 but still with 46hp? Rare to find in this condition nowadays I would imagine.
I notice it is stationary Emyr; did you have had to walk home, again?
If you had only phoned me I would have willingly come over and given you a tow with my 135.
Loved this thread.
David browns always seemed to fit loaders better than other brands at the time, with mostly tidy pipework. Fergie still on electric trip when DB loaders were all nice modern power loaders.
When I was in my teens used to see load after load of open platforms, going down the A628 heading for Hull & export markets.
Shame that the Indian manufactors have gone with bootleg MF, Renalt & Ford not DB 780/880's.
Fussy hydrauclics were their biggest fault in my opinion. I know keep the gaskets tidy & change the oil ok.
Fond memories of fertiliser spreading with 780 & bogballie spreader (vicon before but hated the thing). Used to top dress when soils still damp, it used to almost float.
We had 2 loader tractor dbs. First a 950 implematic, the loader diddnt get used that much as we really diddnt have the sheds to utilize it. Next we had an 1968 880 selectamatic with a loader on. (Trip loader later converted to power). That outfit did some serious work, mucking out the cattle lean too and the pig sheds, it wore out 3 db muck gripes and two buckets. It had a bloody big concrete barrel on the back a Russell's flat 8 grab on the front and no power steering. I can remember it stacking 48s behind our bungalow when I was a kid, the farm worker driving it (my dad had the 1210 on the baler). It was sold in 1990 for £250. Seven year old me stropped for a week. I have a seven year old lad now and I can't bring myself to get shot of our old 1210 because I can remember how upset I was when our little 880 went.Loved this thread.
