[QUOTE="Selectamatic, post: 6781810, member: 2813"] Well revived [USER=39018]@New Puritan[/USER] Here's something i've been working on for a while... For the most part is a very early 1966 990, which looked the part, but had been mechanically roughed up a bit. I had acquired a 990 with a three stick, 12 speed gearbox many years ago, and it sat in the back of the shed until last year. Various other bits and bobs grafted on, and we ended up with this... [ATTACH type="full"]859710[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]859711[/ATTACH] Since taking these pictures, the front axle is sorted, so the steering is back to how it should be, and the width has been reset so I can put it on a plough. As i said, a bit of everything, a early 990, with a 12 speed gearbox, narrow, higher front wheels (from a set of rowcrop axles i had a while ago. Power Assisted steering. Exhaust Brake. Genuine DB roll bar with the aftermarket wings, double acting spool valve, I've got a bonnet guard for it to go on, all i need now is a set of L shaped weights for it. Tyres too, it needs a set of back tyres. I had a bit of fun with the rear crank seal leaking, but with the help of a very knowlageable time served DB expert, that seems to have been sorted. Looking forward for the weather to get it in the field. :) [/QUOTE]
