David Brown 25D flooded in cyclone Gabrielle. Will it run again??

Recovering a David Brown 25D completely submerged by the flood, will it survive?

Brilliant video! Well done, most would have not even started to fix it. Respect!

Great work to get that engine going. Watching this from Titirangi, West Auckland.

[@manfromthemist1958]

absolutley brilliant, well done for your perseverance, not many would have taken the time.

[@andyp2415]

Cheers, its actually quite a tidy tractor under it all so had to be saved.

[@Grant-t9g]

Great Job . Hats off to all you guys who have worked so hard towards the recovery. Still much to do though no doubt.

[@pierreruwet8479]

Amazing, this was a real challenge compared to usual “Will it run?” Videos..good job !

[@andyp2415]

Thanks, I was fairly confident it would be a success. I have got bigger challenges going...

[@blairguinea6811]

Amazing the old Dave Brown is back to life

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

Jesus, it must've been quite a flood!!
Great to see her cleaned out and running again mate.
Well done, good job👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[@andyp2415]

Yeah it was definetly quite the flood!! Infrastructure repair to roads and bridges will take years. Farms and horticulutre much the same

[@Etlam1111]

Nice work man. Some people would have declared this a total loss. But it runs again.

[@andyp2415]

Commercially it wouldnt have been viable but if you do the work yourself it only costs some time.

[@blairguinea6811]

Good job Sir.............yeah bad cyclone, swamp rd, omahu...........eskdale n parkowhai..................slowly slowly we,re getting back .......God Bless the Hawkes Bay

[@andyp2415]

Great job sir

[@jimgardner9044]

Good on ya mate!

[@yokiniqu]

Good work

[@Dieselsix]

You wouldn’t even bother with the newer gear the electronics would be buggered! These old girls will take some serious abuse with no complaints, and still only take a basic tool set to repair.

[@1975CEES]

does it still run?

[@andyp2415]

Last weekend, yup.

[@trevorslater2746]

Hard man on the starter
