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

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

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.

[@christophersmith7714]

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

[@user-fz4vx5ex5s]

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

[@andyp2415]

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

[@spannerdog123]

Great work, seems you covered all the bases , credit to you for being so thorough.

[@andyp2415]

Cheers mate

[@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.

[@yokiniqu]

Good work

[@caciquequintana2761]

Great job sir

[@064fiddyx]

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.

[@jimgardner9044]

Good on ya mate!

[@trevorslater2746]

Hard man on the starter

[@1975CEES]

[@andyp2415]

Last weekend, yup.
