I’m very lucky enough to currently own a 1969 David brown 990 and a 2010 Aston Martin DBS. Both amazing engineering legends. My 990 played a huge role in 2023 hay making and the DBS a 5,500 mile holiday/road trip. The history of David Brown is incredible, man and firm! I must visit the museum soon! Great video especially the interview with Sir David Browns grandson! Thank you.
The DB 25 (in my humble opinion!) - is the most iconic of all small tractors, and the memories they invoke are quite something. A question I would love answered, - is why some 25's have DAVID BROWN cast into the block (just below the spark plugs), and others don't? A great video thank you, - the museum is definitely on my list when next visiting the UK.
We are hoping to make a three part series for the David Brown guys, but we need your support to do so. If you can help to cover the costs then please drop an email to dan@ftmedialtd.co.uk and we’ll let you know how to help. We also have a PayPal link which donations and gifts can be sent to: PayPal.me/ftmedia2015 It will be on Sky and of course here on RUclips.
I’m going 67 in May. Grew up in Ireland on a Farm. My Father had nothing but David Browns. 990s and 1200. Never ending Workhorses. Fond Memories. I now Live in Pennsylvania USA. I NOW own 2 David Browns. A 770A. And a 1212. Great Memories of Them from the Nest 🪹 I Flew out Of. Hopefully some Day I will Restore them to their Greatness. Both Runners. I Would Love To See a DAVID BROWN TRACTOR 🚜 CLUB STARTING HERE IN AMERICA. If I Win the Lottery a few more I would Add to Collection. And a Aston Martin DB WHICHEVER. I Also Love Watching. Bangers & Cash. On my TV. I have a TV Box that gives me European TV Channels.
Great to watch this. Did my apprenticeship at the Lancashire (Leigh) David Brown plant in 1973.I always assumed the red rose on the classic DB badge was the Lancashire connection. Lots of parts made there until it closed in March 1988. I ended up working at another Leigh company shortly after who continued to make spare parts for DB tractors. In all I was making parts for them for about 27 years through all the name changes CASE IH etc. I was lucky enough to visit the Meltham plant twice and CASE Doncaster once. I'm always curious to see where all the parts I used to make/machine end up on the vehicle. Its not always obvious.!
😊😊 alot of tractors 🚜 😊 in the 194OS went 2 a 5 speed transmission and in the 195OS they had a low and high on the transmission 2 get more field work done alot faster and it was used 4 a road gear ⚙️ 😊 as long U weren't pulling hills U could make good time then U would shift back 2,the lower side and shift back 2 a lower gear so U would have enough power 2 go up the hills 😊😊 OMG 1 16 2O25

Wonderful to meet Sir David Brown's grandson in this video. David Browns are still quite common in rural Canada. I have a late 1967 770 and I love it.
I'm a little sad that in Italy doesn't exit a Db tractor club😢 I have an old 780, 53 years old from my grandfather. I love it. Franco

990 was an honest tractor but without power steering they very hard on fingers
