Old David Brown Tractor sitting for 8 years, Will it Start?

[@lllmmggg]

Good old tractors they are! That one started as easy as it GETS! WOW! IMPRESSIVE! GREAT RUNNING TRACTOR! NO SMOKE! YOU GOT A KEEPER THERE!

[@motor_mastery]

Thanks, apparently this tractor hasn't seen much work, was used mostly for splitting wood. Thats what I've been told.

I’m not the biggest David brown fan, but their engines do sound good to be fair

[@theforester3426]

These were smart looking tractors back in the day remember a farm that had a two 990's and a 885.

[@chriswalker1058]

Probably the best tractor David brown produced

[@Eblackadder1982]

love how it started immediately after jumping the battery straight to the starter. beauty.

[@jonperry4657]

Absolutely brilliant can't beat db engineering I'd personally just clean her up full service and cover her in clean old oil I use a paintbrush and generally the old transmission oil

[@mtozzy11]

Gotta love a AD4/47. Always easy to start. Mines got 17,000 hours on her and she is just as easy to get going and everything still works as it should

[@partickdurrant6803]

I got 880 elmatic lovely tractor runs like a dream

[@paulthompson8467]

Good video very nice dB good wash service and oily rag over the tin work and she would be grand👍

[@colmanlong1032]

Not only did it start right up ,it sounded OK too.

[@eddkennedy6458]

Made in Great Britain when they made good machinery

[@i.f.colville2497]

Typical DB990 they were always good starters cold or hot.It sounds really good not much smoke

[@pattonm4753]

British Diesels seem to start up very good in general

[@andrewk6844]

AD4/47 also in the first of the white bonnet david brown 990 selectamatic .Dont know how many hours its done .My dad bought it new in 1967

[@garywinterbottom6073]

There was a David brown assembly plant near my home when I was a boy they had rows of assembled tractors in a field behind the factory it closed in 1988 a few of my relatives worked there in 60s and 70s.

[@donaldcampbell8761]

I learned to drive on a 880, graduated to a 950, a 990 and finally a 1212, always started first time, that’ll be down to the Aston Martin input for the engines.

[@whitesapphire5865]

That's the early one! It's has its battery on a side mounted tray, and has the multipart cast front axle. Mine dated from 1963, and was of the same construction. Like the old Fordson Super Major, these things will start when nothing else will.
Mine emigrated to Ireland in the late 80s, but it's not this one!

[@jandocter951]

Yes early one

[@perunat-on-hyvia]

i got a implematic with the battery in the front

[@whitesapphire5865]

@@perunat-on-hyvia That would be the later model. There was also a variant which had a pair of 6v batteries (one one each side of the driver's seat). I think that as safety became more of an issue, the battery was moved ever further away from the driver.

[@Tessulandia]

i think DB not had side battery any red models? i ve never seen that.

[@Maria-iw7tg]

Ive got a DB 1200, good tractir..

[@theforester3426]

Give the old girl a spray over with a mixture of diesel and oil to halt the rust after a good service.

[@rene8697]

Nice Traktor😎

[@user-xy6qs9qj7n]

❤❤❤❤

[@jandocter951]

Good tractor ad4/47 engine

[@Tessulandia]

We had DB 850 in here Finland,my grandpa had 900 DB its very raren in here

[@andrewnoble70]

i am happy it was not in gear when it started

[@TF856]

"Kind of rusty."
That's like saying "water is kind of wet."

[@motor_mastery]

Really?

[@noelmaher2301]

Your irish. I'm from tipperary, good 2 c an irish man in the restoration business

[@jamesnicholls1054]

I got a 1963 DB 990 implematic with 6000hrs

[@nathanmeece9794]

Hours may not be right depending on if the meter is working correctly or has been replaced at some point

[@motor_mastery]

I can confirm that the clock works good, the previouses owners father bought the tractor new, and apparently nothing was changed on the tractor not even the tires.

[@USMCDMR]

Where did you get your shed at?

[@lllmmggg]

Mite need a BAT TREE!

[@Truerealism747]

Front wheels are rare

[@curtisnewton895]

pretty sure that a rock in place of a battery and you walking around that thing wont help making it start at all

[@motor_mastery]

what do you mean?
