Sad day when they closed down the Meltham factory in 1986. But good to see some of my filming and editing on RUclips after all these years. The voice over was done by Redvers Kyle from YTV and halfway through Alan Sykes from BBC Radio Manchester is heard. Also good to see Graham Wells driving the tractor with his signature Deer Stalker hat at 17:24 , we had great times filming these out in the field and lunch times in the pub near Methley, Wakefield. I remember editing with a very early caption generator seen in this video...
These type of videos are gold. Sadly british tractor manufacturing has seen it's best days. Only Basildon New holland factory remains and JCB factory's
David Brown are the best tractor ever made I would love one but I don't have one cuz I'm 12 but my 2nd cousin restores them and he has a dB 885, 1390 bought brand new in 83, two 1394s one red the other black and orange, a 1594 red and a 1690 theyre all class
I have a Case 1294 from 85 it's not been treated so we'll after sitting in a barn for 10-20 years the previous owners then got it out and fixed up but it is missing a few parts and components mainly the electrics i am missing the windwash system as of right now, the gas struts for the roofhatch are missing, the hood has a dent on front from something falling on it, it also damaged the pipe on the air filter box so they put a plastic 75mm pipe on and glued it on with silicone i am working on fixing the tractor to it's glory it will be a slow process but i will get there one day i'm an 18 year old college student and i have loved tractors since i was 5 years old a friend of mine has the same tractor as me all in original it is in better shape than mine mostly but the mudguards are more beaten up than on mine i also need a det of door mirrors and arms for it then it should be completed 😁
David Brown were very good tractors. My uncle (Hesse, Germany) had two of them, when I was a child in the sixties... To give up the plant of DB is the same tragedy as the closing of IH in Neuss, Germany or Banner Line in Coventry... But it's history...
I drive one of these evryday at work its a 28 year old Case 1394 with 4 wheel drive hydra shift and a front loader i :D I love this machine its always running it never has any issues and The sound of it OMG! when you get it close to 1600/1700 rmp it sounds like a god singing! Edit The view is straight up trash you cant see a moose if it was stuck to you! xD
How many hours you got in it? We just bought 1694 with 2900hrs. It needs a bit new liners in the cabin and paintjob done, for being left outside for last 10years. We haven't yet decided if it's a keeper.
@@mrlindsay-jones1850 dont have nothing against your opinion,or against Fords they nice tractors too, but for me David Browns are best and they will allways be
My Aunt and Uncle used to live right across the road where the completed tractors came out of the factory. some used to go to Shaw Packaging for export. For a country boy of 5 it was always a holiday I looked forward to and enjoyed. My uncle Frank worked in David Brown Transmissions in Huddersfield which I think is still there but I could well be wrong? Thanks for uploading the video, I have at long last been able to see what went on behind the walls! 😀
David Brown Gears as I knew it is now owned by United Technologies an American conglomerate that includes a helicopter manufacturer amongst its various companies.
Farm Ive been working at since I was 16 has three 1494s (of four total). Excellent units except for finding parts and knowledgeable nowadays is pretty tough, especially here in the US, and the fact that there are no nearby Case dealers in my part of Pennsylvania.
I worked in export accounting and one of our biggest American dealerships was at King of Prussia near Philadelphia. But Pennsylvania is big so they may not be anywhere near you
At 12:20 of vid reduction assembly, it look like Jeremy Clarkson help British manufacturing LOL, great vid👍 at cab assembly 15:38 I love 💕 poster through cab on back wall NICE.
This video is almost comes across as a dedication video to all the people who worked at the factory. As it less than a year before they stopped manufacturing. It's sad to think that David Brown was working on the 94 series replacement, the P100 prototype, which became the Case Maxxum 5100 series
Got the 1594, had it working on the Beach for last 20 years pulling commercail fishing boat lovely tool does need a knew cab doors etc but can't find them
Oh you're not, are you? really? what a way to retire an old Lady - or is it Laddie in Yorkshire ? ....the shame of it -Wanton vandalism !! - or is it advertising to show what we missed all those years ago?
If only the bank of England had of had the money to lend David brown the money to buy case ih in the early 80's. Unfortunately the bank didn't have the money as the country was broke
Im reparing a clutch in 1694 and i dont know how to adjust it because i dont have a special tools and instruction doesnt tell me what dimension are they...
Have you managed to find a workshop book for the tractor ? There should be both the workshop and operator's manual available on the internet, i got the operator's manual for my 1294, i got the workshop manual too but i need to print it too, made good use of it when i got the injectors reconditioned and needed to find the torque spec for them 😄
never understood why case sprayed them red when the tractors were traded back in when they first left the factory they were white black body an orange wheels then when people traded them back in case sprayed them red an black rims shame really

I agree with you sir, and thats interasting story
I love vintage tractors and old videos thanks for uploading this video sir

British, its, Holland, factories
How this country has declined we once made the finest tractors in the world now we make hardly anything .
David Brown are the best tractor ever made I would love one but I don't have one cuz I'm 12 but my 2nd cousin restores them and he has a dB 885, 1390 bought brand new in 83, two 1394s one red the other black and orange, a 1594 red and a 1690 theyre all class

Case ih never should have closed the David Brown factory . They gave up on the Case line way to easy .

Do you order them from places like ebay ? 🤔

Pride of Great Britain. Case/David Brown.
My father owned the 1594. He borrowed the 990 to begin farming.

80's techo music. Sad to realise that within a couple of years all the people in this film would be made redundant.
I like how this as all about case. They are all David brown tractors. Like the maximum range.. 5130.. actually a David brown 1496
It would be nice for David Brown to be back
It would be nice for David Brown to be back
I love this 80s and 90s commercials. An at min.15.37 Sam Fox ist greeting from the wall.
Ancestor of the Maxxum series, that I loved in the 90s.
Chulada de maquinas case !!
Got the 1594, had it working on the Beach for last 20 years pulling commercail fishing boat lovely tool does need a knew cab doors etc but can't find them
Brand new doors available at David Brown Tractor Club.. On-Line.
Oh you're not, are you? really? what a way to retire an old Lady - or is it Laddie in Yorkshire ? ....the shame of it -Wanton vandalism !! - or is it advertising to show what we missed all those years ago?

What type. Of hydraulic oil should i use in my 1200 david brown tractor and where is the fill hole located
Is this the 1980s?
If only the bank of England had of had the money to lend David brown the money to buy case ih in the early 80's. Unfortunately the bank didn't have the money as the country was broke
I have two david brown 990 in india
Is CASE still made in the USA TO?
Στην Τουρκία.Αλλα το πληρώνουμε για Αμερικανικό.
Im reparing a clutch in 1694 and i dont know how to adjust it because i dont have a special tools and instruction doesnt tell me what dimension are they...

Beautiful I want to purchase
Proper tractor
Change up with CASE you can
Imagine, paint that is baked on so it will not flake, peel or scratch off with a fingernail instead of powder coat junk.
17:10 what is this music name?
Nice
It’s def early 86 only made the 1694 in 86 my 1694 has the later front rims and she’s 290 out of 330 made
The Macgyver'ish music confirms your suspicions :D
never understood why case sprayed them red when the tractors were traded back in when they first left the factory they were white black body an orange wheels then when people traded them back in case sprayed them red an black rims shame really
De joven manejabs un case 930
India new David brown in India

Harka omy God

Case took over David Brown, and then closed it down. I don't like Case.
I own a 1594 4wd with hydrospactic transmission. Its a heap of shit. Bad investment.
i had a Case 1594 best tractor in the field. TW DBTCA
Clueless
