1970 David Brown tractor - Back at work - after lots of TLC

[@eg8475]

It is an 50 year old machine, to call this less then a restoration is an insult to you, amazing work!

[@markbehr88]

Very interesting. I like the Old Rusty and farm content best. 👍

[@D3Sshooter]

More to come!

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Your tractor is a living heritage, with elements of both tangible and intangible culture. This is a very appropriate use of your skills. Well done!

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks

[@vernonland5987]

You must share with me, the secret to your energy. I'm 69 and I wake up with a bucket of energy, when that bucket is empty, I'm done. Your bucket never goes empty. Beautiful tractor!

[@D3Sshooter]

My secret? No alcohol, no smoke , lots of sex 😀. And a lovely girlfriend. A good dose of humor and always looking forward. Never regret anything, eat well. Yes lots of vegies and Good steak. No space for sadness and worries.

[@vernonland5987]

@@D3Sshooter Good advice for sure. I have some things to work on!!

[@joannehart9624]

What a beautiful result! A tractor that you can use with pride! I love to see old equipment brought back to life.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks

[@D3Sshooter]

Indeed, i grew up on a farm as well

I found this channel during lockdown and kept a check on the content. It's great to see someone take so much care, and spend so much time restoring these classics of days gone by. Respect to you, Sir. You're a proper engineer.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thank you

[@AshHillFarm]

Nice summary. It came out great. I've an 885 that ive been doing myself. Put it aside for the summer but just getting back at it now again for the winter. It's a labour of love with these old tractors...but worth it!

[@D3Sshooter]

Indeed its a labour of love

[@garethifan1034]

My favourite tractor of all time - The David Brown 990!

Thank you

[@johnlown5988]

Fab video, fab job, love to see an old David Brown.....so much character. Love to see you restore a slightly older one from the 50s or early 60s, say a little 850 or 880 in Hunting Pink

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Nice one, and that is also a good size/capacity tractor for most work. About your pre-war Peugeot car, I think you can cut and fabricate a door on the passenger side to make it a 2 door car. The time that car was built was when there were still a number of coach builders and car manufacturers used to send unfinished chassis to them to build custom coach bodies on. Thats what I think Peugeot did, build the car with one less door, cheaply and let the customer get the other door put in by the coach works if they wanted.🐞

[@D3Sshooter]

Txs for the comments and tips

[@vdel9036]

David Brown's job, when he was tired of building James Bond Aston Martin cars. Congratulation, Steve. You really have... Gold fingers.😉

[@D3Sshooter]

Txs for the comments

[@peterwachtersaghy2723]

Good job as usual. I had a simular job last winter. Restored an 1969 Lindner BF320 A (Austrian awd tractor). Looks pretty good and I also use it on my farm.

[@D3Sshooter]

Good to hear. Txs

[@D3Sshooter]

Thank you. You too

[@alansharp307]

Good job, hope my 1968 Ford 4000 as good 👍

[@D3Sshooter]

I hope so too!, In fact I am sure it is

[@dquad]

Beautiful work as always Steve. My only concern is the white lights pointing backwards and the red lights pointing forwards.

[@D3Sshooter]

Spot on. I did change that recently

[@kerrygleeson4409]

[@jimmielmholt]

Great job Steve. 👍 I can't remember why you put the white lights on the back of the fenders and the red ones on the front?

[@D3Sshooter]

Is changed meanwhile

[@alanmony1582]

David Brown, what a workhorse! Steve, you're a very interesting fellow, may I be so bold as to ask you to tell us about your life history? Like, is that a longtime family farm or did you buy it recently? What did you do during your working life? Apologies if this is to personnel.

[@D3Sshooter]

Haha, maybe i make one video on that. I have the farm since 30 years. I guess i could make another video on it. But i do have some on my channel. There is a playlist on that

[@spannerdog123]

Great tractors I have a 995 myself, you have done a very good job but just one question why didn’t you paint the wheels too?

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks. I was planning to. But did not. Something for later

[@MarshallSmart]

Hello there I have a 996 and 60% of the bonnet was missing, rusted away as it sat by the sea for 2 years before I got it. Could you tell me what the bonnet measures from the front of the light holder to where the dash attaches please. The centre measurement would do nicely. I am rebuilding it but not for show just to be useable. M 😀

[@D3Sshooter]

I will as soon as i am home after the weekend

[@MarshallSmart]

hallo daar . een heel mooie restoratie van uw david brown . bent u nederlands of franstalig daar ik zag dat u een belgische nr plaat op uw auto had in een andere video . groetjes

Oh yes. Can’t sit still

[@davidgerrard8661]

@D3Sshooter great answer 😁

[@renetucson1143]

Hoi Steve. Vergis ik me of heb je deze beelden al eerder eens gedeeld? Niet dat ik het erg vind, want dit was misschien wel mijn favoriete project van je. Zei je echt dat je dezelfde olie gebruikt voor de motor als voor de hydrauliek? Groeten uit NL-Limburg.

[@D3Sshooter]

Ja, dit is een summary video.... de andere zijn de volle die elk tegen de 30 minuten lopen... Groeten uit West Vlaanderen
