Day800 GEARBOX GONE ON DAVID BROWN & CAB REMOVAL

[@markbowler8091]

800 days! Great achievement Olly, I am thankful that you and the others on this platform are doing a lot of good against the anti farming lobby. Also your range of subject matter is wide ranging and always educational and interesting. It’s a shame that your latest purchase has caused a bit of a backlash but that’s a reflection of an element of any society. Keep up the good work

[@markmcg7728]

Keep er lit... great wee car! Enjoy every mile! Great to see 1690 being brough back to fomrer glory too!

[@christinegibbins6105]

Hi Olly, yes fix the gearbox while it is stripped down, Potato for the car reg. Yes road noise is horrid, depends on wind direction somewhat, the A30 went through part of the farm in 2000. Silage down today and lets hope we can get it done without too much rain. Thanks Olly and take care.

[@juliandone15]

I’ve taken so many of those DB cabs off..... it’s usually the earth strap that gets left connected. Be careful with the gearbox. The synchro used to go on them. It’s a tricky job to reassemble the box properly. Need to split the tractor and pull the box out of the front

[@juliandone15]

I might be able to find a factory repair manual in my shed

[@TheSparkysdog]

Olly, when you went to the hen house I half expected to see Chester in there digging a hole 🤣🤣

[@chrisdainton9880]

Definitely need to sort first gear while it’s in bit, you’ll only regret it!! Bl09 OLY for the racer 👌🏼

[@tvdbunt]

I wandered in here from Tom's channel and have watched all from day 400 and up now, still working on the older episodes. Been a 92% day today. Thank you for the all work you put in to make the videos.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thank you for watching 🤣

[@k350lc]

Those who begrudge you spending your money on what you want are ridiculous, no one here is wondering how much you make from farming/other enterprises you have. Enjoy the car and keep the great videos going 👌😎😎😎

[@2626stephen]

Olly works to make money and spends money on himself or his family

[@olliedavis8334]

I love the yaris the wide body on the back looks really trick,I'd say it handles like it's on rails with the 4 wheel drive best of luck wit it,looks amazing 👍

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

It does like a Peugeot

[@MorganTaylor135]

Your yaris should DEFINITELY become a potato, seems so ironic that it is high powered etc yet a potato 🥔 🥔 Go for the overhaul, could save work in the future and makes it mint once it has been fully restored. Great vid as always 100% went to the livestock market today and fruit farm tour tomorrow

[@keithandrews3824]

Great blog again Oly keep them coming

[@brianbrady1993]

Thank you for 800 days great entertainment Olly.

[@georgeehlers2575]

Respect to you for knocking out a video every day 🙌 .

[@mattlyons2802]

What is it with negative people? Great work Olly. I'm not a farmer, but I subscribe to your channel and think what you're doing is really educational. I'm certainly learning a lot about where our food comes from at what it takes to reach our tables. Glad you're having fun with filming your work. Keep doing it while you enjoy it. Matt. Cheadle, South Manchester.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks for watching

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video olly, good to see the dB started, yes mend the gear get it back to full working order. 98%.

[@hb_chippy7166]

Congratulations on reaching day 800 Olly 🥳🥳🥳 I think Po70ato would look best on the yaris. Feeling 85% today.

[@LukeTuttlebury]

Brilliant video olly 😃 I think the blog Olly number plate is better

[@mikeenglish1492]

Another great vid Olly 👍

[@i.f.colville2497]

Repair the gearbox DB boxes are fairly simple to work on as you can take the complete gearbox out to fix it .Parts are available if you look

[@jamesemglish3409]

Hi olly going over to cereals on Wednesday from Ireland looking foward to it ,keep up the videos never miss one yet

[@kdm6287]

Congratulations on the new purchase Olly, i like the car and your thinking behind it. I just hope thw next classic tractor is a Fendt. Just make it a original and clean one example.

[@ryanjones2892]

Barclay Williams for parts for the 1690. You can lift the top off the gearbox really easily. Ring of bolts around the top cover and 4 long ones in from the back under the cross shaft above the pto housing

[@johnhyde8892]

I got two of your pigeon's in my shed!!😃

[@2626stephen]

Olly nice one as long as your bills are payed that's the main thing

[@EssexFarmingPhotography]

Great video Olly you should buy an light weight air rifle to sort out the pigeons in your grain store

[@terryfoster842]

Great car olly, looks a beast, congrats

[@keithcambidge6387]

Going to cereals on Thursday. Looks like a big job on gearbox,I’m sure you can do it .👍🏻👍🏻

[@andrewdodds2275]

Another great video mate defo think as you have gone this far you should rebuild the box am actually for the 1st in a very long time feeling 100% today

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@duill]

There is a British company making a car similar to the GR Yaris. The Mini Cooper John cooper works

[@michaelhewlett309]

Keep up the good work,your videos are great and like your life so diverse with the farming.Some people are just jealous that they do not have creative minds. Spend your money how you like as long as the family does not suffer It is your work and ingenuity making it

[@paulrowlands8666]

Sod what anyone else thinks you put enough effort into your businesses. Great car and looks stunning in Red

[@andrewdougal2262]

Definitely fix the 1690 and paint it it'll look absolutely brilliant olly

[@DJC995]

Nice Video The gear box needs fixing potato the more impressive plate thanks again

[@denisesimpson283]

Hi Olly get the injectors serviced and pump checked, if there not spraying correctly it wont start very well.

[@mauriceleach7721]

Well done on hitting 800 video's Ollie, please do the gearbox, I have dropped a bolt into the g/box on my dexta, it's going nowhere until I've found it!! 90% today= funeral.

[@malcsco]

Olly you have to get into the gearbox to find where the bits of gear have went, replace the gear while you are in it. The bits of metal don’t disappear finding them will prevent further damage.

[@prodrive7700]

Buy what makes you happy………we’re here for a good time, not a long time!!!!

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Exactly

[@robertallen3441]

Ignore the farmer haters, you spend your money as you like. You have to carry on with the DB, you're spending money on the engine, you will never be happy with the gearbox as it is and there's a fair chance the damaged 1st gear will break up and do further damage. Leave the numberplate as it is, if you put the OLY plate on, some idiot will know its yours and who knows what might happen.

[@johnmooney5693]

Definitely fix the gearbox. That tractor is in very good condition. You just see how clean it is with the cab off 👍

[@adamsouthern7611]

If you are doing a job do it right so I would do the first gear on the david Brown. Tidy work mate 👌

[@richardslack5902]

David Brown acquired Aston Martin in 1947 for £20,000, and was influential in the companies success that is why all Astons carry the mark DB,, fun fact of the day 👍👍

[@grahamtaylor5734]

Potato plate!!! 👍👍👍

[@jamesauckland8025]

Barclay Williams at Evesham may be able to help with the transmission on the 1690

[@andrewwillison2304]

Now you are this deep in to the David brown you have to go all the way and repair the gearbox olly. I will be going to cereals so would be good to catch up maybe on the Bateman stand.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer 👍🏻

[@NorthFenFarm]

Would like to go to cereals to see what I can learn, plus hoping there'll be drill manufacturers there who i can talk to as I'm planning to build my own seed drill! Not been before so hope I can get the time off work

[@jameshadden4112]

Lets see the yaris going for it !!

[@Georgiee.and.Dan.]

Brilliant content👍👍👍👍

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks 😊

[@adrianchetwynd1334]

@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer Please ask your dad if he can remember the weed killer called; paraquat (Gramoxone). It did the same simple thing of killing weeds pre-drilling.as does glyphosate today. So my question is: what is the difference between round up and paraquat? .

[@alistairdickson3462]

I’m thinking BL09OLY for the reg No. and I think you should definitely repair the gearbox it will be so worth it in the end (you may need 1st gear when you hitch it on to the plough 😃). 800 videos well done Olly 👍. 75%

[@valbarrell2755]

Try Barcley Williams near Evesham for any DB parts.

[@stevemawz]

James Firth at Ewden valley tractors is your David Brown expert.

[@dannydow6694]

Hi Oly, got a surprise when i seen my dads MB as the outro , was at a show at the weekend so someone obviously took a pic 😂 it didn’t look that good a year ago. Great vids watch every day

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Does he want to do another up ?

[@dannydow6694]

If only we had more time , got projects coming out our ear holes , can’t wait till you get it in the workshop tho . For my two pence worth I would fix gearbox on DB right when your in that far so you don’t regret when’s she’s all back together

[@penningtoncolin]

Blo9 mate good on ya enjoy it you work hard enough and might as well fix the brown I'm about 85% today enjoyed your video olly👍

[@nickhill3362]

Personally I would have to repair 1 gear as I would want it all working correctly Olly 👍

[@craigdoig9486]

Great content again

[@neilthreadgold1090]

As has been said Barclay Williams is the place for 1690 parts. Also see if you can find a 'I&T workshop manual C36' somewhere on the web, there not expensive, very comprehensive, and cover the 1690. I have used mine alot over the years when we had a couple of 1594s

[@ason87cole54]

Case IH 9280 on ebay at the min. Got your name all over it. Would fit in well in the collection.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer looks a monster

[@ason87cole54]

Absolutely, would tower over the others.

[@EddieRedX5]

Ollie i think your new car is ace sod what everyone else thinks youv'e got a business that can easily stand buying a new car love the colour good luck with the David Brown now youv'e down to this level you might as well go the whole hog another great video Ollie feeling 99% today Ollie put BL090LY as the new reg it looks cool Eddie

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video olly you should fix it you’ll regret it if you don’t second number plate for car

[@GlennFaulkner]

Totally has to be potato, the irony may get lost on some people but car nerds will know. Sod everyone who's being negative about it, even if you don't make money on it you'll enjoy it and frankly it's not really their business if you have £2 or £2m in the bank

[@SmithyScotland]

Taking the tractor apart isn't a big job - it's putting it back together again ( without any left over parts)

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer 😀

[@stephenisgar6130]

In 5 months time...

[@avafw60]

What's it got to do with anyone how you spend your money mate, take no notice of the people who aren't capable of thinking outside of the box to make a comfortable life. I'd put the potato reg on the car. Know what you mean about the traffic noise, used to plough fields either side of m62 at tarbock island and had to put radio on full blast to hear it 😄😄 Cheers Olly 👍

[@kjhusson]

It would be so good to get the David Brown back in tip top condition, i think only in my humble opinion seeing as you have gone this far on breaking the tractor down, is to go a little further and get first gear sorted =)

[@roberthiggins6401]

You've gotta fix the gearbox Olly. I would think there's parts for it somewhere, probably from a tractor wreckers or maybe someone manufacturers parts for it sting a you can get parts for the engine.

[@thunderbolt709]

are you going to split it and check the clutch while you so close

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer

[@worzee2244]

Try Frank Rowlands over at Clitheroe for second hand DB complete gearbox.

[@callumrae7158]

My birthday on Friday 3 June

[@farmersson6721]

the BL reg olly

[@GDaviesLDGC]

BL09 OLY all day!! A good 90% today

[@markphillips6998]

If you hold the traction control for 3 seconds + it turns off the traction control AND the stability control in expert mode 👌

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yay

[@keithk1246]

Better leave settings alone! I'm sure you've seen the pictures of new owners with there cars in shite within a matter of day's, now that would be more of a loss than a dry year.

[@NJRD977]

If the first gear is damaged, I would want to know the state of the rest of the gears - Harry Metcalfe's Countach is testement to that (and being rebuilt just down the road from you). The MB Trac in the outrow is stunning - you definately need to get yours back to that condition

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Where is he getting it fixed ?

[@peterclarke3300]

Great video again the gearbox you would be a fool not to do it because it’s not going to get better and if you don’t 9/10 it will go when you rebuild it then it’s going to have to be done your half way there already definitely worth doing now and how you spend you own money is up to you so enjoy it while you can you work hard enough enjoy life 👍👍👏👏

[@simonpage8120]

David brown tractor forum has some info on the 1690 gearbox removal incase you go that way with it

[@traceyrobinson7554]

You can get your gear box part's from barley Williams Olly

[@macfarms]

Time for a call to Barcley Williams

[@matthewpayne42]

We were told at college that it's not cogs but gears.

[@bencurtis7530]

Yeahhh potato needs to go on

[@adamclothier4845]

You get cogs in clocks and gears in gearboxes!! and P070ATO number plate Adam in dorset

[@jamesparker4631]

Hi Olly, Put BL09OLY on your new car, Case if you can rebuild good as new so fix the gear box .

[@cmitchell0128]

Definitely the 🥔🥔🥔

[@RICHIE87622]

Definitely potato, a customer of ours has a black yaris great car, group B lancia original are going for over a million now! Wish I'd kept my mk 2 golf gti. Must be some one in Huddersfield that knows about DB gear box!

[@keiths5405]

The GR Yaris is a superb little car! You are a lucky man! As a Colin McRae fan have you got you name down to have a P25 Impreza (resto-mod) from Prodrive?

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Would love one but kind of need my combine

[@844chrisp844]

In for a penny in for a pound, get the gears sorted. No half measures. ✅ 60% 🤷‍♂️

[@worzee2244]

Get hold of Paul Young at Haydock. He'll sort it in a flash, you could run it over to him on the low loader. The box will lift out of the casting but it's setting it up again that'll cause problems for you.

[@tomharper2709]

Ironic the people giving you negativity are watching your videos & commenting on them, making you more money 🤣 keep em coming Olly!

[@alexhodge3775]

I think PO70ATO would look great. As for the haters, they'll always be there but you and us positive ones are strong enough to win. Keep up the good work 👍

[@billy140572]

I think you should change the gear and have a good look at the rest of them whilst you have it all apart, the bits that have broken off could easily have caused damage to other parts of the box.

[@garyellison3589]

DB gearbox , i dont know if Frank Rowlands have much left in the yard these days, David Cowking at slaidburn, Stan Briggs at Winmarliegh and Guy Hall at Cockerham used to break a lot of DBs i do know there is some stuff still in a building down there, all worth a phone call i would say,

[@keithinch34]

Yaris needs a wing they look so much better with one

[@peterallan6354]

What happened to that crazy tup

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

It died

[@loganmackay9737]

do you still have the other rally cars

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer

[@iancroot1388]

Definitely sort out 1st gear while it's in the shop, keep the Yaris on original plates as it looks more of a rally car, you don't see works cars on private plates.

[@keefr22]

The works Focuses, Scoobies and Lancers ran private plates - 'works' (M Sport) Fiestas still do 😊

[@gmurrayf]

Planning to make the trek from Scotland to Cereals to see how much easier it is to farm down south...😂

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@paulcock3489]

I shut my eyes when the cab slipped

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

It was strap move it square on fork and made big noise so rob jumped

[@johnwarwick4105]

Sometimes ignorance is bliss. You, like me had to have a look in the gearbox couldn’t help yourself 🤣🤣. Whilst it was only jumping out of gear, it was no big deal but now you know it’s a chewed up gear you are going to have to fix it 🤣. So many times I have not been able to resist the urge to “just have a quick look inside” and so often wished I hadn’t. As you get older it doesn’t get any better either.

[@andrewwoodhead8305]

Traffic noise is loud at home!!🤷‍♂️

[@douglasorr7799]

Now, if you could just make that Yaris sound like a 1455 you would be sorted! 88% today

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer

[@rpjwhite]

Potato because the Yaris is kinda small

[@craigharkness1662]

30+ grand for that yaris. Little pocket rocket 🚀 thow 🤣

[@dorsetfendtfarmer720]

Sort of regretting the 12 months to do prediction 😬 you are cracking on.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@diarmaiddrennan2621]

Definitely do the first gear , that DB is in great condition under the cab, Regarding the Yaris , put your reg on and as we say F**k the begrudgers enjoy the car 👍👍
