David Brown 990, the big clean up part 2

[@michaellynskey7124]

At last someone on you tube who understands the British & European tractors, My old boss who was a agricultural contractor back in the 1950 and retired early 2000, Started with David Brown and fordson majors when the first super major ford 5000 was available, The ford 5000 was the main stay of the agricultural contracting from the early 1960’s, Fantastic programme and a pleasure to watch 🇮🇪

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments,, indeed great tractors

Very cool!

I don't have any of your cars/tractors but enjoy your videos very much. Always something of interest. I've spent a lot of money over the years on various felt tipped pens like Sharpies, Staedtler, Edding etc. A friend in the US told me I should try Milwaukee pens. They last a long time on metal, concrete !!! etc. I found the very large and fine sizes in Germany. I'm still looking for the medium size tip.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks 👍 for the comments, and the tip

Over 2k for two weeks in the Devon/Cornwall. But the weather I’ll be rubbish 🙄 Looking at Antwerp for a long weekend in December 👍🏻 Fantastic videos as always Steve.

[@normmcrae1140]

For anyone doing a full restoration - on tractors, or other machines - there are people and companies that can reproduce those metal (or even stick-on) tags EXACTLY! I'm not sure if Steve is going to go that far, but it is an option if you want it done perfectly!

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments Norm, addresses are always welcome

[@normmcrae1140]

@@D3Sshooter I know in the US - Kieth Rucker (of VintageMachinery.Org ) uses vonindustrial.com to reproduce machinery tags of all kinds. If you like old industrial machines and restorations (Lathes, milling machines, etc), and using them, he's got a great channel.

Hi Steve, another great video, I don’t know about Belgian mot rules but here in the U.K. the indicator/blinker light should be to the outside of the fender

[@D3Sshooter]

Indeed , same here ... I have two lights one for the right and one for the left. I might have used the wrong one right instead of left

[@richardfitzgerald]

@@D3Sshooter I just mentioned it because I seen it on the video and the indicator/blinker was to the inside of the fender when you held it up, I was just wondering about it because you had to drill a hole for your wiring. Keep up the great work

[@D3Sshooter]

@@richardfitzgerald that was well spotted Richard. But it is no issue as the lights are symmetrical so I can feed the cables with any problem// but good observation. TXS

[@duncanbrown380]

The "reduction 9/50" is likely to be the ratio of the reduction gears at the ends of the axle. There were different ratios for different wheel sizes and also for faster road speeds.

[@D3Sshooter]

Much appreciated, that could very well be the case

[@themarinerkommer4371]

what you could try is a weld through primer on the undersides of your panels that way at least they have some protection.

[@D3Sshooter]

Yes indeed , but lucky me I can spray them from the back

[@andrepienaar6459]

In my country, where there is so much vehicle theft (amongst other thefts), it is wise to check, when buying a second hand vehicle, if all the numbers correspond, as the cops can confiscate the vehicle if they don't. The thieves sometimes swap out engines, etc to be able to sell the vehicle. I can see you are still old school - the younger guys would have used a block and tackle to take off the bonnet and fenders!!

Hello, i have a 990 selectamatic. The lifting arms Are just going to top when the tractor starts, have you ever heard about that problem? Greetings from Norway.

[@D3Sshooter]

Yes, that is an issue with the hydraulic control and the valves. Off course I assume that the mode is set right... Have a look on the other video's on the DB on my channel, there are several about the hydraulics system on how it works and what can be checked

[@michaelclinton7134]

Never heard of a vehicle inspection on a tractor. Nothing like that here in the states……… I always get a kick out of people thinking that WD40 is a penetrating oil. It is actually a water displacing lubricant. Which is what the WD stands for. Legend says that the 40 signifies that it was the 40th version of the formula. Don’t know how much truth there is to that tho….

[@daf106brugge4]

In the EU DOT rules are very different to the USA ones. Sometimes it is better,sometimes worse. Less freedom but also less chance off having a accident because somebody was on the road with a vehicle that shouldn't have been on the road.

[@D3Sshooter]
