That is wonderful that you have the opportunity to bring your great grandpas tractor back to order. I bought an 8N off my neighbor. We drug it out of his barn with a bobcat. Then drug it to my house. He said it hadn't run in 20 years. I felt great when I got it running. It is so satisfying saving these old machines.

[@RamblingRam]

Saving tool and machinery like this is one of the most rewarding and uplifting things I have the privilege of doing! Someone put effort in not only designing this equipment to be as-good-as possible, but others along the way made memories with it that stretch far deeper than the chipping paint and rust. I hope I can save many more pieces of vintage equipment to show my thanks for the people of the past that made my present possible. Thank you so much for supporting me on this journey my friend!

I have a Farmall h and an fe 35 that were my grandfather's and my father's 880 that he purchased new in 1969 and a one owner 885 that dad's mate down the road go new it's a big fault of mine I am a very sentimental person

[@lucgagnon5241]

Like watching DB restoration videos. I own a David Brown my self. It's a 1965 DB880 selectamatic. I bought it 10 years ago. A few thousand dollars later, I would never get red of it. Like the 990, the 3 cylinder engine of the 880 has a particular sound I'm never tired to listen too. Keep on your good work.

[@RamblingRam]

I'm glad to hear you've saved another one of these DB gems! I've got no intention of stopping, hope you are doing well, friend! Thanks for watching!

[@bradleamon4466]

Yes both very good engines in their own right

[@jamesmarsh4957]

fantastic, David Brown was popular over here in the UK years ago, I have drove a few but not too many, lots really liked them, for me IH are my favorite and i have a IH 674 which i use every day for the cattle

[@RamblingRam]

I'm a big fan of any old iron but this 990 has a special place in my heart! Easy to work on and designed for work like they should be!! Thank you for watching!

[@bradleamon4466]

Both good brands I get sick of how one eyed some people are about MF and JD

[@moalleboanne]

The David Brown 990 looks great after the power washing 👍🏻 , ik like that patina on it . My compliments for you . You doing great 👊🏻.

[@RamblingRam]

Thank you very much! I've got a lot of extra pieces I'm working on improving and some add-ons that (I believe) will make it look better and be more handy! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jimmymannion6874]

Nice selectamatic 💪💯

[@RamblingRam]

Great little machines, for sure! Every time I'm working on it makes me more of a fan than before! Thanks for watching!

[@michaellynskey7124]

I wouldn’t believe most Americans didn’t realise that David Brown also owned the Aston Martin executive and Le Mans formula one race team which was Hugly successful in building race and private cars in the uk at Newport Pagnall near London 🇬🇧🇮🇪.

[@Jim-McKechnie]

All the us spec 990,s were equipped with all the extras as standard the uk farmers were too miserable to pay for like power steering and double acting remote valves the tractor looks in good condition compared to most I see here good luck remember and keep everything spotless clean if your doing the hydraulics good job

[@RamblingRam]

I was wondering why it was so hard to find examples of power steering equipped tractors! Thank you for the information my friend!! I've got all the seals I need to re-do the power steering hydraulics now so expect a video within the next couple weeks about that! I'll be sure to keep it ultra-clean so the repair lasts! Thank you again for watching!!

[@michaellynskey7124]

Agri line still sell genuine DB engine components from the uk as well as all filters incase you are struggling to find them in the states 🇬🇧🇮🇪

[@mikemiller8318]

A man of your word 😎👍💪🇺🇲🔥

[@RamblingRam]

I don't make promises I intend to break my friend! Thank you for tuning in!

[@RestorationAustralia]

Super cool 👍👍👍

[@RamblingRam]

I am glad you enjoyed it my friend! I have many more episodes planned that will give this old iron beast the care it has earned over all the years it has labored! Thank you very much for watching!

[@RestorationAustralia]

@@RamblingRam I love watching tractor related stuff, sometimes I do restore them, well only in a toy format.🙂

[@MjS-zb6jr]

If you mix oil and deisel in a pressure spray bottle you can spray it into all the crevices and protect a lot more than just wiping it down with a oily rag

[@RamblingRam]

I've been meaning to try that, saw it on Marty T's channel! I'll try it out next time in messing with the old girl! Thanks for watching!

[@laceybates3178]

Yooo! You should post some more singing videos. I love your voice

[@RamblingRam]

More will come soon, I hope! Music is always been a loved of mine and recently I have been back in the recording mood! I really appreciate the compliment my friend, it's been a long time since anyone has even watched those old videos. Thank you for brightening my day!

[@manfromthemist1958]

your doing a real good job there, how do you pressure wash without getting wet, I always get hit right in the face with back wash.

[@RamblingRam]

The video makes my 'safety-squints' hard to see friend! Mostly, the only advice I could give is never hit a surface straight on, keep an angle that is at lease somewhat pointing to the ground and roughly 70° from the surface being washed. That at least helps me when washing off hard-to-remove buildup without soaking myself! Thank you so much for watching!

[@trentonromig9765]

Awesome I love these old tractors we have a 1210 case David brown and also our great grandfathers case David brown 995 what is the difference between the Selecto speed mine are gear driven

[@RamblingRam]

Selecta-matic was an addition that linked the 3-point hitch to the gears in the rear differential. It's pretty well an adjustable limited slip differential that has more connection between the wheels as the control lever is lowered. Plow all the way in the ground = 100% locked differential and vice-versa! Super interesting stuff and some of the commercials are still on KZbin if you look up "David Brown Selectamatic"!

[@colmanlong1032]

Brilliant video,are u a trained mechanic or self taught.them old tractors can get the job done.

[@RamblingRam]

Never have been trained professionally, just a lot of research and classes at the school of hard-knocks! I'll keep as many ol' pieces of iron running as I can! Thanks for watching!

[@charlesvuylsteke8011]

what size are the rear tyres?

[@CORRIGEEN71]

That’s not a 64 more like 67 or 69 64?were red in colour

[@RamblingRam]

It very well could be, it's a bit convoluted from what I've seen to really get a straight date of manufacturing. Thank you for watching!

[@jandocter951]

De This one is not from 1964, it has 8 wheel nuts, so after March. 1966. It does have a 47 engine, so for August 1968
