THE FULL STORY OF HOW DAVID BROWN, BECAME CASE IH

[@deanbial]

I grew up on a dairy farm near Green Bay, Wisconsin and we used a 1972 David Brown and several Case tractors. Lots of fond memories.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks for watching. I'd really love to visit Wisconsin one day. 👍

[@chriswalker1058]

Fantastic video I’ve 5 browns myself and within a mile of my home their is 32 David brown tractors and most of them still earning their keep

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Wow, that's super. Thanks for watching 👍

[@johnlown5988]

Fab vid, just me watching, had a little red 1959 David Brown 850 for 3 years back in the 70s. Miss it today and still think of it every day!

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Nice one Alan Another very interesting and informative video. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to bring us this information (1)

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks Pat. It's tough getting the time sometimes, but I love doing it 😊

[@Gearoid35]

Thanks Alan, good info, they was a lot of David Brown's around cork, Atkins in the city used to sell them (2)

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks Gearoid 👍

[@ianmckay1780]

Hi Alan, thanks for this video. I know you have a very full list of video's to do, so just do what you can, as and when! Sadly, I'm the only one (1) watching your video's, as I live alone, and am disabled and can't get out anyway. Look forward to whatever you decide to present next week, best wishes from UK.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks, Ian. I'm definitely not short of material, that's for sure. I'm glad you are getting some enjoyment out of them.. 👍

[@davidbrennan3613]

The first tractor i drove was a David Brown 995 in 1985 .another class video as always

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks David 👍

[@robayliffe]

Great video , my grandfather had all David brown tractors and when I took over the family orchard I bought a new 1390 4wd and still use it. I still have the last David brown that my grandfather bought which was a 880 implematic 3 cylinder the plan is to restore it one day. In Australia the 90 series were marketed as Case tractors .

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks for your comment Robert. Hopefully you get round to restoring it.. 👍

Good vid, love to hear about the browns, ive a 996 which i learned to drive on, now with over 9400 hours and still going strong! (Just myself watching the video)

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks for watching. 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

(1) great video Alan, as u say there is serious amount of work goes into those types of videos. Uncle farmed with DB all his life and my grandfather traded in his new 35 for a 990 as he had a bad heart and the db rocked much less on the baler than the little 35. 👍

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks Cathal.. Yeah it takes time as you know, but there is a world of good info out there on the Internet from great sources. I feel I need to do another MF one soon to keep the Massey fans happy 😁

[@pierceol966]

1×👀 another fine video Alan,i remember when David brown changed to Case there were a few white Case tractors around our area back in the early 80s,i have a Case ih 4230 as a second tractor so will be looking forward to the Case ih video, thanks Alan

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks Pierce 👍

Used to have a 1394, 4wd Hydra-Shift. At the time, the 94 series had brilliant traction especially ploughing and driving in the snow. As standard was an adjustable high clearance rear axle. Hydra-Shift was a way ahead of it's time but slow on the road. Second to third gear took a while to select when cold. Some operators reversed the crank under the dashboard giving up changes towards the driver. Alternatively the whole lever was relocated to the right of the range lever. First gear always had to be selected once the clutch was depressed. Synchromesh gearboxes only had synchromesh between second and third gear. Sekura cabs were big and comfortable with large opening doors but visibility was not so good. Quite an interesting feature was a lever to the right of the driver to select tandem hydraulic pumps to double oil flow to the remotes. 4wd Front axle options were Carraro or ZF.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks for that information. It's much appreciated 👍

[@donmaloney6226]

Great video Alan why did they go with Four digit Model # for 1194 why not keep it as a 885. Looking forward to hearing more about Doncaster Factory and conflicts and cooperation between Meltham and Doncaster.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks. Most likely to align itself with the model designation of Case and IH models in the US.. They were owned by Tennaco at that stage, who owned Case and were making moves on International Harvester. As they were now all under the one umbrella, it would make sense to match the model series designation. Hope that answers your question 👍

[@faFsman]

I had a 1390 at one stage, very capable at the time. Just myself viewing. Thanks

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks for that.. 👍

[@richardthomasmillican3980]

The company I worked for had an 'S' reg DB1210 4wd, followed by a 'A' reg Case 1490 4wd, then a 'G' reg Case 995 4 wd. Reliable workhorses, and a good nearby dealer. (1 view)

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Thanks for that 👍

[@bradleamon4466]

That's the real secret if you have a really good dealership that backs the products and puts a high priority on customer satisfaction

I owned a 1980 1490 David Brown Case until 1986 equipped with the DB 4WD option, no cab & a Case66L loader here in Alberta. What a disaster this tractor was---should have been ditched in mid Atlantic rather than its final destination here! In roughly 4000hrs it was out of commission consistently to the point that the Serial number is permanently etched in my memory. You name any component on the tractor---it failed. Speaking to any 1690 owners---a similar experience. In 1986 this was replaced with a Ford4610, similarly equipped---what a breath of fresh air!

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

That'd a bit of a horror story 🙈 They would, in general, be regarded a reliable machine back in their day and are still well loved. Thanks for watching 👍

[@don66hotrod94]

Here in the States, the 1690 was known as one of the worst tractors Case ever put on the market. Case dealers were loathe to take them back on new trades as they had little value.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@@don66hotrod94 Thanks for watching 👍

Driven many makes and models,doubled the hours in one day,11 to 22,in a 1390 hydra shift with a welgar baler!!Happy days.On future vids,ursus,universal were rubbish,zetors were good in their day.Wonder if SAME tractors interest you,they were summat different!👍 1 🚜🤔👍
