Here in Brazil this combime family don't have a good reputation too... They had many electrical problems... But most of them due to lack of qualified mechanics at the time, nice video bro, greetings from Brazil!
They are a very complicated machine, I can see how they'd have electrical problems! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂
Good man dave .nothing ever go to plan 😂
How much do you want for the engine
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The owner plans to put it back to work so not for sale, but I'll let you know if I knock across another engine.
Hello not seen any videos for 4 months everything ok 😁
William, apologies for the delay, just had a lot going on between the day job and my personal life. Hoping to have a new video soon, even if it's just an update. Thanks for checking in by the way, it's very much appreciated 🙂
Yes fix the tractor up and make more vidioes of it
The owner plans to restore it, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Why do you act like your scared of it? Good job fixing it
I don't like things that go bang 😂😂
I did read somewhere a few years ago a case study about a soldier in the engineers who contracted Parkinson’s at 50 years old and the consultant indicated the constant contact with oils & fuels were the most likely culprit
That's not good. Going to keep the gloves on. Thanks for watching 👍
@@davesworkshop2714 you’re not alone. I used to use the adage ‘I’m a man it won’t affect me’ all the time. Some liquids are highly toxic & porous, it’s not until it’s too late that we find out
She is a mess.
Certainly is Paul 🙄😂
After witnessing the tractor and it's condition and surrounds my guess is 17 to 18 years of sit time at the very least. Of course it was said the owner gave the information the plastic turning unit was the oil level stick. All of the electrical connections to the starter need removed and cleaned. She needs a snort of Cosby Sauce. The owner could tell a guess as to sit time. + or minus 5 years. Upon further inspection my guess is 27 to 28 years.
We were able to confirm 10 years Paul. Just made look worse by some very fast growing weeds!!
Cool seeing someone across the pond working on one of these babies, cheers from British Columbia Canada!
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. Always great to see where people are watching from 🙂👍
Any advice on Removing the Top Bearing. Mine is damaged. And hopefully I can get it here in America. 🙏
To be honest I've never tried it. Ill ask around though see if I can get advice, is it the one inside the chain cover or the gearbox input. I would say the bearings are generic and should be easily matched by a good bearing supplier.
The Bearing is Timkin 536. I’m looking for it at the moment. Getting the old one out is my Problem
I know this video is quite a few years old, but if this was roundabout this time now could easily just put a £300 remap on it and delete the DPF and the egr valve at the same time
I believe they now do an 0DB2 scan as part of the NCT (Irish MOT) to ensure this hasn't been done. Since the work was done its never been an issue. Thanks for the tip though!
@@davesworkshop2714 wow really so in Ireland where you’re from they have a machine to plug into the vehicle to tell whether the vehicle has been remarked and stuff has been deleted is that northern Ireland or southern Ireland?
Enjoy your video again. Not sure exactly what machine mine is. Very similar to yours. No wheels and only one swing door on back. Don’t know if I can get parts here in Pennsylvania. A slight leak on bottom of chain drive cover plate. Afraid to take off cover because I don’t know if I can get gasket. My problem is the Spade shaft is not turning freely. Not sure what’s causing that. Again any advice would be appreciated. Just subscribed. Thanks. I’m from Laois Originally. Great Soil there. My Father had nothing but David Browns on the farm. And a Howard Rototiller. Should have learned lots from him. He always Rototilled. Before Drills for Sugar Beets.
Great to hear from you Brian! I would assume yours is a 60 or 70 if it's single cover without the wheels. To be honest they are a far better machine as the 80s and above were more susceptible to the main rotor getting bent due to length, hence why they're cheaper to buy used. As for the leak, what oil are you using, it appears whatever you do they leak a bit. Also, you'd probably get a gasket made if needed. Given that it's cork it's probably safe enough to open.
@@davesworkshop2714 I don’t know if it had wheels at some point. I bought it about 6 years ago at a Garden center closeup auction. $2500. 😳. Maybe I can send you a video. Might be of help as to its age etc. with view of bearing also. If that’s okay 👌
I just found your Video. Enjoyed it. I’m Irish living in Pennsylvania USA. I Bought a Howard rotovator at an Auction about 3 years ago. I need to do some Work on it. There is no Wheels on it. I’m wondering if there should have been. 🤔. I don’t know if I can get Parts here. I have two David Brown Tractors also. A 770A. And a 1212. Just changed the Gear oil in the 770 Had to make a new Gasket for sump plate. The Rototiller is not turning freely. Not sure where to start. Any suggestions
Brian, id expect some resistance via the gearbox etc. An easy way to eliminate part of the drive train would be to pop off the rear cover on the gearbox and pull the gears. The first thing I'd be looking for though is barbed wire, high tensile fence wire or bailing twine after getting wrapped up between the end of the rotor and the bearing. You may have to remove the chain end to get it out though.
@@davesworkshop2714 Forgot to mention. Main blade spindle moves good and free
Well i see that machine in action a few times my brother used to draw silage for that man on a fait 160-90 and a redrock trailer they had a fine outfit for a good few years 😊
They certainly did, still have a lot of nice gear up there! Only a few miles from me.
Try WD40 instead of Ether
Thanks Brian, never tried it before, only brake clean.
I grew up on my Parents farm in Ireland My Dad used nothing but David Browns 990s & a 1200. I Live In Pennsylvania USA now. I have a 770A. And a 1212 Fond Memories of Them. In Ireland The Nest I Flew out of
@@briancostello6892Pennsylvania is lovely, my brother was in Philadelphia for years and I used to go over there and travel around. Thanks for watching 👍
@@davesworkshop2714 Yes. A Beautiful State.
Dave, great video! I don't seem to need a geared starter, it spins fine. I have a 1980 Ford 3600 diesel, the three cylinder. Mine ran when I bought it, I ran out of fuel the first time I used it, and then it decided never to start again, I replaced the fuel and filters, bled the system three times, and it ran a bit. Now I am putting in a new manifold heater and looking at the injectors, which appear never to have been serviced. I'm told they are good tractors when they run. I'm almost there.
Those 3 cylinder Ford are gravity fed so they're an absolute nightmare to bleed. Any ones I've worked on have been torture, so that could be a lot of your issue. Look at my 4000 video and you'll see the pain I went through. I had no option but to resort to ether. A neighbour told me he filled his fuel tank and left the bleed open a few hours. Good luck with it and thanks for your kind comments!
Beautiful 👌👍
Thanks!!!!
Yes, would like to see that Motorhome come out of it's grave and drive around and maybe see the interior cleaned on.
Ill certainly try to get back to it. It deserves to live 👍
Oh boy, that one was rough. It must have sat close to the salty sea for long.
Strangely not, it's well in land. Thanks for watching 👍
It was fired up alright
Any updates?
What was he saying about oil and not letting the engine run away.
Great that you can get this to go but its completely rotted and not worth fixing.
Marty, it's actually in pretty good condition overall. The front tinwork needs a lot of work but everything else is good, no other welding required. Thanks for watching
Seems like a David Brown is a good tractor. Great job getting it going again 👍
Thanks Charles, they certainly seem fairly robust to fire up after that length of time!
From the looks of the sheet metal it must have spent it's whole life at the bottom of the English channel.
The Irish weather has taken its toll. Being over grown for so long has undoubtedly trapped all the moisture. Thanks for watching 🙂
Hi Dave, I'm new to the channel, but your videos are great! You have to tackle the fordson next.😊
Ill love to have a go if I can get the parts! Thanksfkr watching, glad you're enjoying it
Hi great 👍 job Dave my father 👨 a david brown tractor 🚜 3cylinder 885 year 1976 still available for farming sugar cane no problem tip 😀 start onz.2024 😀 👍 Fiji island.

Really popular tractors over here 🙂
Ok
funny european stuff, fire extinguisher, safety glasses, standing at a distance. Where is your hard hat and safety vest?
😂😂😂 I've spent too long in the construction industry. Though I've also nearly lost an eye in the past, and there's nothing worse than trying to find an extinguisher mid fire. The hat and vest I can do without! Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Hello Dave, I love these videos about that 1394! Probably because I own the very same tractor with the very same problem(s)... ;) Maybe even worst, mine is totally stuck. Anyway, I'm about to try to restart it but I can't find valves stem seals, maybe you know where to find them?
Thanks for watching! Where are you based? I got parts from both Agriline and Cronin Engineering in Cork.
Barry's video got me a little bit confused, actually it seems they are included in head gasket sets. I'm in france, so I'm ordering online, and most resellers don't even mention the brandt. I guess I'll have to order a set and see what I get... Any chance we get a video about restoring on the cheap a rusty/seized turbo like the one you got there? (I don't even know if that's possible) edit: I just dropped and cleaned the head (damn that thing is heavy!), there's no seal on any valve stem, so problem solved :)
Hey Dave, I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I started my seized 1394 last week, I have to say you were a major inspiration to get into this job (you make things look so easy, it's actually a lot of work!)
@@TheCowpowahthat's great!! Thanks for the update! Glad you found the videos of use. Hoping to get a new video out soon, life has been hectic the last few months!
Good man Dave, that’s a bit more straightforward than your usual projects 😂 great job, looking forward to seeing the Ford and another video on the rubber duck, cheers 👍👍
Thanks John! Apologies for the delay in responding, things are silly busy at the moment. I'll have another crack off the Ford in the morning 😂
Beautiful engine , smooth sound , very reliable. I've had a 990.
They are a lovely engine. Take a look at my 990 video if you have time!
Those were good ones
Certainly seem really well built! Thanks for watching 🙂👍
I have a important question About the 990 selectamatic Do you have a chassis number?
@@jandocter951 I'm travelling at the moment but I'll check it for you this week
Hi Dave I'm amazed at the way it started, for standing for 8 year that was brilliant, well done many thanks Barry
Thanks Barry! She put up no fight
