They are a very complicated machine, I can see how they'd have electrical problems! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂

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.

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 🙂

The owner plans to restore it, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I don't like things that go bang 😂😂

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

Certainly is Paul 🙄😂

We were able to confirm 10 years Paul. Just made look worse by some very fast growing weeds!!

Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. Always great to see where people are watching from 🙂👍

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 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?

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 👌

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

They certainly did, still have a lot of nice gear up there! Only a few miles from me.

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.

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!

Thanks!!!!

Ill certainly try to get back to it. It deserves to live 👍

Strangely not, it's well in land. Thanks for watching 👍

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

Thanks Charles, they certainly seem fairly robust to fire up after that length of time!

The Irish weather has taken its toll. Being over grown for so long has undoubtedly trapped all the moisture. Thanks for watching 🙂

Ill love to have a go if I can get the parts! Thanksfkr watching, glad you're enjoying it

Must be such a beautiful place to live!!! The old DBs are tough tractors!

Unfortunately the heater plug system was non existent. The wiring and plug I could have changed, but the pipework was a mess.

Thanks John!!

😅😅😅

Really popular tractors over here 🙂

😂😂😂 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 🙂👍

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!

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 😂

They are a lovely engine. Take a look at my 990 video if you have time!

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

Thanks Barry! She put up no fight
