I do love those easy fixes like you had on the back blade and lift arms. I could do those all day long and not get tired of it. I am glad to see that the old girl isn't smoking once warmed up, at least from what I could see in the video.
MARTY is typical of thousands of farmers who improvise by " rolling up their selves'' so to speak and getting on with the job at hand together with their ingenuity they are the unsung heroes of this nation
These videos are great & what an amazing life they have, hard graft & tinkering to keep these 'old girls' running without going silly on restoration , i love old machinery, simple no computers & fixable with basic tools , marty does it all outside with no shiny fancy expensive tools & defo is an inspiration for us ' normal guys' he has a quality of life which i aspire to , many thanks marty & your lovely family from here in britain
thanks Marty, really entertaining. If I could suggest one small thing, when you changed all the filters, gaskets etc it is an idea to write the date on the filters as a reminder...
I think that old David Brown cried for joy that you bought it and gave it some love. Hard to believe that the previous owner would just let it go to pot like that when all it took is some much needed maintenance. Good work!!!
Very believable. I was helping do some electrical work on a tractor at a farm once. In the distance was a decent full cab tractor redlining for hours running a PTO pump. A job that could have easily been done with a cheap used pump. The tractor mechanic we were working with had previously discussed this with the owner, but they refused to spend the money. Got to love short sited economics.
Great job another one saved. My 990 has chanes on the arms there's a hole mid point on each arm so the chance fits if you turn them round to the small ball.
Good set-up on that back blade plenty adjustment , been a long-time since ive seen anyone that was able to reverse back blade . Lot of operators just cant do it , even some of the half decent ones got lost trying it . You have skills for sure in engineering mechanical and operational . Your a joy to watch . One of the old school men . Theres not many of us left thats for sure . Keep up the excellent work marty .
Marty I have to say your the only UA-cam channel that I never double tap on the screen to jump 10 sec. I watched all of that really good to watch and interesting. Very well made. Thanks. Nick UK
If you use check chains on the draft links, you can move the blade more to the right, left, depending on the direction, just enough to clear the tire, this allows you to have the moldboard further into the ditch than without, also cast the material more to the edge. All I used for years was a angle blade, logging, I could stack logs,pushing them up the pile, handy making water ways, terraces, I even had a ramp and pushed manure up into the spreader. I had a hyd cylinder on the top link, this gave me much more lift height. I got soiled when I got a JD 970 with a loader, backhoe, just wondered how I lived without it, but couldn't afford it, so made do, and got it done, how it is on the farm. :)
Great video Marty. I have a 1966 DB 880. I was losing bull gear oil through the axle seal. I found that the top cover bolt is drilled through the center and across the head for ventilation. The oil was heating up and with the bolts vent holes stopped up the oil was being pushed out through the axle seals. Removed the top bolts and took a wire cleaned them up and have never lost a drop since.
It’s like the way you feel after a haircut you’ve needed for too long. Great work on the tractor and the road and thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers.
Excellent job with the blade supports and adjustments. David Brown is being good after you shared some long awaited love and attention. I am impressed watching how you scrape the road into submission and created a top class road. Future maintenance will be easier and the road is now safer. Thank you for your excellent videos.
Your videos are excellent, I never thought I would become so mesmerized watching rusty old farm equipment being brought back to life, you have valuable skills, both in machinery & in editing, I feel like buying an old tractor. Keep up the good work brother. (Western Australia).
That was the most satisfying thing to watch in bed, at midnight with an ice cold beer.... makes me feel more of a man as I’m living in a small apartment in lockdown with no garage in Melbourne. I love all these vids great fixing and problem solving you do. Is it possible to pan around sometimes and show the natural Bush and views it looks amazing there! The native birds sound great to😎👍
Wow; the before/after shot really put things into perspective. I knew you were making some changes, but that told the whole story, especially regarding what an effective machine DB is, or whether there were any doubts to its future usefulness-great buy. God bless.
Fantastic! So satisfying to see the maintenance bring the tractor back to good working order and then do a practical job! So many channels leave out that last part. Well done, sir!
Tremendous difference on your driveway, looking very good. I love how you take old discarded equipment and bring it back to life and are able to use it to improve your property. Great job by the camera operator as well, some very nice footage.
Good ..! i like it the way you are , clearing the road side became soo clean , neath , n beautiful , greeneries all over around and wide road enjoy for driving , save our earth ... fot the future generation ...! t.q regards from kuala lumpur ...!
One of life's simple pleasures is the massive amount of work you can accomplish on a good tractor. That's a beautiful piece of country! Thanks for another great video! 👊
Hi Marty! The repairs and finishing up the maintenance make a huge difference. The old boy did a great job, didn't he. Looks a lot better and slowly but surely you're widening the road a little and adding more stability to the slops. Nice job...
Making old iron work properly after all the filters & everything that needs lubricating is sorted, Marty makes these old units work like new...good man using very little to make a huge impact on the equipment...thanks for a great video once again.
Hello Marty T,I like your videos very much,i like the way you can take a an old piece of equipment that doesnt work very good and spend the time to fix it up make it work very good,good job on the road. that tractor will be useful for many more years. tony from usa
Thanks Marty , I haven't been grading my drive too well in the past , watching your video is an education in tractor practice , I'm off to have another proper go as soon as I can .
Fixing up that old equipment is really cost effective. You make working on it almost look easy. Almost because anyone who's done any equipment maintenance knows the cost in raw knuckles and salty language. Watching you work on it and use it is a pleasure. The road looks much better. I hope you don't have the kind of summer that Australia is having. Take care and be safe.
I thought my driveway, at almost a mile, was a pain and you have to post your great job! That grader blade was worth the money and they tossed in the tractor for grins. Really enjoy your videos Marty!
Awesome results with tractor and blade! I never saw a 3 point blade with so many incremental adjustments!!! Watching you going backwards reminds me why my neck has chronic pain issues. My family formerly farmed with older and small equipment and we used our rear blade for everything. By turning the cutter edge backwards we pushed a lot of small trees back away from field borders also used it to push dirt up to close up gaps in the earthen levees used in rice farming.
Yes that is one drawback using a 3 point blade, my neck was a bit sore at the end of the week, maybe I should mount a camera facing backwards and a screen on the bonnet
We really only ever use ours for pushing fire heaps together. Heavy clay soil makes it hard to move anything meaningful before the fiat 450 spins wheels.
Great to see the Old David Brown tractor back in use, especially your enthusiasm in these old Time gone bye mechanical marvels being put back to work, Well Done keep those video coming.
I must say this is some very high quality videography here, much of which baffles me as to how it's been accomplished! Indeed it appears your back blade-equipped D.B. 990 has proved to be a godsend for you! Another thing I just picked up on.......your New Zealand skies must be sooo pollution-free! Only during my 13-month tour in Vietnam as a US Marine, had I EVER seen such bright blue skies! God's special eye-candy for those blessed to witness it!
They are ok, but a guy quickly realizes on the fly adjustments are needed to do a proper job. Especially with the blade hanging off the back. Everything the front end of the tractor does has a negative effect on the blade. Very time consuming to get the desired results. Results that usually means driving backwards for the majority of the time.
I like seeing that after you purchase your tractor's you're actually using them and you're checking a piece of old history and I'm putting it back to use like it is supposed to be
Great video. My step father owns land in Illinois that has over 10 miles of trails on it. We use a John Deere 4600 with a 72 inch belly mower and a box blade to maintain trails. It's cool to see people doing this on the other side of the world. Stay safe out there.
1. In Canada blade alone 1000 CD min; 2. 4 v good tires same; 3. Working with that lash-up as much fun as playing with my Dinky Toys and Corgis when nine years old!
The side link fix will make a significant difference, nice fix! I think it’s the first time you have told us the length of the road you maintain, I had guessed it at a couple of miles from piecing all the bits in many videos in my mind . 4 miles is a significant bit of roadway to maintain I can see why you wanted the motor grader working well but that David Brown with the 3 point blade really worked well to trim the ditches!
Great work on the tractor and the road and thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers. Your videos are excellent, I never thought I would become so mesmerized watching rusty old farm equipment being brought back to life, you have valuable skills, both in machinery & in editing, I feel like buying an old tractor. Keep up the good work brother. (Western Australia).
That tractor was made 4 miles from my house in a place called Meltham, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. Case tractors then bought them and closed the factory in the 80’s. They shipped them in bits to be assembled in the country they were exported to.
Thanks for the update, I'm kinda amazed you find something like that tractor, pay nothing really for it, spend a bit of time on it then go work it and be ahead in a few hours owning it. If I'd of bought that, i'd of spent $3000 buying it. used it 4 hours spent a week fixing everybody elses hidden bodges and still not be ahead. Then probably be so mad with it I'd of pushed it over that bank by now L.O.L. Happy new year to you from Canada, I hope you don't end up with a fire mess like the guys in AU have now. Take care
Damn thats the hardest working $500 bucks ive ever seen, Auckland should have left you in charge of the Motorways, would have had them all done by now, and at much less of a cost!
You should offer yourself to NZTA* as a consultant - they seem unable to build any roading on time and within budget that does not need major maintenance within 12 months of opening. * - NZ Transport Agency
Great video! The camera work is superb! Your narration is just right! Making a dirt road is an art. I like that back blade. You may consider a couple of water bars on the steeper sections. They help channel the flow to the ditch before it can erode it's own path. Thanks for making the videos!
This taught me a great deal It is greatly appreciated and this will let you know just how much... I did not get as good a buy as you but then I do not have the repair capabilities and your repair skills. My property is considerably smaller. My tractor was ready to work. In 2013, I bought for $450 a1964 mostly (if not all) steel Allis-Chalmers Simplicity garden tractor that came with a 42-inch mowing deck. Then, for $250I was able to do quite well on these attachments in really good condition: tire chains, plow blade, a snowblower, a tiller, and counter-weights for both front and back. Since, I have been blown away with what it has allowed me to do: 10 foot (2M) sticker bushes, move logs, grade, manage piles of all sorts of stuff, pull down dead trees, drag out bamboo and stuff with pulleys. The little 9 HP B&S could use an upgrade but for now...
Very well done! My dad used to grade driveways with his 1949 Ferguson. He's got a Kubota now, it's smaller and takes longer unfortunately. But it still gets the job done.
Night and day difference in the road. Also the David Brown seems to have settled in nicely. Sounds healthy, and looks like it's running super clean for a diesel tractor of its vintage.
Great job on the driveway Marty. My son has a Case 995(similar) that he uses to cut and rake hay with. Still going strong and it does smoke a bit. Won't start though in our Canadian winter tho, but he has a John Deere to do that.
www.amazon.com/Complete-Tractor-1203-3344-Thermostart-Others-893501M91/dp/B00ET8W2FK A sure-fire way to get the DB/Case to start in the depths of winter ua-cam.com/video/NeDvCVS38hk/v-deo.html Nothing complicated; a reservoir, a tube for fuel, a momentary-on push-button switch and some automotive wire....

David Brown really cool and the attachment ( grader blade ) a must have tool !
I had no idea how tough these mid century diesels were. Such a good machine and so simple to look after. Love the channel Marty!
I think that old David Brown cried for joy that you bought it and gave it some love. Hard to believe that the previous owner would just let it go to pot like that when all it took is some much needed maintenance. Good work!!!

I’m going to disregard every instance of you saying you’re not an expert. Really nice blade work.
Your driveway is better maintained than some of the government roads. Congratulations
Good job.
Well done.
I enjoyed the journey with you.
Thanks.
Marty I have to say your the only UA-cam channel that I never double tap on the screen to jump 10 sec. I watched all of that really good to watch and interesting. Very well made. Thanks.

Thats great, I have a short attention span so I try to keep my vids tight
Those David Browns seem to be nice little tractors
It's cool you finding these old tractors and putting them to work. I have a 1940 Ford 9n that I'm working on myself.
Great job and best thing to watch when you have man flue!!
I love restoring and fixing old stuff. The feeling of taking someone's broken, neglected or discarded item and refurbishing it is great.
So, tell us, what have you restored?
Marty you are very skillful and really good fixing different kinds of equipment. You one of a kind.
If you use check chains on the draft links, you can move the blade more to the right, left, depending on the direction, just enough to clear the tire, this allows you to have the moldboard further into the ditch than without, also cast the material more to the edge.

And me fella think marty can show us to make a implement for the tesco bags on the back 😂😂
Ha people round here know the value of old tractors, try finding one in Eastern Canada for $500..

Fantastic! So satisfying to see the maintenance bring the tractor back to good working order and then do a practical job! So many channels leave out that last part. Well done, sir!
Love the way you eliminated the loose fittings by just using scrap metals and a 1 inch pipe to make bushings. Sheer genius.

Very well done indeed mate.
Hope that stubbie holder comes in handy too. Lol

That old blade is much better than the new lighter ones, and w/ the adjustments that tilt makes it very handy for digging side drains..
Fixing up that old equipment is really cost effective. You make working on it almost look easy.

Nice job on the tractor and now you have a nice wide driveway and a sweet 🚜 Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
I thought my driveway, at almost a mile, was a pain and you have to post your great job! That grader blade was worth the money and they tossed in the tractor for grins. Really enjoy your videos Marty!
Excellent at last someone who actually maintains! a vehicle before trying to use it and knows why things don, t work., ,, good job .

Excellent score for 500 mate, turned it back into a handy little workhorse.
Great job. I'm a farm boy, long off it but still love tractors. This old girl is likely purring with relief you found her.
It actually seems to start better and smoke less every time I use it.. I think it likes me ;)
I never knew a blade like that was so versatile. $500 well spent. 😀
Definitely well spent!

hi what a great 990 tractor for a small amount of cash and you have given it a new lease of life
That tractor was made 4 miles from my house in a place called Meltham, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. Case tractors then bought them and closed the factory in the 80’s. They shipped them in bits to be assembled in the country they were exported to.
Thanks for your vedios The old grader and old Famer Brown did the job perfectly
I love watching your videos Marty. That ole David Brown tractor has paid for itself many times over.
Love the repair videos man, keep them coming. Hopefully more videos of Rambro's boys as well
Good job on the fix and good job on the video. I think the tractor paid for itself in just this one use.
Nice work! Coming from Norway I would really enjoy a minute by minute video of the entire driveway. 😂
Great video as usual
I've no idea why Im watching this, I'll never have that much driveway and I'll never need a grader but lovely work mate, keep it up!
Nice job! All it took was a welder, a tractor and blade, a video cam and one very good hand.

Really nice 500$ blade, the articulation in its design shows off pretty well I'd say, oh and congratulations on the free tractor👍👌
At some point I stopped paying attention to what the video was about and focused only on how beautiful it is where you are. Thanks!
Damn thats the hardest working $500 bucks ive ever seen, Auckland should have left you in charge of the Motorways, would have had them all done by now, and at much less of a cost!
Great stuff mate,all these reclaimed machines now doing amazing work on your property,you are a wiz.Cheers from Oz.

it looks much more powerful than that little dozer. The little dozer would stall if you try to do too much. As you know. This channel is amazing!!
This taught me a great deal It is greatly appreciated and this will let you know just how much... I did not get as good a buy as you but then I do not have the repair capabilities and your repair skills. My property is considerably smaller. My tractor was ready to work. In 2013, I bought for $450 a1964 mostly (if not all) steel Allis-Chalmers Simplicity garden tractor that came with a 42-inch mowing deck. Then, for $250I was able to do quite well on these attachments in really good condition: tire chains, plow blade, a snowblower, a tiller, and counter-weights for both front and back. Since, I have been blown away with what it has allowed me to do: 10 foot (2M) sticker bushes, move logs, grade, manage piles of all sorts of stuff, pull down dead trees, drag out bamboo and stuff with pulleys. The little 9 HP B&S could use an upgrade but for now...
I see that you can fix pretty much anything!! Bravo 🙌 Bravo 👏
I love your vids. Your driveway is as long as my entire commute to work. 😁👍
Ive really been enjoying the videos you post thanks from 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Fantastic work as always Marty ! Best regards from Missouri.
Wow! That sure does make short but accurate road work! Nicely done!
$500.00 and a whole lotta know how brother! What you do with these old work machines... so cool. Thank you!
That DB certainly has some low end power, sounds as if it was barely above an idle. Great stuff as usual Marty T
That tractor was a good buy. Needed work and knowledge of course, but sounds ready to work now. Any progress on the wheel brakes / foot pedals
Marty.. a hot summer? You don’t know how lucky you are mate.. in Australia we’re burning alive 🔥🔥🔥
I love your videos.. keep it up 👍
4 miles in 35 hours... that's even rather quickly! Nice job, that blade design is excellent
Good shit bro. Love ya work. Living the dream in your own little slice of paradise.
I honestly enjoy watching you use your machines after you get them running as I do watching you restore them to functionality.
Very well done! My dad used to grade driveways with his 1949 Ferguson. He's got a Kubota now, it's smaller and takes longer unfortunately. But it still gets the job done.
Night and day difference in the road.
Also the David Brown seems to have settled in nicely. Sounds healthy, and looks like it's running super clean for a diesel tractor of its vintage.
The DB990 where excellent tractors
So glad you rescued the DB tractor and put it back to work.
By far one of the best blade designs I've ever seen
Lovely little "before and after" bit at the end where you can see the improved drainage. Nicely done.
Great job on the driveway Marty. My son has a Case 995(similar) that he uses to cut and rake hay with. Still going strong and it does smoke a bit. Won't start though in our Canadian winter tho, but he has a John Deere to do that.
