Fixing a Wobbly tractor wheel on the $500 David Brown 990
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 гру 2024
- I noticed the tractor was jumpy when letting the clutch out to take off, I checked the rear wheels and found one had side to side movement in the bearing. It turned out to be an easy fix
Marty there is some gorgeous scenery in your part of the world, I think I will visit NZ when I retire.
Three years later. Like you posted this today. Still so good.
David Brown's got a wobble
In the right rear wheel.
But for old Marty T
It's no big deal.
He took off the wheel
And then drained the oil.
Took out some shims
As thin as tin foil.
Put it all back together.
Torqued the bolts round the clock.
Went out to the stockpile.
Got a nice scoop of rock.
The David Brown's wobble
And the pot hole are gone.
I think we're all ready
To see the next one.
Thanks for the fun Marty T. :-)
That's a good wrench man blues right there
That access road is going to look like state highway one.
You will now need a 12 tonne vibrating roller that's been lost in the bush for 10 years for 200 dollars.
Now I m late for work
Thanks for the videos Marty 😊
But with less potholes
Even an old 3 point would do.
Funny how I thought about the compactor roller for the tractor too. Yes that would be awesome to have. Less maintenance on the road.
> You will now need a 12 tonne vibrating roller that's been lost in the bush for 10 years for 200 dollars.
Hahaha.
then he needs to discover a paving machine abandoned for 20 years fix er up and pave that freeway of a driveway
What is it like to live on a mountain top at the bottom of the earth? Beautiful country and really like your continue. Keep these video coming, thank you.
I enjoy living out of town on my 100 acre playground. Thanks for watching
If I ever become wealthy I will take care of you and your family- you will never have to hustle again. Respect brother.
"That's perfect!"
"Bwaaaaaaa!!"
"Shut up!"
I lost it.
Aww ya beat me to it.
ROLLING 🤣
Just completely out of no where hahahahaha
Hilarious!!! Right on cue...
Don't disrespect Angry's kids. He may come back from the beyond to head butt you again.
Me too, I rolled 🤣🤣🤣
You have got a handy piece of equipment !!!!! Martin in South Ga
Your a typical New Zealander. Self sufficient and a gentleman.
Many DB still runs here in Denmark .good Work 👍
Stunningly beautiful country! Your expertise is appreciated.
Marty is the best at what he does. The only channel of this type I watch.
Not sure what’s more enjoyable, watching you wrench or the ambience. Great video!
blessed & beautiful country.
I’m a grape grower in South Australia and I have an old 885 DB.which I love. It’s old but beautiful and getting tired. These little videos keep it going.Thanks for the video mate,it’s been very helpful .😀 Keep up the great work.👍
Sheep: Feed me.
Side of rust prevention, grease also makes the parts move easier, quiter moving, etc.
What a wonderful view.
Hello from across the pond From Niles Illinois USA 👋
just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. i’m just a plumber but love the suspense and the humble explanation of your art of bringing life to the old Machines ✊🏻
Glad I found this channel.
Love the sound of the David Brown, it's the soundtrack of my childhood
your new Aston Martin is coming along nicely.
Correction - his Aston Marty.
~Kirstin “new”
@@AdderoYuu David Brown owned Aston Martin at one time, in fact in one promotion ran by David Brown the tractor side of the company gave away a brand new Aston Martin DB5 to a customer who entered that year's draw.
People forget how good DB were at one stage with a major manufacturing base in Yorkshire encompassing the production of luxury cars, tractors, vehicle engines and gears and also running their own substantial research and development programme.
That was funny when you yelled out shut up .love your videos
I love the way you always measure the amount of lubricant that you pour into the machines. Most shade tree mechanics just pour in enough until it starts to run out and makes a mess.
Technically you fill most diffs and manual transmissions till it starts slowly leaking from the fill port...
I just filled it to the bung, the measuring jug has a spout on it so its just easier than using a funnel and accidentally over filling
@@MartyT In a case like this do you reuse the oil you drained or replace it with fresh?
I love older stuff. Good vidio Marty. Hope it all turns out well
Marty makes some of the best videos on UA-cam.
That view from your driveway, breathtaking.
Where did you learn how to fix stuff? That knowledge is golden! Most people just find the part number then order and replace. We should all learn how to make stuff work!
I always like seeing you fix your machines :-). David Brown was even Sold in France i have seen a few
I like the gravel spreading demonstration: front dump and backwards drag with bucket, front dump and forward drag with blade, and front gradual dump and push forward with a vertical bucket-nice gravel distribution work and mechanical how-to-do!
I was trying to figure out the best way to spread it, I think the bucket base smoothed it out best
This guy not only has the smoothest driveway but also the most obedient goats in his part of the world. Great video as always Marty.
Nice fix!! Really like how you go about diagnosing the issues and then showing the repair!!!! BTW - you live in a very scenic area. Very nice views!!!! I grew up in the country and really enjoyed my life there. Moved to the city after college and it took quite a while to get used to someone living next door. Now I have a couple of places down south of me in the country. I visit them quite a bit.
I love it when he buys something , runs his Marty 2000 diagnostics and starts changing fluids and checks drives and all the good stuff , it’s entertaining and helps me learn , don’t know if I’ll ever own any if these machines but hey
More superb work, Chap.
Your Awesome Marty, you remind me of the pioneers from a hundred years back, simply because you can fix anything, you dont give up, your always highly successful in such extremely challenging endeavors, its like you were never distracted by the modern world that has made so many of us so weak as such and reliant on others to survive, you really inspire me in my own life and give me more courage to hit higher heights, thanks for being you bro!
you have an amazing back yard but l would miss a bit of farm gound to play in with the david brown!! good to see you breaking the new help!!!! great video!!!!
Top Man.. a job I have to do on my own 1290, youve saved me a lot of time investigating.. cheers bro👍
Really enjoying your videos, it gives a nice break from the sprawl of concrete & tiny houses we're used to in England.
such a beautiful country. i spent a Xmas/ny at Lake brunner once and was magic
Your view is awesome. Living there must be wonderful. I hope your children appreciate it as they grow up. Take care, stay safe and healthy.
As I read the comments. I see people from all around just wanting simply no nonsense video. You deliver it every time brother. TY
Love watching your videos Marty. I am envious of your lifestyle and the beautiful scenery there. I bet it’s just a load of hard work but I’m in!
wow good old days machines were made to last forever not like theses days..good to see your kid too bro..be safe and see you on the next one..!!
I love the aerial shots of your area, it looks so beautiful there !
I love the big O ring and grease to protect the shims. now grease up the removed shims, label them up and hang em up in the shed (thumbs up)
Marty gets the drive sorted we get vids everyone a winner , looking better than the last Brown ,sweet as
Your son has the best life living around all the machinery, you are a legend👌
Glad to see you are smart enough to but grease by the pail/drum instead of using tubes. People with multiple pieces of heavy equipment must go broke buying those cartridges !
Again we are blessed to enjoy another relaxing Marty T video. Between the beautiful landscape and the.off grid life it is treat to watch. 😊👍🍻thanks mate.
I was an apprentice working on David Brown tractors among other makes that brings back memories 30 years +
That engine sounds absolutely sweet, Marty. This was a real find for someone with your know-how.
Nothing ever phases you, that’s a great attribute.
I own a Fordson Major E27N and I’d love to do more than road runs and rallies. Fantastic viewing watching you putting them to use around your land!
You can’t beat the older machines because they were built to last Marty.👍👍
Really enjoy when you manage to keep all this old kit (No offence meant) on the road. That view travelling down your mountain track is superb. Please keep the video's coming. Love them all.
I would never have guessed there would be shims there, especially at those thicknesses.
You are so damn good fixing things and taking care of your property all by yourself. Live your little videos that show a normal day of your life. Keep it up.
Yay a little Marty getting an early education. What an amazing place to grow up in.
You Have Beautiful Scenery To Enjoy!
Way Better Than The Corn & Bean Field's We Have Here In The Midwest.
Keep Up The Great Vids Sir!
Your channel is awesome Marty!i can watch it all day! You really know your stuff! Thank you for your awesome shows!
boy, you got lucky with those lugnuts. i had to put a 4' cheater pipe on my breaker bar to get the ones on my massey 33 broke loose when i changed a 38" rear tire by hand last month. that was an adventure, let me tell you. speaking of adventure, being a flatlander, i really do envy those driveway views. it's an absolute paradise where you live.
Great repair, what an amazing place where you live.
Well Done Marty T, making things work using your common sense and natural mechanical abilities, also planning for the future by protecting things with a mild thin line of grease, your son will appreciate that someday when he pops off the final drive to make a minor adjustment in forty of fifty years. Just was smiling thinking how beautiful your weather was that day, thanks for sharing with us. If you get a chance check out this 1891 German "Weltreford" Ratchet Screwdriver restoration, over 11 million views in two weeks, Pretty amazing short video, I know a man of your mind will greatly appreciate it.
Love all your vids Marty, the content is great. Feel free to push more out buddy!
Thanks man, glad you like it
Marty your mechanical ability is awesome!

Gracias Alberto, muy apreciado.
Martys channel is ASMR for mechanics.
Hi Marty,
Another nice find.
It's certainly in need of a good clean to get decades of dirt accumulation off. But you have to determine it's worth that effort and water.
Noticed when you were using your micrometer you used the main barrel to get your reading, you should use the smaller knob at the end as it's like a torque wrench that always applies the same pressure. And when you've finished never close them up, always leave the anvils slightly separated, so changes in temperature and the resultant expansion/contraction won't damage the instrument.
A front bucket is something I would love to have on my tractor, so useful.
All the best, Dennis.
Sweet little tractor. The little guy will learn a lot hanging out with dad.
Gday from Manchester UK...... Your self reliance is inspirational 👍
Marty my friend, you give a whole new meaning to, one man's junk is another man's treasure👍👍
Thanks for sharing and God Bless you and yours brother 🙏
Jay.
No pot holes in the drive way . Wifey will love that .Good move Marty !
Always good, always interesting, always instructive. Your channel is a gem. Les in UK
👍👌👏 I totally agree!
Best regards, luck and health.
Well said Les..
Thanks I got the same problem on my DB 770 en did the same. Thank you for this video very helpfull 💪🏻💪🏻
Thats good to hear
That is one hell of a beautiful machine.. love your videos.
7:08 Lovely landscapes! Bravo New Zealand. Greetings from Poland :-)
Glad you got it fixed without too many complications. I would have thought shims would be used to take up slack created by wear rather than taking them out to make it tighter. Anyway, thanks for posting.
Another job well done. You make it look easy, when I had a small farm I had no idea where to start. I had an old Leyland tractor with really loose steering, it had been used for hauling logs.
That scenery, it’s just beautiful, I know I say it regularly.
Nice work...it sure is some beautiful country where u live... great video 👍👍
Good job! Your drive is better maintained than some public roads near me.
ANOTHER GREAT LEARNING VIDEO I LOVE IT WHEN I GET TO LEARN SOMETHING I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THESE OLD TRACTORS thumbs up marty
Love how you fix and take care of the equipment!!
how does anyone possibly know all this? you're a freaking legend mate
wow good on you great channel, something funny when you had your tools laid out and bought the camera back your son without a headshot standing there I thought it was you and the biggest tool kit I ever saw so funny to see your son and you telling him the tools would be his someday
It is simply awesome we’re your at !
Nice see family participation in projects.
Tyres full of water. Or 3pl weight can be advantageous and a diff lock. My old backorder had this and made loader work easier .A low gear ..don't ride the clutch and just curl and load with minimal wheel slip. God you can get some work done on an old rig like yours. Cheers mate from an Aussie. I'm sorry if the advice is too much but I just learnt how to drive my old banger by teaching myself. Got plenty of road work and building done with it
Good advice thanks mate
You ever wake up, look outside and say “holy shit, I live here.”? Beautiful place
Frequently.. Its not everyone's idea of paradise but it is mine
@@MartyT I live in British Columbia, it's kinda the Same but different
Exactly my reaction at 7:08. Awesome panorama ! Spectacular view !!
As long as there are enough neighbors around with kids for your kids to be friends with growing up... Its not exactly clear how isolated you are there, but that's hopefully not an issue.
6 months of the year yes -- I live in Chamonix, France, the other 6 we are over run with tourons
Like the new editing style with the jump cuts
Nice mountain and stunning scenery
Great job on the repair of that wheel. Nice view you have...
Such a simple fix but wow what an option to actually have!
By the By I used to talk to, Yell at and have running verbal abuse battles with my Sheep but to be fair I did taunt them occasionally with an empty feed bucket to move them and the older Ewes could be fairly vengeful ;-)
You probably give these old lads more maintenance than they've seen since the first couple of years of their lives.
What a beautiful view. I’m totally jealous. Great content
At my age that would scare the crap out of me going down that hill. I do have to say a great view and good job fixing it
Marty, well done. A note: I was taught to always leave a small gap in micrometers before putting them away, so that they stay calibrated.
Thank you again Marty. I really enjoy watching you work on these old machines. And I always learn something. I don't know if there are any David Brown tractors here in the states but I've been on the lookout for a nice old ford tractor. Possibly an 8 or 9 n. Have a wonderful day.
David Brown tractors were exported to the USA, some were sold badged as Case machines I believe. Ross Wood.
Great job!!!!! Martin in South Ga
Top job and a great find, well worth a little freshen up for sure.
I always have Marty withdrawals after a day or two. Love the videos brother.
I noticed your farm road has steep drop offs, I was slashing some heavy growth on the edge of a steep drop off on my 990 when the tractor lurched to the left and i found myself hanging on to the ROPS frame and steering wheel for dear life, two of the 6? flanges holding the bolts which locate the outer wheel to the inner plate had broken their welds on one side of the bolts each, it wasn't obvious, until an after event inspection showed rusty marks where the welds had fractured, all of the wheel nuts and bolts were firm, the stress somehow caused the others to fail and the left rear wheel flopped back and fell sideways, the 6 foot slasher was the only thing that saved me taking a very LONG FALL.
Check those outer wheel locating flanges, apparently not that unusual after 50 years!

WOW, that is beautiful country.
