Fixing a Wobbly tractor wheel on the $500 David Brown 990
Вставка

- 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

"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 🤣🤣🤣
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
Three years later. Like you posted this today. Still so good.
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.

Hahaha.
then he needs to discover a paving machine abandoned for 20 years fix er up and pave that freeway of a driveway
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.👍
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
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.
Marty makes some of the best videos on UA-cam.
Love all your vids Marty, the content is great. Feel free to push more out buddy!
Thanks man, glad you like it
Marty gets the drive sorted we get vids everyone a winner , looking better than the last Brown ,sweet as
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?
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..
Top Man.. a job I have to do on my own 1290, youve saved me a lot of time investigating.. cheers bro👍
I would never have guessed there would be shims there, especially at those thicknesses.
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
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 !
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.
Your a typical New Zealander. Self sufficient and a gentleman.
I didn't even know wheels had shims, much less that taking them out would tighten a wheel rather than loosen it.
Sorry marty that front end loader is ugly and makes the David brown look ugly.. You got the kubota front end loader haven't you. Love to see Some paint on the david brown pleaseeeeeeee 😂
Removing shims between bearings allows them to move closer together and fit deeper into the races.
@@slowride55 Oh. Thanks!
are the shims there for age? As it wears you remove them? Seems strange to remove them to tighten something, it seems you would do the opposite to make it tight.
It does seem kinda backwards.
so perfect the sheep agrees xD
Shaddap!
@@Klimtalicious and he only had to say it once🤣😂
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!
I don't own a tractor.....I have zero interest in tractors yet I can't not watch a Marty video. I just love them 🤣🥰🤣🥰🤣
Sheep: Feed me.
Side of rust prevention, grease also makes the parts move easier, quiter moving, etc.
What a wonderful view.
If I ever become wealthy I will take care of you and your family- you will never have to hustle again. Respect brother.
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.
Yay a little Marty getting an early education. What an amazing place to grow up in.
Stunningly beautiful country! Your expertise is appreciated.
Not sure what’s more enjoyable, watching you wrench or the ambience. Great video!
Really enjoying your videos, it gives a nice break from the sprawl of concrete & tiny houses we're used to in England.
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!!!!
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!
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.
I love the aerial shots of your area, it looks so beautiful there !
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.
Love how you fix and take care of the equipment!!
That engine sounds absolutely sweet, Marty. This was a real find for someone with your know-how.
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.
You can’t beat the older machines because they were built to last Marty.👍👍
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 ✊🏻
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.
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.
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
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)
Glad I found this channel.
Love the sound of the David Brown, it's the soundtrack of my childhood
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!
Great repair, what an amazing place where you live.
Someone step up here and sponsor this lad
He got those ToolPro tools from Supercheap Auto
Removing that seal seemed more satisfying than peeling the cover off a new electronic device ☺️
Marty is the best at what he does. The only channel of this type I watch.
Your son has the best life living around all the machinery, you are a legend👌
Like the new editing style with the jump cuts
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 ;-)
Nothing ever phases you, that’s a great attribute.
Such a clean fix!! Nicely done. Great to see straight to work as well!
Marty there is some gorgeous scenery in your part of the world, I think I will visit NZ when I retire.
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.
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.
Your channel is awesome Marty!i can watch it all day! You really know your stuff! Thank you for your awesome shows!
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
That is one hell of a beautiful machine.. love your videos.
I love older stuff. Good vidio Marty. Hope it all turns out well
Gday from Manchester UK...... Your self reliance is inspirational 👍
I always like seeing you fix your machines :-). David Brown was even Sold in France i have seen a few
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.
That view from your driveway, breathtaking.
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.
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!
Marty your mechanical ability is awesome!
I totally lost my shit when he told the sheep to "shutup"!!! I've been there before, and I know it was also done jokingly on his part.
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.
Sheep: baahhhh Marty: SHUT UPP sheep:wow ok
😀
5:03 HAHAHAHAHA LOVE IT
Sheep... always good for a laugh, just say "sheep" or go "baaaa" and listen to the giggle.
Thought it was a cow.
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Marty T for the awesome content you make . cant wait to see more .
So you don't spin rear tires, tilt your bucket and pull pile back towards you to break it up. Works great with dirt too. Your loader will thank you. Great fix and l like your equipment finds!!!
Many DB still runs here in Denmark .good Work 👍
Top job and a great find, well worth a little freshen up for sure.
When I saw the video of your hydropower setup, I was really impressed. I don't think there is anything really that you can't fix if you put your mind to it.
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.
A Young Marty appears! So.. what's next? water truck? vibrating roller? Quite the arsenal you are amassing.. look out crappy roads!
Great job on the repair of that wheel. Nice view you have...
You're awesome Marty, love these videos
420DP. That numberplate makes me smile every time I see it 8)
Enjoying your knowledge of anything mechanical in your videos bro. Ya'll stay safe
What a beautiful view. I’m totally jealous. Great content
Nice mountain and stunning scenery
I was an apprentice working on David Brown tractors among other makes that brings back memories 30 years +
As I read the comments. I see people from all around just wanting simply no nonsense video. You deliver it every time brother. TY
You have got a handy piece of equipment !!!!! Martin in South Ga
just bought a david brown 880, a beast of a tractor 👌👍👍
I loved it when you told the critic in the cheap seats at 5:00 to "Shut Up". Just classic. LOL
Nice job there Do It All Marty....Thank you for another nice video..
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
Good job! Your drive is better maintained than some public roads near me.
Well that was a simple fix. Tractor wheel bearings should last forever. Your compound is getting a bit too crowded. Might be time to move your perimeter fence on out a bit.
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..!!
Just a tip when using the micrometer to prevent loss of calibration: make sure to use the little knob at the end as if you use the large end you risk damaging the internals and loosing calibration. But thank you for the videos and keep up the good work.
"MØØØHH"!!!
Shut up!
I'm doing the Chimmy here"
😎😁👍
ANOTHER GREAT LEARNING VIDEO I LOVE IT WHEN I GET TO LEARN SOMETHING I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THESE OLD TRACTORS thumbs up marty
Nice see family participation in projects.
how does anyone possibly know all this? you're a freaking legend mate
What a magnificent place you have there
