In this video we continue with the electrical system of the David Brown. Checking and verifying the gauges and sensors , alternator and removing all the cabling from the dashboard...
I'm not sure if you're a professor, a genius, or just a renaissance man. But, you're one of those for sure. Your ability to simplify and explain the complex is a real talent. Thanks for taking the time to create your videos.
Thanks for the comments, I am just a simple minded person, I hate bullshit and attitudes and even more managerial nonsens . So I guess I am old school.... TXS pal
@@D3Sshooter what was your profession? How do you know all this stuff lol - you must have been a mechanic or something. I am a retired veterinarian and trying to rehabitilate my 3 David Brown tractors and your videos are very helpful and I share your mindset of buying old things cheaply and making them new again- much better than buying new stuff!
I am amazed with RU-vid and more so with you sir. I have a 1974 David Brown 990, and I need to rewire everything. Now here is a guy doing exactly that on a tractor just like mine. And...the guy is very good at explaining it! No extra ego, no shaky camera-work. I commend you and thank you.
Nice to meet you, this is my first comment from Japan. I have a David brown 880 Implematic with front bucket. I got one and am using it to clear snow. The only thing I can do about cars is change the oil. My David brown can also be cured in many ways. It's very helpful, thank you.
All these years and I've never really considered how an alternator works. What a brilliant explanation Steve, thank you, I've learned something there. This series is a bit special to me, a DB 990 was the first vehicle I ever drove as a ten year old, you're bringing it all back!
Really excellent videos Steve, I have a 1968 Jensen Mk1 that I've restored, your explanation of the of the electrical systems tacho, fuel gauges, alternator etc with diagrams and practical demonstrations are superb, I’ve learnt a great deal from you - thank you.
I love your films Steve always interesting I am an ex tractor mechanic and am restoring a 1964 military Land Rover and even at my age I pick up interesting tips from you. Excellent and keep safe.
Hi Steve it’s a 2A lwb I have totally stripped it, I have just rebuilt the petrol engine and I am now doing a Diesel engine I had to sell on so the money can go in my chassis fund, the chassis is being a military special quite expensive, my chassis is totally rotten
May I also Thankyou for your brilliant explanation in the db990 series, I will continue to follow and learn more about my own 1966 tractor , Thankyou 👍
Your usual high quality video,s , just a point in case you didn,t cover it , ( I haven,t watched it all yet so I apologise if you have ) , all electro - magnetic flasher units work better if mounted vertically , with the wires right at the bottom , you get a fuller , healthier "click" to it,s pulse , just a tip I learnt at college , thanks guys , watch the master !
Congratulations for all your videos on David Brown 990 (I own a selectamatic). This is exactly what I need to maintain my tractor. Your explanations are really clear and the quality of images and sound is perfect. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
always enjoy watching you bring old machines back to life :) Been an inspiration for me on several of my projects already, Update for you My series 3 land Rover is nearing the day :) Waiting to rebuild the 200tdi now is all the rest is pretty much done
Finally someone that can explain how an alternator works!! Thanks for the lesson! I have an 885 and a 995 with electrical problems...not any more though! Thanks again!
Thank you so much. I am doing the exact same thing to my DB 995. The quality and clarity of your videos are brilliant, I understand so much more about what I am trying to achieve. Please keep doing what you do, I will be watching your great work.
Just found this video series and through it your channel. Loving this resto, looking forward to seeing all the other amazing playlists on your channel!
im looking for so many time for this to repair the electrical of my old renault tractor my self , u just can find this information nowhere !! god bless u my friend ! probably the best tractor youtuber ! ( love if u hade any repairs to Renault 70s tractor done pls upload ! )
Brilliant as always. Steve (if i can call you by your first name) photography-mechanic-painter-electrician if you mind me asking...what was/is your daily job?
Hello, I have a question, what kind of diode you have in the wiring ? Cause I’m making my 885 a new installation to, and I’m missing it , and it show in the electric draws that I need a diode and a resistor two add after the hydraulic light and goes to the charging light ! Thank you very goood video!!!
Steve, I have my dashboard removed (I only had to loosen and spin the steering column, I didn't need to remove the steering wheel). I can't seem to figure out if the light selector knob switch is secured by friction or by set screw. I see the small hole, but when I look inside with a torch, I can't make it out. What did you do to remove the switch?
Hi, that might indeed depend on your gastank fitting as that is where the dashboard connects to ( sits on). hahaha, push with a small pin into that hole and and pull the knob off... There is a small spring loaded pin inside the shaft
Thank you, very informative! I have one question. I was wondering if the gauges fluctuate with voltage changes (9:58)? On the battery we have around 12v, once the alternator starts charging the voltage rises to 14.5v, does that affect the readings, or the coil1 (permanent) actually compensate for that? I saw some schematics on the Internet that include voltage stabilizers before, but that is not always the case.
The higher voltages like 14.8v. Applies equally to both coils. So that is not an issue. Indeed some have voltage stabiliser, that is more for those with dynamo
Where did you order the wiring harness and gauges? I am replacing my gauges and found an entire set for about $30 US ( not the best quality as made in India). I did not find a harness.
@@D3Sshooter Thank for the additional source. I took a picture of a part on the tractor I haven't found what it is used for it is on the right side in front of the brake pedal and has a threaded rod which protrudes out about 4 " and has a housing with a zircon fitting on the top. Do you know this parts function?
Flemish , when do you open electronics channel. please notify us here. i know that electronics is one of the hardest subject on earth, but i want to try your lessons. just tell me does all the analoque fuel gauges works the same. or many are like this. you sound like you were there when they were manufacturing them BLOM MOSHITOA( SOUTH AFRICA)
Hi Flemish, today I want to ask you a technical question. the temperature sensor is screwed on the engine block , am I right? Then if that is the case we know in electrical that the resistivity of material is affected by temperature. The temperature sensor will reduce its resistance as the engine warms up and the current will flow in the metering device as you explained.My problem is that once the temperature increases on the engine block the current will have a problem of going to ground from the sensor. Remember one of the factors affecting the resistivity of material is temperature. As engine warms up the resistance of the sensor decrease but the resistance of the engine block increases. That contradicts one another. Hahahha I am challenging you Steve. Try to answer. I trust you Blom. south Africa
Hi MBS, that is all correct, but the resistance of the engine block ( ground) is so low that it doesn't matter... Measure it out once, at the engine block where the sensor sits ( NTC resistor) by placing the probe on the metal part of the sensor towards the minus of the battery... You will see that this is way below 1 Ohm.... so no issue at all... TXS
@UCAYbsBEwLLIeivzDsd4tdUQ I've been following your videos, but this one caught my eye especially when you showed us the electronics workbench... By any chance are you also an Ham Radio operator? If so, 73 de CT2IRJ Sal and thanks a lot once again for your videos.
