Thank you for your restoration videos Barry. This is exactly what I am working on in my Selectamatic David Brown tractor, after the Spool valve seized up from sitting unused with the lift arms down. The Spool valve was stuck up with milky oil that rusted it in place. I'll be taking it apart to clean and resemble it properly.
Another great vid Barry, you make every one a learning aid, good of you to tell the non-engineers about the lead in on a parallel reamer, hope you have fully recovered from covid.
Hi Ken, not quite fully recovered but around the 80% mark, still get out of breath very quickly and the fatigue is rediculous, the number of times we've come back from simple things, even shopping at Asda and you fall asleep on the sofa. However many thanks for the kind words and your support very much appreciated Barry
Fantastic illustration of the valve block setup, thank you Barry, seeing this as opposed to just looking at the manuals/descriptions is so much more useful, thanks for talking through to this who aren't from an engineering background. It is worth searching the DB Forum for service manuals, there is someone kindly hosting copies of all the original service manuals, which are far more in depth than the I&T manual. Regards, Martin
Thanks very much mate , I could not get my head round setting this at all by reading that book , I,ve just watched your video & got it in one , it also shows up what is quite possibly wrong with my linkage lowering speed ( incredibly slow , hot or cold oil ) , the shim pack under the plate needs re - appraising as you have clearly done , as , not only may the spool valve travel setting on it,s locknuts be just wrong , the clearance between the actuator lever & the end of the spool valve is just as critical . Many Thanks mate . You,re the master at this , you lead the pack .
Good video Barry, see you got a pair of bent circlip pliers. You will get a few mentions as the man from the mist in an up and coming video of mine. 😀M
Hi Adam, on the mend, as I say to Ken tiredness is unreal. The silliest things make it hard to breath. but hopefully another week and we'll be there. many thanks for your support Barry
Watching the master class on setting up valve chest(you). Around 13.30min you tap the outside dowel home. Did you notice the open hole in front of it? It's for a detend onto the cross shaft. Bearing spring and dowel to hold it all in. It is in the manual but you have to look close to see it. M😀
Hi Marshall, does yours have a dowel to keep everything in place? the shaft keep everything in place on mine, you place the spring and ball down the hole and put the shaft in with the flat down and rotate to easy entery, if you have a look at #6 rebuilding the hydraulic selector at 11-30mins you see me put the bits together cheers Barry
@@manfromthemist1958 Sent you an email with photo. Shaft has to line up with roll pin in plastic forks.I would think you will have metal forks on your model. It has a screwdriver slot in one end that lets you turn in place. M
Thank you for these videos. I am currently rebuilding my valve chest for an 885 in Alabama, U.S. I struggled for the last few months until I found your videos. One question, my lowering valve needle is curved instead of pointed, almost like it was crushed in. Is this normal? I cannot find pictures anywhere and the book is hard to see the end of needle. Thanks again.
Hi Jason, the end of the needle valve should be straight, could you please take a picture of it and send to my email address, which you'll find in the about section of my home page many thanks Barry
Hi David, I believe you can pick them up from ebay from time to time, there not difficult to make just fiddly and very time consuming, as with all gauges the work is in the setting out, but with minimal tools you can easly make one. many thanks for your support Barry
Hi Jose, it already exist if you go to Path of Discovery channel, shane Bush watch his latest video he tells you where to obtain just such a stencil, or if you prefer go to my community tab and have a look at the gauges, I just printed off. many thanks Barry
Hi joran, my honest advice to you would be, go on FB search David Brown Tractor group and join most of the manuals you'll need are there and are free, ( the real manuals) I bought my I and T manual(haynes type) from agriline in the UK it has it's limitations lets know how you get on many thanks for your support Barry
@@55drakula Hi George, check your fuel supply, filters, pump pressure, does it have any fuel leaks? compression on all four cylinders, electrical connection to starter and to earth if it's sounding slow at turning, heater glow plug if it's got one. without hearing it trying to start it could be some or all of the above, why not take a video of you starting it and post it to your channel so we can see and hear it.it may help. many thanks Barry
