Driven many makes and models,doubled the hours in one day,11 to 22,in a 1390 hydra shift with a welgar baler!!Happy days.On future vids,ursus,universal were rubbish,zetors were good in their day.Wonder if SAME tractors interest you,they were summat different!👍 1 🚜🤔👍

The company I worked for had an 'S' reg DB1210 4wd, followed by a 'A' reg Case 1490 4wd, then a 'G' reg Case 995 4 wd. Reliable workhorses, and a good nearby dealer. (1 view)

(1) great video Alan, as u say there is serious amount of work goes into those types of videos. Uncle farmed with DB all his life and my grandfather traded in his new 35 for a 990 as he had a bad heart and the db rocked much less on the baler than the little 35. 👍

Nice one Alan Another very interesting and informative video. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to bring us this information (1)

1 do a Lamborghini video when the time comes

Thanks Alan, good info, they was a lot of David Brown's around cork, Atkins in the city used to sell them (2)

I enjoyed the video ✔️ Going on to 3k subscribers. Only 1.

Hi Alan, thanks for this video. I know you have a very full list of video's to do, so just do what you can, as and when! Sadly, I'm the only one (1) watching your video's, as I live alone, and am disabled and can't get out anyway. Look forward to whatever you decide to present next week, best wishes from UK.

my dad used to have a davidbrown 990 with 12 low gears 12 high gears and 4in revers

1 very in interesting video keep up the good work

Here in the States, the 1690 was known as one of the worst tractors Case ever put on the market. Case dealers were loathe to take them back on new trades as they had little value.

My dad bought a 25d brown pulled his brothers class bagger combined and sed the guts of the diesel surpassed the petrol power at the time

Really enjoyed the video. I am a david brown collector. .

Alan, sorry I've been meaning to add this comment for the past week!. 1 viewer.

Great video Alan why did they go with Four digit Model # for 1194 why not keep it as a 885. Looking forward to hearing more about Doncaster Factory and conflicts and cooperation between Meltham and Doncaster.

Used to have a 1394, 4wd Hydra-Shift. At the time, the 94 series had brilliant traction especially ploughing and driving in the snow. As standard was an adjustable high clearance rear axle. Hydra-Shift was a way ahead of it's time but slow on the road. Second to third gear took a while to select when cold. Some operators reversed the crank under the dashboard giving up changes towards the driver. Alternatively the whole lever was relocated to the right of the range lever. First gear always had to be selected once the clutch was depressed. Synchromesh gearboxes only had synchromesh between second and third gear. Sekura cabs were big and comfortable with large opening doors but visibility was not so good. Quite an interesting feature was a lever to the right of the driver to select tandem hydraulic pumps to double oil flow to the remotes. 4wd Front axle options were Carraro or ZF.

Thanks for another great video Alan, I'm really looking forward to the IH Worldwide video, sort of a predecessor to this one Greetings from Lincolnshire 🙂 (1)

I had a 1390 at one stage, very capable at the time. Just myself viewing. Thanks

I owned a 1980 1490 David Brown Case until 1986 equipped with the DB 4WD option, no cab & a Case66L loader here in Alberta. What a disaster this tractor was---should have been ditched in mid Atlantic rather than its final destination here! In roughly 4000hrs it was out of commission consistently to the point that the Serial number is permanently etched in my memory. You name any component on the tractor---it failed. Speaking to any 1690 owners---a similar experience. In 1986 this was replaced with a Ford4610, similarly equipped---what a breath of fresh air!

My favourite tractors of David brown were the red and black 1594 and 1694 + commemorative edition tractors

1×👀 another fine video Alan,i remember when David brown changed to Case there were a few white Case tractors around our area back in the early 80s,i have a Case ih 4230 as a second tractor so will be looking forward to the Case ih video, thanks Alan

Love the DBs! I have and still use a '69 880 that my father bought brand new! I do like Case but its unfortunate DB was bought out and painted white and orange. I did have a 1985 1494 DB/CaseIH.

Fab vid, just me watching, had a little red 1959 David Brown 850 for 3 years back in the 70s. Miss it today and still think of it every day!

Good vid, love to hear about the browns, ive a 996 which i learned to drive on, now with over 9400 hours and still going strong! (Just myself watching the video)

Great video , my grandfather had all David brown tractors and when I took over the family orchard I bought a new 1390 4wd and still use it. I still have the last David brown that my grandfather bought which was a 880 implematic 3 cylinder the plan is to restore it one day. In Australia the 90 series were marketed as Case tractors .
