robbo Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 well being a policeman that will be at 40 won't it mike, plenty of years left to have fun ;D ;D some kit there i must say, such a shame to see the implements just rust away though, eveyone restors tractors, but very few do the bits for the back, which is almost as important as the tractor really That's very nice of you to say so Sean but I am 51 already but only 22 months until I can retire ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Then into the shed One of two David Browns and the other which he told me was quite rare, sorry can't remember the model number though looks like it might be a 900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Starting with the DB 995 that first caught my eye quite rare to find a David Brown Case 995 with shell mudguards on as well Mike, those tractors have a lovely exhaust note :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Some nice finds there Mike. I particularly like the Nuffield which looks fairly straight. Oh and see those E27N's with those headlights folk would give an arm or a leg for a pair of those lights these days. So one tractor which make are you planning on purchasing in 22 months time ???

nashmach Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 looks like it might be a 900 Looks more like a 770 to me and I bet it is a red 770 Selectamatic - one of only 1831 built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Looks more like a 770 to me and I bet it is a red 770 Selectamatic - one of only 1831 built. i only sugested 990 as the front wheel looks to have a tinge of blue rather than yellow but that might be rust ,even at shows i don't see many 770's about colm but only ever seen 3 900's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
