Gav836 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'd rebuild the lot of them, there's not enough attention paid to DB's like the other brands, they need preserving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 What is the reg on the 996? It looks familiar. (those 30" rears weren't too common round these parts) Burnt out clutch on a 996! I did that once, but we won't talk about it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brown 1410 power! Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 I dont know the reg of hand SPN but there's a dealer sticker in the cab i think it was supplied new from a killkenny dealer! Did i mention also i found out only recently that my conection to David Brown tractors does not only come from my familys use of them from back as far as the 50's a relative of mine richard gregan was a sale's reprezentitive for David Brown tractors LTD Ireland so now i can see i have really strong connection to the brand.

SPN Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Barlo's of Kilkenny. The one I'm thinking of probably came from the dealer in New Ross. (Was replaced by a 4610 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert in NY Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Fix her up. My ex's family had a 990 and I was hoping to get that tractor but when we split her family kept the tractor. I expect it will be dead before long with the care it has received The tractor was in very, very rough shape (it made yours look nice), my ex's dad was almost completely blind as a result of a brain tumor but he had a dairy farm to run and he had to do most of the work so the tractor was ran into things quite often (mostly when it got close to dark then he was completly blind). I worked on that tractor some fixing some problem areas but I couldn't just go to town on it because they needed it to spread manure every other day. I do miss that tractor as they are unique. Fix yours up and keep them protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
