  • This David Brown 996 has been sitting with 10 years, can I cut it out of the undergrowth and will it start?

    Fantastic ! I have never had any experience with David Brown but I have to say I am impressed with how sweet the old girl sounds !

    These old David Browns are good machines. My grandfather bought one from a local farmer several years ago when he retired his farm. It always started right up when needed and ran without issue. The only reason we no longer have it is because he sold it. It was a bit too big for what he needed and traded it toward the New Holland 1715 we still have now. People knock on some tractors for being basic or entry level but I personally think those are the best ones. Very little to worry about, cheap to fix, do the job and no computers to go bad. :)

      This is my first experience of them but everyone seems to swear by them. In fairness it fired right up. I've found a 990 that's been idle for decades, looking forward to seeing if that'll start. Thanks for watching 👍

    Nothing more rewarding than that sound of an old tractor comming to life !! I have had this experiance many many times now and everytime it happens I am like a kid with a new toy and so I should be because age means nothing being egg cited means everything the day you are not egg cited about something is the day you die !!!!!!!!!!!!!! My old ferguson industrial sounds like this every god dam time but never fails plenty plenty smoke plenty plenty noise and off she goes to do a hard days work even now !!!! These old tractors have kept me alive the smell the noise the smoke god how I love them !!!!!!!!!!!!

I know of maybe a handful here of owners i talk to be have seen at least 10-15 on the market place. These are mostly a Midwest tractor. There is one big place in Kentucky that part's these out but otherwise salvage yards here just don't have any so most of the time you have to travel more than 8 hours to get anyting or have it shipped with a extreme shipping price. For all of the filters also usually we need to order them from UK.

      Tractors have moved on a lot since those days! I grew up with a 1970 Ford 5000 and a '59 Dexta (that we still have). They were not built for comfort. One thing I'll say about the DB is cab access is dreadful. Then again all cabs were small then. Gotten too used to a flat floor and big doors! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Jim.
