Marty, she's a 1965 - 1968 early series Selectamatic she has a AD4/47 motor not a AD4/49 like your other 990. Common with these old girls is the rear oil seal which isn't a seal but a oil flinger and over time they get blow bye and push oil onto the clutch and oil inpregnant it and slip. Pull the dipstick and check for blow bye. Have genuine db workshop books on this tractor if you need and I can scan and email them to you
The fuel issue there is no fuel in tank! Tell these owners you normally get 500$ removal fee ( but) today is their lucky day if you can get running and drive onto trailer. Yesterday I couldn’t spell mechanic today i is a mechanic!!!!!🙂
Marty Daam, another DB 999 for $500 with a loader too. Gawd , and it started up, purred like a kitten. Those DBs were well made, you are one lucky guy:)
That is SO AWESOME, what a bargain of a machine for $500, I watched the cylinder straightening video prior to this one, my fault, my error, thanks for explaining the process in bleeding and cleaning fuel system filters and bleeding the system, I am very weak on diesel troubleshooting so I always as looking for anything to help bring my skills up a notch on the belt. Thanks for being REAL.... AWESOME smile on your face when this old girl LIT OFF....well DONE... Sending you greetings from TEXAS USA>
hi marty, im from norfolk uk. i can remember these old david browns, from my childhood in the 1960s/70s. they were everywhere, nearly every farm had one. your 990 was only sleeping, it just needed a nudge to jump back into life.
You must be from a different part of Norfolk to me! I remember nowt but Massey's and Fords. Coupla' poshos had John Deere's with fancy 6 cylinder engines...
My cousin,now in danniverke north island, always said he was a poor farmer, every else has mf or ford,I have David brown!! Done many an hour with a 990, good tractors in the day!!
Great find Marty, between me and my father-in-law we have a 780, 880 and a 995. He bought the 880 new in 72 and the 995 used about 25 years ago; I found the 780 20 years ago. These old DB’ are like the “Energizer Bunny” they just keep on going. 👍
He nonchalantly killed a poisonous spider lol. What I'm surprised about is he never seems to blow hydraulic lines on these old machines. My father bought a 50 year old backhoe/dozer, a small one, like 5000 pounds. Every time he used it he blew a hydraulic line until they were all replaced.
Marty you're a conservationist of the best sort. I was taught fix it if possible, repurpose it if needed, if all else fails part out what is salvageable and recycle the rest. My folks got married at the height of the great depression. They were appalled at our modern throw-a-way society. Hope you and yours are safe and healthy.
Hi Marty, was going to say your a jamy so and so but i wont..lol, Yes you made me smiles as much as you did when that old girl started up, and after its first bath began to look so much better.. Congratulations on your latest adventure you shared with us all. I just love seeing old forgotten bits of plant and machinery get going after sitting so long.Thanks again.. IAN - UK.
Great 500 bucks worth. David brown tractors are very popular with classic farm machinery collectors over here in the UK because of the Aston Martin connection. Got a mate with three of them. Great watching you bring her back to life!
Your wife must literally have the patience of a saint! Love these videos, ingenuity and a practical approach to problem solving. Fantastic stuff, love it thank you for letting us into your amazing world Marty!😁😁😁
In a word, BRILLIANT! Well done making the old girl talk. Another win for the Kiwi. Just a suggestion, put some wood on the angle iron before you press that ram into submission. Great job, thanks for sharing.
Good find. We recently picked up a Case DB 990. With a dedicated fork fitted to it. I replaced the fuel filters and cleaned the sediment bowl and runs very nice. Your previous db video was extremely informative on changing the other filters and oil levels. Thanks. We laughed reading your blurb about your missus and enough tractors. My wife said, sounds like me and my cast iron cooking pots...
@@MartyT I thought you said that this one seemed in better state, more working parts than your first DB, I guess it's a huge amount of work/time either way. Btw, thanks for the tip about topping up on the hydraulic oil, the hydraulics on my Ford 3600 have not been working that well and thanks very much for the anti rust recipe (diesel/oil spray), have been spraying liberally on my tractor, car wheel hubs and other, look forward to any update video on the DBs. Your punt turned out really well!
@@markflajsner9944 Yes but I wasn't sure of the state of the engine or g/b, for all I know it could have been seized. . Glad you found the rust prevention tip helpful. It makes sense when you think about it, wherever there is an oil leak in a machine, under the old oil is always well preserved due to lack of oxygen. Cheers
Well done Marty! Terrific to hear her running again and as you say, she does indeed sound mint. We had that same model David Brown 990 and it could pull loads that other makes of higher horse power tractors couldn't - an absolutely brilliant tractor, as indeed all the Browns were.
It’s amazing how there are some people out there with stuff like this, they might tinker with the problem then lose interest and just let it sit then eventually get rid of when all it was to run was a simple cleaning and checking filters. I’ve gotten a couple of lawn tractors and mowers that people say they don’t run....cleaned the carb, fresh fuel and runs like new. Love these videos!
My Dad bought 1 of those for $500. Put a new piston in it. We ran it for 5 or 6 years. Sold it to a neighbor for $1200 and it's still running just fine.
Brother great catch on the david brown, I must say, I Love your channel and could watch you work your magic all day long, it is a pleasure to see you in action and the joy of watching old machines come back to life, thank you for sharing your stories and life.
Thank you again Marty. I don't find old tractors but I do find super deals on tools and other equipment. It makes it all that more enjoyable when your using the stuff. Have a wonderful day.
Elderly woman here, watching from USA. No idea how this channel came to my feed, given that I know absolutely nothing about motors, machinery, or anything electric, but I find channel strangely fascinating. I have no idea what you are doing, so really appreciate your thinking out loud as you analyze the problem and explain what you are doing. I have added gearbox, hydraulic, and air filter to my vocabulary. LOL I would really like to know what you are going to do with all these resurrected machines. Do you sell any of them? Looks like you keep them lined up under protected coverings. How many will you collect? Do you make your living with your mechanic skills? BTW, loved the hats your mom knitted from Rambro's hair!
by the way.. a TIP for starters on equipment that have sat a long time.. short the solenoid top to bottom post.. this spins the armature and does the commutator a nice cleaning without load.. don't let if freewheel spin under power for long.. just touch and let it spindown.. touch and let it spin down.. no use exploding the armature with excessive speed. and the spin down without electrons jumping the brushes is really a good way to clean the surfaces..
On the hydraulic rams with rust, instead of using sand paper try to obtain a product called Scotch Brite, it comes in different colors which indicates the coarse to fine cutting action, personally have used it in the aerospace industry, contains no silicone
My favourite Kiwi! Always a pleasure to watch Marty...don 't worry about the cook , buy her some flowers with the money you've saved..LOL. Cheers Gregg.
Ah, this brings back memories from my childhood at my uncle's farm in the late 70s. He only bought David Browns. If my memory serves me well (it might not 😊) I think he had two 880 selectamatics, and a 990 with cab and power steering. A few years later he entered the 4WD world with a 1490. Thanks for putting up these videos, Marty T. It is always a pleasure to watch them.
David brown is the best tractor made in my opinion. I have a 71 990 I got for $800 sat many years was listed on the web as "diesel engine" I asked why and he said the tractor was junk because the power steering and hydraulics didn't work. I flushed all the fluids and replaced the filters, painted it, tires, rebuilt steering ram, did some electrical work, cleaned fuel system and it's just a unstoppable little tractor. Next I'm going to pull my injection pump as I'm getting some fuel in my oil and its not from the fuel transfer pump
Was up in Nelson visiting my kids as saw this red ute with old David Brown on the back. Though to myself - bet that's Marty and there is another video coming. Awesome!
Marty, I have been watching you for a while. I live in Central Florida in the USA. You make me want to go out and get a tractor. I have no idea what I would do with it because I do not have the land for it but I am amazed what you do. Please keep making the videos!
Saw a new video When I came home from town. Here's Marty T With another David Brown. Mrs. T's not too happy About this new piece of crap. It better be good Or Marty T will earn a slap. A little bit of love And she cranked right up. Marty rode around the lot. Did this all before sup. Looks like the beast Is money well spent, Keep watching Marty T For more DBrown content. Nice job Marty. From blazing hot Texas, thanks for the fun. :-)
Another good find Marty , nice easy fix little water in the fuel , quick clean up and off it goes . . Top fella . Keep all the old finds coming . You be able to start an old classics plant sales soon . . Great to see all the old stuff finding its way into good hands . 👌👍👍. .
When I first read that you bought another tractor 🚜 I thought you needed it like a hole in your head, but what a score, your a clever bugger Marty and just sitting back watching you play around with machinery is a pleasure to see, I bet the previous owner has watched this and is now spitting sparks and wishes he kept it😅😅 can't wait to see the next installment, cheers Marty from Marlburian living abroad. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks man, a lot of people can't be bothered with old tractors when they start giving trouble so they just flick them off and buy a new one, I prefer the old ones for some reason
@@MartyT Couldn't agree more. Our 885 was getting tired a few years ago, so we went and bought....another one. Got it fully rebuilt to as new (give or take the aesthetics), then sent in our original for the same treatment. Now we have two, which makes life much easier. New tractor? Never really considered it.
Very good and congrats on your mechanical ability and God's grace. Your USA friend Ron and friend of Chuck Missler a departed friend from New Zealand and USA. Hi to the Missus.
I'd definitely say Bargain! 👍 David Browns are good tractors, we have quite a few of them here in the states mostly 70s models, like this one. They just need a little love and they'll run for decades. Congrats on your new acquisition Marty!
Lucky you! Man that was worth every bit you paid! It's very exciting to find a nice tractor that needs a little tlc! Waiting for next David Brown video!
I have an old Agria 9900E and had issues where it kept running out of fuel, turns out the in tank filter had fallen to bits and chunks of rust were blocking the fuel lines. Runs like a beast now.
Great video Marty really enjoyed it, just love New Zealand,, spent a good few months there in the last 2 years and we really miss it. Got to be one of the best places in the world so your videos just take us back thanks.
This Chanel deserves more than 240k subscribers

Man im addicted to ur videos. They r so relaxing. Keep up the good work
I just can't get enough of your videos
I’m not mechanically inclined but your videos have inspired me to do more. I really like the way you slowly and methodically go over everything.
The smile on your face when it starts... “I took a calculated risk and it looks like paying off. Yes!!” Great job.
Your laugh reminded me of Mustie1.
That was my favorite part too!
I admire your hardworking spirit and that environment is awesome.
They way you got off the trailer was awesome. Prolly had a slight pucker going on after that😂😂😂😂
Full pucker
Another lucky tractor that found a good home, looked like really nice rear tires, that’s a plus too
One of the rear tyres looks reasonably unworn but the other is just okay.
The ad at the start said one near new tyre and one about 50%
A tip with degraded rams Marty, fine emery tape and diesel applied to the shafts brings them back if they have it in them!
Marty, she's a 1965 - 1968 early series Selectamatic she has a AD4/47 motor not a AD4/49 like your other 990. Common with these old girls is the rear oil seal which isn't a seal but a oil flinger and over time they get blow bye and push oil onto the clutch and oil inpregnant it and slip.

Dont think thats a selectamatic sir
@@atv950 she is I have the same tractor. Have videos up cutting and baling with her.
Said selectamatic on the side
You can also clearly see the the Selectamatic single lever control and dial selector
Thanks for the info mate, I found the manual free online, pretty sure it covers this model
The fuel issue there is no fuel in tank! Tell these owners you normally get 500$ removal fee ( but) today is their lucky day if you can get running and drive onto trailer. Yesterday I couldn’t spell mechanic today i is a mechanic!!!!!🙂

Sounds good you find a lot of deals on tractors it's nice that you find the ones that people neglect and don't bother doing any maintenance on

Thanks for being REAL.... AWESOME smile on your face when this old girl LIT OFF....well DONE... Sending you greetings from TEXAS USA>
Thanks mate. Quite often you can find the workshop manual for these old machines for free online, they show all the bleed points
i always love seeing old machinery roar back into life! Thanks Marty

I love watching you bring these old machines back to life.
12:08 never seen Marty so joyful on a tractor fix, defying the odds, persevered and won...fantastic!

From a fan in Massachusetts. You've got the luck........ and the skills. Great combination!! Great find, Great job!

Ah, this brings back memories from my childhood at my uncle's farm in the late 70s. He only bought David Browns. If my memory serves me well (it might not 😊) I think he had two 880 selectamatics, and a 990 with cab and power steering. A few years later he entered the 4WD world with a 1490.

Great job Marty, looks like you have a new toy. Thanks for sharing.
That was far easier of a start than I was expecting. The new tire on that thing is worth what you paid for the entire machine!
David brown is the best tractor made in my opinion.

Sweet another David Brown. Cool ol machines.
Was up in Nelson visiting my kids as saw this red ute with old David Brown on the back. Though to myself - bet that's Marty and there is another video coming. Awesome!
Haha wave next time
What a great find. $500 for a running working tractor. Here in Canada that is a $2500 - $3000 tracctor.
I was iffy on it when I first saw the looks of it, but I figured if anyone could breath life back into her, it would be you. I wasn't disappointed.
I have 4 David Brown 885s. You did good for 500.
Marty, a man can never have “enough” tractors. Unless the misses is threatening divorce. Cheers.
When asked if you need another tractor? reply with do really need another pair of shoes?
help her pack (say BYE), keep the tractors.
I've got 5 tractors now, no complaints, just need to build another shoe rack
Trick is "gift" her with it...
That one I like, will use it on the next purchase
