900 (1956-1958)

The 900 was available with four alternative engines: diesel - 40 bhp; TVO (kerosine) - 37 bhp; petrol (gasoline) - 40 bhp: and high compression petrol (gasoline) - 45 bhp. The diesel model pioneered the use of the now familiar distributor type fuel injection pump and also featured dual category linkage with the David Brown patented swivelling ball type top link and detachable bonnet (hood).

In 1957 the 900 Livedrive was introduced, the first David Brown model with a dual clutch giving live hydraulics and live PTO.
