David Brown Tractor Forum

Your case dealer might or might not have some parts , they should be able to get some , but will likely be expensive . I use David Brown parts ltd in England Peter is very obliging and knowledegable and their parts are really good ,some of the other after market stuff out there is rubbish. if you go...

Maybe a faulty exhaust pipe.try a length of straight pipe to see what happens .

Hitching a trailer that far back is dangerous as the tractor could rear up and capsize causing serious injury or even death. a trailer should only be hitched to the tractor drawbar and the drawbar should be be the forward position , the rearward position is usually only used for PTO driven implement...

Just fired up a couple of my Croppies after their winter rest, had to do a few paint touch-ups. I use a pipe cleaner [the smokers type not the drain type] they can be bought at most craft shops , they work really well and when finished just cut off the used bit , no cleaning up.

DB parts list a straight through exhaust for turboed engines so I assume they must have been origanly fitted by DB.

A lot of turboed engines had a straight though exhaust pipe, I dont know if your 90 series is turbo or not, I also know some people that put a crowbar straight trough the exhaust pipe said it gave the tractor more power?

How do you retrieve the angle iron when it has hit you in the shin and crippled you for 2 months. between that and corona virus restrictions you will have a nice long stay in bed.

Sand blasting is the only way to clean wheel rims properly . I get a local guy to do mine and he primes and paints them immediately afterwards in a proper spray booth. maybe not cheap but an excellent job. cheap and good value very seldom are partners.

When I restored my 30D I had to have new copper sleeves made {expensive] I did not use any washers , it runs very good and no smoke, Maybe the reason for the smoke is the injectors are not the right distance from the piston when firing, I will check my workshop book when I get a chance ,

The vacuum switch for the hyd filter is no longer available at least I cannot find them, I think you dash is correct I thought the 3 warning lamps did not come in until the colour was changed to orange.

DB traditonally used a 7/8" pin with a lynch clip to attach the lower link arm,I have used a pin with a nut and bolt that is bolted tight on the bracket with the lynch pin holding on the arm and it works better although not original, you have to be really looking to notice . these are readily availa...

David brown parts worldwide should have a complete seal kit for that pump.

If you had the pump apart would it be possible you put it back together wrong , maybe the drive gear and idler in the pump should be reversed,
just a thought I haven't had one of these off in years.

And from Canada happy and peaceful Christmas and prosperous new year.
