At last someone on you tube who understands the British & European tractors, My old boss who was a agricultural contractor back in the 1950 and retired early 2000, Started with David Brown and fordson majors when the first super major ford 5000 was available, The ford 5000 was the main stay of the agricultural contracting from the early 1960’s, Fantastic programme and a pleasure to watch 🇮🇪
I don't have any of your cars/tractors but enjoy your videos very much. Always something of interest. I've spent a lot of money over the years on various felt tipped pens like Sharpies, Staedtler, Edding etc. A friend in the US told me I should try Milwaukee pens. They last a long time on metal, concrete !!! etc. I found the very large and fine sizes in Germany. I'm still looking for the medium size tip.
Your tractor Will be so beautyfull now . I think its good that you do Some work to her so your vintage tractor can last Many years and so a Lot off work for you at your house . I like your tractor wery much . 😊👍🚜 Nice work you do 👍👍I do my Self a massey ferguson 65 reighte now here in norway . Thanks for your video's. Michell Norway 👍😊🚜🚜
I can see it now...a set of mud flaps and stainless girlie silhouettes,chrome tip on the muffler, some pointy chrome lug nut covers, drink holder, and you will be talking turbo charging soon... LOL Great to see respect and attention to elderly tractor. She will be the hit of the Christmas tractor parade! And those fries!
Love your vid and appreciate the effort you put into editing and scene setting, thanks. Also learning a lot as I’ve just purchased a earlier model 990 myself.
For anyone doing a full restoration - on tractors, or other machines - there are people and companies that can reproduce those metal (or even stick-on) tags EXACTLY! I'm not sure if Steve is going to go that far, but it is an option if you want it done perfectly!

Great series on the DB990 restoration as well as your other videos I have seen, thanks for keeping the videos real with real world issues and problem solving
Nice work and thanks for showing in detail the patching. David brown's were very popular in my area as there was a dealer just up the road. From Ireland.
Hi Steve, another great video, I don’t know about Belgian mot rules but here in the U.K. the indicator/blinker light should be to the outside of the fender
@@D3Sshooter I just mentioned it because I seen it on the video and the indicator/blinker was to the inside of the fender when you held it up, I was just wondering about it because you had to drill a hole for your wiring. Keep up the great work
@@richardfitzgerald that was well spotted Richard. But it is no issue as the lights are symmetrical so I can feed the cables with any problem// but good observation. TXS
The "reduction 9/50" is likely to be the ratio of the reduction gears at the ends of the axle. There were different ratios for different wheel sizes and also for faster road speeds.
In my country, where there is so much vehicle theft (amongst other thefts), it is wise to check, when buying a second hand vehicle, if all the numbers correspond, as the cops can confiscate the vehicle if they don't. The thieves sometimes swap out engines, etc to be able to sell the vehicle. I can see you are still old school - the younger guys would have used a block and tackle to take off the bonnet and fenders!!
@@D3Sshooter Hi Steve. Yes we’re all in good health thanks. Hopefully your all well too? Looking forward to the lockdown being eased after Monday 😂 Our wedding plans are in place for July the 20th where hoping for a trip to our Casa in Spain 🇪🇸 for our honeymoon 🤔 But I can’t see that happening though 🥲 So I can see it being in the U.K. but the prices have escalated as the U.K. opens up. Over 2k for two weeks in the Devon/Cornwall. But the weather I’ll be rubbish 🙄 Looking at Antwerp for a long weekend in December 👍🏻 Fantastic videos as always Steve. Take care until the next video especially Red Rusty lol 😆 Cheers Stevie 😎🏴
Your videos get more interesting from episode to episode. I can't wait to see what the tractor will look like 😍😍. Additionally, as others have mentioned, you should be a teacher. You can really pass on knowledge to others, and you can motivate 👍.
Dit lyk baie baie goed en mooi sovêr o ja en dankie vir die honger maak met U bunny chow 👍🏻 It looks very good sofar and yes thank you for making me hungry with your bunnychow.
Schitterend ! Alleen op het einde was ik toch wat geschrokken... (Belgian) French fries.... !!! Ik loop al jaar en dag te verkondigen dat er French fries niet bestaan ! Het zijn enkel Belgian Fries, die Fransen hebben dat ten onrechte ingepikt. Er zit daar een geschiedenis achter en we mogen met trots zeggen dat ze Belgisch zijn. Allez bon, ge kunt u nog herpakken... ;-)
Hello, i have a 990 selectamatic. The lifting arms Are just going to top when the tractor starts, have you ever heard about that problem? Greetings from Norway.
Yes, that is an issue with the hydraulic control and the valves. Off course I assume that the mode is set right... Have a look on the other video's on the DB on my channel, there are several about the hydraulics system on how it works and what can be checked
cheers Steve, I'm in the middle of a 990 restoration myself, where do you get your parts as DB's aren't as readily available as MF, I like it when people hit problems as it's always good to learn form others how to solve them
Hoi Steve, dat kun je niet maken! Een Frikandel eten! Weet je hoe schaars die zijn hier in Frankrijk? Kijkermishandeling! Nee, smakelijk eten en veel plezier met de DB.
Never heard of a vehicle inspection on a tractor. Nothing like that here in the states……… I always get a kick out of people thinking that WD40 is a penetrating oil. It is actually a water displacing lubricant. Which is what the WD stands for. Legend says that the 40 signifies that it was the 40th version of the formula. Don’t know how much truth there is to that tho….
In the EU DOT rules are very different to the USA ones. Sometimes it is better,sometimes worse. Less freedom but also less chance off having a accident because somebody was on the road with a vehicle that shouldn't have been on the road.
@@daf106brugge4 , That is true, but its also over the top.... to much is to much regulation and that is the issue we have here in Belgium.... rules and rules and rules... often silly and stupid...

Thank you
Nice work on that tractors Fender! 👍

Great series. Hello from Illinois!
Hey, thanks! Illinois welcome
Restoring my late grandfather's 1390, thanks for the information ✌
Very cool!
You do a great job, fixing, filming and explaining. Really enjoy watching your videos👍👍
Awesome, thank you!
Great job! When finished, the tractor can be used to straighten the border between France and Belgium😉
That's true! Thanks for the comments,

Nice work and thanks for showing in detail the patching. David brown's were very popular in my area as there was a dealer just up the road. From Ireland.
Thanks for sharing
what you could try is a weld through primer on the undersides of your panels that way at least they have some protection.
Yes indeed , but lucky me I can spray them from the back
Hi Steve, another great video, I don’t know about Belgian mot rules but here in the U.K. the indicator/blinker light should be to the outside of the fender

Silver Sharpies work good for that kind of markings.

Beautiful, I have the same tractor. Mine is in worse shape than yours. Hope to start my rebuild in the not to distant future. Robin
Good luck! and they are worth it...
Great vid. Little by little you ground down everything and did it properly. Hope this helps your English as you like to do things right
Thanks for the tips!

I'm glad to see you're painting the underside of the fenders. What about the bonnet? How's the Massey Ferguson?
That will be the same coating
Very neat. What is that protective coating product you used on the inside of the fender?
Its a quick drying antirust semi elastic undercoating....Soudal

Thanks for the comments, Good to hear, I by most parts at Histoparts in the Nederlands
the bolt that broke off next time try heating it up the hotter the better
Thanks for the comments, I did try that ... you still see some marks on the fender . No such luck
When will we see old rusty being finished plus work on the 1920's Peugeot?
They are on the list to do,,,, but this had priority as I need it for work on the farm ( although none active farm)
Hi do you have to do mot every year Not in ireland yet keep up the good work
Thanks for the comments, yes If you want to use the tractor on the roads. Its silly but that is the regulation
Mosselen met frietjes de volgende keer!
