- In this video we continue with the electrical system of the David Brown. Checking and verifying the gauges and sensors , alternator and removing all the cabling from the dashboard...
I'm not sure if you're a professor, a genius, or just a renaissance man. But, you're one of those for sure. Your ability to simplify and explain the complex is a real talent. Thanks for taking the time to create your videos.
Thanks for the comments, I am just a simple minded person, I hate bullshit and attitudes and even more managerial nonsens . So I guess I am old school.... TXS pal
@@D3Sshooter you lie. you must be something above. i also use to wonder where this old man gets all these
i actually designated you lord
@@D3Sshooter what was your profession? How do you know all this stuff lol - you must have been a mechanic or something. I am a retired veterinarian and trying to rehabitilate my 3 David Brown tractors and your videos are very helpful and I share your mindset of buying old things cheaply and making them new again- much better than buying new stuff!
I am amazed with CZcams and more so with you sir. I have a 1974 David Brown 990, and I need to rewire everything. Now here is a guy doing exactly that on a tractor just like mine. And...the guy is very good at explaining it! No extra ego, no shaky camera-work.
I commend you and thank you.
Thank you for the nice comments , and more is to come
Nice to meet you, this is my first comment from Japan.
I have a David brown 880 Implematic with front bucket.
I got one and am using it to clear snow.
The only thing I can do about cars is change the oil.
My David brown can also be cured in many ways.
It's very helpful,
thank you.
All these years and I've never really considered how an alternator works. What a brilliant explanation Steve, thank you, I've learned something there. This series is a bit special to me, a DB 990 was the first vehicle I ever drove as a ten year old, you're bringing it all back!
Glad you enjoyed it
Super. The mystique behind electrical circuits is no more. Well explained!
Glad you liked it
Really excellent videos Steve, I have a 1968 Jensen Mk1 that I've restored, your explanation of the of the electrical systems tacho, fuel gauges, alternator etc with diagrams and practical demonstrations are superb, I’ve learnt a great deal from you - thank you.
I’m in the process of restoring a DB 996. I cannot tell you how much help you have been to me. Saying thank you hardly seems enough - but thank you…
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comments
I love your films Steve always interesting I am an ex tractor mechanic and am restoring a 1964 military Land Rover and even at my age I pick up interesting tips from you. Excellent and keep safe.
Thanks for the comments Chris... So that Landy is a SII or SI ?
Hi Steve it’s a 2A lwb I have totally stripped it, I have just rebuilt the petrol engine and I am now doing a Diesel engine I had to sell on so the money can go in my chassis fund, the chassis is being a military special quite expensive, my chassis is totally rotten
Congratulations for all your videos on David Brown 990 (I own a selectamatic). This is exactly what I need to maintain my tractor. Your explanations are really clear and the quality of images and sound is perfect. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
May I also Thankyou for your brilliant explanation in the db990 series, I will continue to follow and learn more about my own 1966 tractor , Thankyou 👍
Thanks for the comments
always enjoy watching you bring old machines back to life :) Been an inspiration for me on several of my projects already, Update for you My series 3 land Rover is nearing the day :) Waiting to rebuild the 200tdi now is all the rest is pretty much done
Great to hear!
Great explanations.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!! You’ve armed me with the knowledge I need to have a go at the fuel gauges on my sailboat! 😊😊
Thanks for the comments
I really liked the explanations on this one. Nice
Glad you liked it!
Your usual high quality video,s , just a point in case you didn,t cover it , ( I haven,t watched it all yet so I apologise if you have ) , all electro - magnetic flasher units work better if mounted vertically , with the wires right at the bottom , you get a fuller , healthier "click" to it,s pulse , just a tip I learnt at college , thanks guys , watch the master !
Indeed, good point
Thank you so much. I am doing the exact same thing to my DB 995. The quality and clarity of your videos are brilliant, I understand so much more about what I am trying to achieve. Please keep doing what you do, I will be watching your great work.
Awesome, thank you!
Hi Steve.excellent simple explanation on homes thing’s work 👍🏻 it was like being in a classroom hehe 🤣 Have lovely weekend cheers Stevie 😎🏴
Glad you enjoyed it
Finally someone that can explain how an alternator works!! Thanks for the lesson! I have an 885 and a 995 with electrical problems...not any more though! Thanks again!
Glad it helped
Heerlijk entertainment op vrijdag morgen. Het is puur genieten om al je gereedschappen/apparatuur/workshop te zien.
IDD Genieten
Bedankt Philip
Bedankt
Excellent as always. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
That was very informative, thank you, it will help me with my Ford rewiring project next winter. Looking forward to the rest of your DB rewiring.
Happy I could help
Just found this video series and through it your channel. Loving this resto, looking forward to seeing all the other amazing playlists on your channel!
Thanks for the comments
Excellent videos !!!
Thanks for the comments
Fantastic! I’m learning a lot about my 990, thank you
Great to hear!
Glad I've found your videos. Nice old tractor, I saw one like this a couple of days ago
Thanks 👍
@@D3Sshooter You've encouraged me to sort out the mess with the instrument panel in my tractor
Nice one Steve, Well explained and a good production
Thank you kindly
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us ! My dad and I just bought a 995 in Canada and your videos are so great ! Cheers
Good to hear, enjoy
Goed uitgelegd,
Leuk om te zien .
Thank you
Heel duidelijk uitgelegd, en de montage van je video’s is echt heel goed geworden. Pro!
Bedankt
Good information for common repairs.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you again for the video. Some safety lessons included. That's the way.
Thanks for the comments
Excellent ! Thank you.
I will be referring to this for sure.
Please do!
im looking for so many time for this to repair the electrical of my old renault tractor my self , u just can find this information nowhere !! god bless u my friend ! probably the best tractor youtuber ! ( love if u hade any repairs to Renault 70s tractor done pls upload ! )
Glad I could help, just pass me a mail and I will see what I can do for your Tractor on the gauges.... steve@flashsplash.be
Thanks for the clear explanation!
My pleasure
Thuu is a is pure gold. I have a 990 that I plan on doing up a little. None of the gauges work, but they will soon thanks
Thanks for the comments, and yes do so
With 3 990"s i''m in heaven!!!!
such a good video thanks for making it
Glad you liked it!
Thank you hopefully yes see you soon
I hope so too
I too want to thank you for taking the time to explain what others just brush over. Are you going to show the repair of the gas gauge?
yes, that is part of the video that will come out when we install the new cabling..
Very interesting Thank you
Very welcome
I remember the 'Bleeding Knuckles' all too well.
indeed
Was hoping to see an ammeter gauge explanation as well 😁
Sorry , but this tractor does not have one...maybe later
Hello, I have a question, what kind of diode you have in the wiring ? Cause I’m making my 885 a new installation to, and I’m missing it , and it show in the electric draws that I need a diode and a resistor two add after the hydraulic light and goes to the charging light ! Thank you very goood video!!!
Its standard diode 1N4001, very low cost
@@D3Sshooter thank you ver much!
Lucas......The Prince of Darkness.....well electrically speaking that is.
👍👍
very nice vid but i want you to adopt me I'm 81 and I've never seen someone with so many toys and amazing you can use them all thanks
Thank you for the nice comments, adopted...
Good one.
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant as always.
Steve (if i can call you by your first name) photography-mechanic-painter-electrician if you mind me asking...what was/is your daily job?
Thanks for the comments, my daily job is a solutions architect in IT
Now You have to install New wires and it will work fine😎👍
That's the plan!
Steve,
I have my dashboard removed (I only had to loosen and spin the steering column, I didn't need to remove the steering wheel). I can't seem to figure out if the light selector knob switch is secured by friction or by set screw. I see the small hole, but when I look inside with a torch, I can't make it out. What did you do to remove the switch?
Hi, that might indeed depend on your gastank fitting as that is where the dashboard connects to ( sits on). hahaha, push with a small pin into that hole and and pull the knob off... There is a small spring loaded pin inside the shaft
Thank you, very informative! I have one question. I was wondering if the gauges fluctuate with voltage changes (9:58)? On the battery we have around 12v, once the alternator starts charging the voltage rises to 14.5v, does that affect the readings, or the coil1 (permanent) actually compensate for that? I saw some schematics on the Internet that include voltage stabilizers before, but that is not always the case.
The higher voltages like 14.8v. Applies equally to both coils. So that is not an issue. Indeed some have voltage stabiliser, that is more for those with dynamo
Where did you purchase the side-mounted fuel sender (Part K916635)? Cannot find one anywhere.
histoparts in the Nederlands they have a webshop
Where did you order the wiring harness and gauges? I am replacing my gauges and found an entire set for about $30 US ( not the best quality as made in India). I did not find a harness.
Thanks for the comments, Histoparts in the Nederlands..
@@D3Sshooter Thank for the additional source. I took a picture of a part on the tractor I haven't found what it is used for it is on the right side in front of the brake pedal and has a threaded rod which protrudes out about 4 " and has a housing with a zircon fitting on the top. Do you know this parts function?
v nice
What type of seat do you use onn the david brown? I see it is form Granit Parts
Yes it is, its weight adjustable
Hi Flemish, today I want to ask you a technical question. the temperature sensor is screwed on the engine block , am I right? Then if that is the case we know in electrical that the resistivity of material is affected by temperature. The temperature sensor will reduce its resistance as the engine warms up and the current will flow in the metering device as you explained.My problem is that once the temperature increases on the engine block the current will have a problem of going to ground from the sensor. Remember one of the factors affecting the resistivity of material is temperature.
As engine warms up the resistance of the sensor decrease but the resistance of the engine block increases. That contradicts one another.
Hahahha I am challenging you Steve. Try to answer. I trust you

Hi MBS, that is all correct, but the resistance of the engine block ( ground) is so low that it doesn't matter... Measure it out once, at the engine block where the sensor sits ( NTC resistor) by placing the probe on the metal part of the sensor towards the minus of the battery... You will see that this is way below 1 Ohm.... so no issue at all... TXS
Hello
Im french.. excuse me for my English but the 2 sd light vaccum ? What is it ?
Thk bye
Does the tach cable just pull out? I got it unscrewed but it's stuck in there. I can't find an answer to this!
How do connect tachometer cable to the alternator
I will need to check that ...
Good jop
Thanks for the comments
@@D3Sshooter Wal come sir ji
Flemish , when do you open electronics channel. please notify us here. i know that electronics is one of the hardest subject on earth, but i want to try your lessons.
just tell me does all the analoque fuel gauges works the same. or many are like this.
you sound like you were there when they were manufacturing them

Hi, I will.... Most older gauges work on that principle... Not the modern versions.

A great tractor
@UCAYbsBEwLLIeivzDsd4tdUQ
I've been following your videos, but this one caught my eye especially when you showed us the electronics workbench...
By any chance are you also an Ham Radio operator?
If so, 73 de CT2IRJ Sal
and thanks a lot once again for your videos.
I used be in the SSB many moons ago..... Kind regards Steve

Thanks for replying.
I was very active on the CB hi channels on the late 80's early 90's.
