    How much blowby is too much?

    Yeah it's a diesel. Sorry, sometimes I accidentally assume that other people know the things that are going on in my head lol. Spot on about the cold start. Not voice to text, just poor proofreading! I'm pretty sure the serial number indicates it's a 1970 and the hood says selectamatic, but I...

    How much blowby is too much?

    Any suggestions for how to load it up? It's really just a toy for me, not a lot of hard work for it to do.

    15w40, does not get used hard. I generally do not use the coke start because I only just got it broken loose

    How much blowby is too much?

    Thanks everyone for the input! It definitely doesn't start as well as I'd like it to. Not sure on the thermostat, I have a new temp gauge I need to get installed.

    How much blowby is too much?

    Thanks for the input. Keeping an eye on oil usage is a good indicator because blow by is caused by worn out rings, which will allow oil up from the crankcase into the combustion chamber?

    How much blowby is too much?

    Sorry, I didn't really know what I'm looking at either. It doesn't really seem to use oil. I just see a lot of steam coming from what I assume is a valve cover breather.

    1970 David Brown 990. Seems a little cold blooded, takes a little while to start. Runs good once it does though. Video attached. Is this worthy of a rebuild?

    David Brown 990 Power Beyond Manifold

    I don't have any specific need. I just know I would like to use a joystick valve which means I need the power beyond manifold and then I would have two open remote valves (that were previously controlling the lift and tilt).

    David Brown 990 Power Beyond Manifold

    Currently the loader on my 990 is plumbed to the two remote valves that are to the right of the seat. I'd like to install a power beyond manifold (linked below) so I can use a joystick valve on the loader, and have the remotes available for implements. Can the power beyond manifold be installed...

    Lubricating a headlight switch

    I thought the e clip was holding the shaft in, I didn't consider that it was holding the bottom on

    Lubricating a headlight switch

    I've got a headlight switch for my 1970 David Brown 990 tractor. It works but moves a little stuff. I'd like to fix it if possible rather than replace it. Any ideas how to get it apart?

    DB 990, 3 remotes

    Yeah I've seen those, any idea if that can just stack on top of the two remote valves I already have mounted to the camels hump?
