1290 Finished, well almost

[1370rod]

Still looking for a K201998 tack drive adapter and a K301063 fuel gauge sending unit. Both no longer available from Case. For the base unit of this tractor being a 990 DB Case did a great job updating them . I really enjoy operating it. I wish we would have had the chance to see and operate the 4-570 tractors before the company decided to scrap the idea of restyling them. Rod.

That is a sharp tractor you have there Rod. Look forward to you putting it to work. Kow Farmer Kurt

Nice looking machine Rod. Those DB tractors were thought of by the dealers just about the same as Case-o-matic. Either they were loved or hated, not much in between. Quite a few Case dealers sold DB as well, before 1972. Don

Rod!! She's sweet as is anything coming out of your shop.

Very nice looking tractor. Thanks for posting. Not very many of those around this area. Looks like it would be a handy tractor.

 

[Hoofer B]

Wow Looks better than new. Good Job on that. I guy I worked for had a 1390 and a 1490. I liked them> Bill

Nice tractor, nice lines. Dad had a new 1210 with loader. I have never seen the smaller sizes here and only remember Dad's 1210. Seems he had a couple clutches put in it.

Looking good Rod, wish I had my parts in order

That is a handy looking tractor, what HP are they? I think I was in your neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago, we went to Round Lake.

 

[1370rod]

These are rated at 53 hp, if you were in Round lake that is about 30 mile away.

A good customer has a 1210 he bought new. It was used for planting, spraying and etc. Clutch and engine overhaul about 20 yr ago. Been a damn good tractor for him, never touched the hyd or powertrain other than that mentioned. It is still going strong, Rod.

None around here Darrell, had to go a couple hundred miles into IA for this one, Rod.

Would you consider the old girl a 3 bottom plow tractor Rod? CM

 

[1370rod]

Hi Chuck, yes this will be a few ponies and lbs more than my 570. I am in the process of building a 2-16 semi mount plow for use on both tractors. We have some extremely
heavy clay soils in places a 3-16 plow would be difficult for either tractor to pull without adding weight. I do not want to do that just for some recreational plowing,
the 2 bottom will work great no matter what soils I am in, Rod.

Rod, the David brown tractors had great dealer support here. Have 4 990's, 1-995, 2-885's, a 1200 and a 1210. Also 1-1290 along with my 2090. To say I like the David Browns would be an understatement. They were a lot of them sold around here because the dealer understood them and supported them. Your's is very sharp, whereas mine are in their work clothes.

Look what I found Rod! CM

1370 how are you doing a 2 bottom semi-mount? Going the model J route or are you trying another model?
There are several other brands Ive looked at for bringing down to a 2 bottom.
