Used DB parts

[Welding man]

Customer brought in a 1210 David Brown 4WD with a cracked block.Good old tractor otherwise. Don't think welding is an option. Metal stiching ,maybe. He said replace the block if we could find a good one. I know these are sleeveless and really don't want of get into a lot of machine work etc. Does anyone know of a good DB salvage yard on the east coast that might have a block? Thanks in advance.

Knowing where you are would help.

Screw on filter or element?

Where is your crack? If it is the usual one behind the injector pump, I have seen it welded many times with no issues(check the timing gears closely if it is this one, cause is running a piece of metal through them)...

I have a block here that was bored .040" with only a few hours on it. It broke a rod bolt and tossed the rod out the side Near the oil filter. Doesn't seem to have hurt the water jacket, just the filter base, and a small nick at the bottom of the cylinder. I thought about welding it back up, but have better engines I could rebuild. I'd sell it cheap, $75 would make me happy. I'm in western PA.

Conversely if he wants to sell the 4x4 1210 and it was close enough, can never have enough tractors.

There is a guy down by the Ohio river south of Wheeling that had trailers full of David Brown Parts.

There have been some blocks on ebay, not sure if for 1210. Roberts Farm Equipment at Camden Ohio, World Wide Tractor at Bellefontaine Ohio, and Jones Equipment at Freeport Ohio.

Thanks for the info, I've bought several parts fron Roberts over the years, they had slipped my mind.

Tractor is definately not for sale. Engine was rebuilt some time back, don't know what size pistons it has, will keep your block in mind. Thanks

I am in southern WV. Louisville is not all that far way. But I have no time to travel. Need to buy something that can be shipped. thanks.

J. Schwiebert, Do you have anymore information on the guy South of Wheeling? I'm in PA, so that may be useful, if he has parts, and I could find out who he is and where to find him. thanks

Is that the guy who seems to have a real oddball DB on eBay every couple weeks. Starts as a $.01 no reserve auction, then he pulls the adds near the end when they don't make good money?
