How about piccies of the little green beauty in the background?

Perhaps there ought to be a DB/tractor section in the forum...

Here is one after Paddy has done some cleaning and polishing:



I think selectamatic may have been an early version of ASM?

This is a later 4wd turbo model - styling by Zagato?



Lots more at the sister organisation to AMOC:

David Brown Tractor Club

I like the feature on the David Brown test track:

According to Wikipedia early DB tractors used a Coventry Climax engine, like a F1 car wink

That angular tractor can't be a Zagato, doesn't have a funny roof.

All alloy SOHC. Perhaps quite advanced at the time.

Its a Fordson for sure J12MOC but as to model I dont know . I give a shed to 3 guys who collect vintage agricultural machinery and there must be 15 tractors in there at least. The David Brown is not mine.You obviously know your tractors better than me !!

Can't help but notice the interior has gone from Parliament Green to Iron Ore. Shame.

The White and Red Rose motif on the front of the David Brown tractors

is exactly the same as the horn push on the steering wheel of 1960s DB cars such as this DB6
