David Brown 900 Tractor 1958

The David Brown 900 Tractor was launched at the 1956 Smithfield Show.  The David Brown house colour of hunting pink together with a blue radiator grill and wheels made a distinctive combination.  The engine options were a choice of a 37 h.p. paraffin or either a 40 or 45 h.p. petrol engine, and a 40 h.p. diesel version which was one the first diesel tractors fitted with a distributor type injection pump.  An improved version of the 900 with duel category TCU hydraulics and live two-speed power take-off was introduced in 1957.  The David Brown 900 was replaced by the 950 in 1958.
