[AT] Case 995

[Cecil Bearden]

David Brown was an old line English company that made many big drives 
for ships.  Their tractors were very well built and reliable.   In the 
early 70's I worked at a tractor shop that had been a David Brown dealer 
before Tenneco Case bought them out.  We had a DB 990 that had a 
Westendorf Loader and box blade on it that stayed out on rentals to a 
developer who built apartments.  The only problem we had with it was the 
clutch.  The flywheel had been re-surfaced, but the mounting bosses on 
the flywheel had not been resurfaced the same amount and so the clutch 
pressure was reduced.  After that problem was found we had no more 
problems. The transmission was  very well built and as I remember had 
herringbone teeth on the bull gears...  The 995 was the 990 after Case 
took over David Brown tractor production.
