Hi
I'm a new member from down under. I've recently inherited my dad's old tractor. It's in a pretty bad state of neglect and I've decided to at least get it back to running condition to do light duties on the family property.
I believe it's a Selectamatic 880,3 cyl, Serial 540113 (according to the plate on the rear left fender/guard).
Can anyone confirm the model and year of manufacture?
Also, does anyone know where I can source the proper operator and service manuals? |

For manuals, try Plough Book Sales in Victoria, they have a good range available. Also, for DB parts, try Magnet Spares in Tamworth NSW. They specialise in DB. For any other info, send me a PM
Regards,
John |

I got my workshop manual and parts manual from www.davidbrownparts.com in England.
Really good copies and excellent service.
Partmanuals for the 880 can be looked up on the net at http://www1.caseih.com/australia/PartsS ... earch.aspx
You can look up drawings of a lot of parts and also ask for quotes I believe, I can't lok up my DB25 but I look up and save the drawings of other tractors like the 950 as a lot of parts are the same. |

No, I believe it is a copy of the proper David Brown workshop manual.
Dont forget to look at the http://www.caseih.com/index.aspx
website for the parts drawings. |

Forgot to mention, a lot of librarys have workshop manuals for tractors.
Most of the time you cant borrow them so bring a camera or photocopy what you want.
Down in Tassie you can check whats in the library online and reserve it.
Worth a look at least. |
