Hello . Just a quick one . Looking at various pictures , models and real ones I have noticed that the stearing weel originally seemed to be off set , but at some point seemed to have been relocated in the middle . Does anybody knoe when they changed this detail ? Regaurds . David

David,
The DB 900 was introduced in 1956 with the steering column offset. In 1957 an updated version was introduced, featuring 'live drive" giving live PTO and hydraulics and was the first DB tractor to have a dual clutch. At the same time, the steering column was moved to the centre.
Hope this answers your question. Incidentally, the 900 is considered the worst tractor DB ever built!

It certainly does . As far as it being considered the worst tractor ever built is concerned . So I have ever reed it was all due to the rotating shaft in the feul pump seaing up . So the story goes it was they worked okay on the test bed , but not in the field . Ocording to the history books this pump was not infact made buy David Brown and when somebody went to collect a consighnment from the railway station the heard a crash only to find it was there crate they had just droped . So they say when returnig bak to the works every pump was siesed up . Posibly an over exaduration there but who knows . Anyway the goy upon the idea that it was obviously something to do with the impact therefore decided it was time to take a visit to where they were made . So it suposidly turned out , that when the shafts were being machined it was casing the metal to stress to which under impact destressed finaly resolving the mystery as to why the were giving such problems . Though as to whaat they done to rectify the problem it never said . But all this aside just imagine for a moment what would have happened if thease pumps had never caused any problems . The 900 would have probably continued in production until 1961 . I somehow gues that the 990 would have likely to have been called 950 . And quite posibly would have reatianed the 900 style front and the hunting pink and blue livery . Imagine that . When all said and done the next style of front one could not really say was all that desireable and as for that yellow , well . I wont comment . It might purhaps have looked better with grill pink and the wheels and decals white . The 900 was not there only ill fated model of coures . Lets not forget the 50D . That was a desaster from start to finesh . Anyway thanks and byr for noe . David
