This might not be new/big news to anyone but I have been in contact with the David Brown Tractor Club LTD, the Editor of their magazine, Tractor News, is none other than Stuart Gibbard, the author of the David Brown book that I purchased earlier this year and the source of most of the Oliver 500/600 literature posted here previously.
Anyways, I've been trying to get to the bottom of this Oliver 600 outside of the serial number business.
I was able to have them scan the articles published in their Tractor News magazine issue number 42, and 44. In these issues, they ran a 3 part series on these tractors. the first 2 parts were the same articles published in the HPOCCA in May 2006, But the third article is one I haven't seen before and does finally put the theory of "pulling DB 990's off the line to become oliver 600's" in writing. Albeit, it claims that there is only 2 known to be outside the range.
