Bored earlier this evening so watched a 1968 movie on TCM named Lost Continent.

Really bad B movie but there were a couple of scenes in the hold of a ship showing a couple of new David Brown 770 tractors. On the hood were SelectOmatic decals so must have been Ford Select-O-Speeds.

Selectamatic from David Brown was one of their designations for the hydraulic system, not the transmission. It was a follow-on to their earlier Implematic hydraulic system
 
(quoted from post at 01:01:15 12/15/18) I'm thinking CaseOmatic, 770 would be one of their models, and some of the Cases were David Browns.

Positively David Brown Selctomatics, not Cases and not Caseomatics.

Watched the same flick. Not very good, but better than reality TV!
 
Agreed, Bret.

The movie was awful.

The only thing that I remember is the David Browns and Sarah.

My uncle bought a new DB 770 selectomatic with loader in 1968. It was a 12 speed with live pto and power steering. It was a tough little tractor.
 
There is absolutely no connection between a DB 770 built in England and a CASE 770 built in Racine Wis.
Case dropped the Case-0-Matic trans in 1969, when the 70 series tractors were introduced and they had a 4 range- 3 speed Power Shift with shuttle reverse.
In 1972 Case aquired David Brown to gain access to the European Market. Case incorporated the DB line into the Case lineup, and the Case 770 Agri King was dropped in 1973, inlue of the DB 1210 and 1410 tractors in the same HP range. All the DB's had Select-0-Matic hydraulic systems, which allowed operator to select Draft, Position, or TCU 3pt hydraulic functions. TCU was used with semi mounted implements that only hooked to the lower draft arms, as the DB's were top link sensing.
