They were a David Brown 990. In February 1960, Oliver and David Brown made a deal to sell the DB 850 in the US as an Oliver 500. In 62 they expanded the deal to sell the 990 as a 600. By April of 63, DB had established a dealer network in the US and ended the deal. Only about 500 of them were ever made. This is only the third one I've ever seen.

He said they moved the battery up front in April 63, the same month they ended the deal with Oliver and that these ones found must have been run off to fill an order.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
