Gear Selection:
Typically multiple forward gears (e.g., 8 or 12 forward) and 2-4 reverse gears.
Pto Options:
Live PTO and/or synchronized PTO, often with 540/1000 RPM options.
Differential Lock:
Standard rear differential lock, operated by foot pedal.
Wheelbase:
Varies by model; refer to specific model data. Typically around 80-90 inches.

Tow Capacity:
Refer to tractor's specific rating and manual for load limits and towing recommendations.
Instrumentation:
Basic analog gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, battery voltage, and tachometer. Warning lights for critical functions.
Pto Engagement:
Mechanical lever or synchronized engagement for PTO operation.
Lighting:
Standard headlights, taillights, and work lights (optional).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250 hours of operation, but refer to manual for exact interval and oil type.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommend replacement every 250-500 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Check manual.
Air Filter Service:
Check daily/weekly depending on dust conditions; service as needed. Replacement interval varies.
Engine Oil Specification:
Typically API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 or 20W-50, depending on ambient temperature. Refer to manual for exact viscosity and API classification.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Often uses a universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) or a specific hydraulic fluid (e.g., Case IH TFD, Hy-Tran Plus). Check manual for compatibility and specifications. Capacity varies.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze mixture, typically a 50/50 blend with distilled water, for freeze and corrosion protection.
Hydraulic System Leaks:
Common in older tractors, may require seal replacement or pump inspection.
Clutch Wear:
Wear and tear over time, requiring clutch pack replacement.
Diesel Injection System:
Fuel injector wear or pump calibration issues can affect engine performance and starting.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion or looseness in wiring can lead to intermittent electrical faults.
David Brown Legacy:
David Brown was a significant British tractor manufacturer known for robust and reliable farm machinery. The brand was later incorporated into Case IH.
Series Development:
The 1190, 1194, 1290, 1294, and 1390 represent a lineage of medium-horsepower tractors from David Brown, building upon earlier designs and incorporating engine and transmission upgrades for improved performance and efficiency.
Production Period:
These models generally fall within the late 1970s to mid-1980s production era.
