Engine Oil Change:
Typical intervals for this era are 250-500 operating hours; precise details in the manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Intervals are usually annual or based on operating hours; specific recommendations in the manual.
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity and API classification (e.g., SAE 15W-40, API CD/CE or later).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Specific tractor hydraulic fluid (THF) or universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) recommendations will be in the manual. Likely a specific David Brown specification or equivalent.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze mixture, specific ratio detailed in manual.
Common Wear Points:
Wear in the clutch, transmission synchronizers, hydraulic pump and cylinders, and engine seals are common in older tractors; the manual will guide repair.
Electrical Gremlins:
Older wiring harnesses can degrade, leading to intermittent electrical faults; detailed wiring diagrams are critical.
Manufacturer Origin:
David Brown Tractors was a British agricultural machinery manufacturer, known for robust and reliable tractors.
Series Context:
The 1190 series represents a mid-range tractor model from David Brown's production era, likely produced in the latter half of the 20th century.
Manufacturing Period:
Specific production years for the 1190 series are not provided but are typically in the 1970s or 1980s.
