Hydraulic pump wear, clutch wear, PTO seal leaks, front axle kingpin wear are common on tractors of this age. Manual addresses diagnosis and repair.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion on electrical connections and wiring issues can occur due to age and environmental exposure. Wiring diagrams in the manual are crucial for troubleshooting.
Manufacturer History:
David Brown Tractors was a British manufacturer known for robust and reliable agricultural machinery, operating from the early 20th century until its acquisition by Tenneco (Case IH) in 1988.
David Brown 1190 1200 Series:
The 1194 is part of a range of tractors that evolved from earlier David Brown models, fitting into the mid-range utility tractor segment. It likely succeeded or paralleled models like the 1190 or 1210/1212.
Production Years:
Likely produced in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Specific production dates vary by variant and market.
