| We used to have a 990 and it was one tough and dependable tractor, in fact I saw it the other day mowing. It depends on condition, and if it has a cab, but in good condition $3-5K I'm guessing, especially with cab. Here are some examples on tractorhouse http://www.tractorhouse.com/list/list.aspx?ETID=1&catid=1110&Manu=DAVID+BROWN&Mdltxt=990&mdlx=exact |

central ohio..between Springville and Millbrook. | Are there any Amish in your area?? Around here they love the David browns for the limited tractor work they are allowed to do. There's actually a small business in our county that takes these tractors and restores them and puts hard rubber tires on them for the amish.
I would say at least 2 grand
Good luck!

deep SW On. | nick we sold Dad's about 20 yrs. ago with a good loader,think we got $3,000..... Guy from Simcoe bought it , he flips the planetaries on rear end upside down and lengthens front king pins and makes high boys for Veg/gingsing farms |

ontario | Im hoping to get around $2000 it isnt much but it all counts towards a larger tractor.

Madison Co. Virginia | The 990 is a good tractor with a solid loader, once you get used to some of the awkward controls(such as switching a valve between the 3-point and the loader). Pretty much any loader tractor with good rubber that's halfway dependable is worth 3-4k to hobbyist beef guys. If it doesn't have a loader and needs considerable tire and wheel work, I can't imagine it being worth much.
A neighbor has a 990 loader tractor for sale with new rubber for 5k. He's pricing it a little high, but not far. My dad wants to buy it, but I'm trying to convince him to save the money toward a MFWD instead of buying another 990. |

I hardly see how. The 990 didn't have planetaries, but had outboard final drives that were already in a downward-facing(and thus maximum clearance) position. |

West Central Alberta Coldest, wettest edge | Have I been misled? Is s 990 better than the rest of the DB tractors? |

North Central Illinois | No. |

| Not sure where you get DB tractors are so bad. I've had an 885 for about 30 years that originally came off an indian reserve - used in the hottest summer weather and the coldest days of winter blowing snow, absolutely trouble free. I've heard some of the bigger ones gave trouble but I have no experience with them.

Southern Nevada desert | We had an 885 for about 15 years, it was a fine tractor. Not a single mechanical problem, the Lucas elecrical system was glitchy at times. I have a friend with an 885 I remember him owning since the '80s and no major problems and only a few minor problems.
Around here any tractor you can drag an arena with will sell for $3500-$4500, with a loader $5500+ |

West Central Ohio | I own one. I grew up on them. I like them. I paid about $3200 for a good running, decent looking one (with mismatched rubber).
I would guess about $1500 - $2000 with needing the rim and a valve cover gasket. |

Maybe I should have said outboard finals rather than planetaries----Dad bougth it new in '67-$5,500 . Great simple tractor.. Are you sure they were in downward position--all I know is what I was told by the buyer |

It appears the truth is somewhere in the middle. I didn't look at our 990 since it's at the other farm, but I did the next best thing by using Google Image search. The final drives are mounted so that they position the wheels directly behind the axles. By turning them 90 degrees, you can shorten the wheelbase and raise the tractor. |

Kipps there is a little plate that can be changed on if I remeber right the top of the transmission,comes off a 995 and it makes loader "live" to use regular 2 lever loader controls or joystick ,, dad had 950 first with loader then traded to new 990 and re-used loader (a red loader) and later updated to a brown loader with its own controls,,that little plate to let oil flow to loader is only like $50...a couple of weeks ago a guy had a '79 995 with 2,700 org. hrs. for sale asking $5,000 CAD ($3,500 usd.) ,it had been for sale off and on for a long time,of course when I call its sold,I see it sitting on neighbours lagoon pump which is what we would have done with it |

WC MO | My dad had a 885G back in the eary-mid 70's. It was a strangely configured tractor that the dealer had for quite awhile. Being a gas engine, it had the exhaust that ran to the back with the muffler under the operator platform, yet it was what I guess would be considered a row-crop utility because it had the tall rear tires and flattop fenders. Not too much call for such a thing I don't suppose. That gas engine ran like a sewing machine, very quiet and smooth.
