I hear these are hard to get parts for, and when found empty your pockets! Should I stay away? Or, am I way off here? $1500 is asking price. [Reply]   [Send Email]

I have one that I use regularly. It has been a good tractor. Parts are a little hard to find.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Grumpy, 11-19-2009 01:41:43   I'm thinking the 1250 is one to stay away from- 1250A and 1255 were much better. I think the 1250 used an oddball engine that was a real problem.   [Reply]   [No Email]

No parts available. The 1250A wasn't actually decaled that way,but had a 3 cylinder. That's the way to tell the difference.   [Reply]   [No Email]

There are more gas David Brown tractors in the USA than there are in the UK. The B model gas IH units are not any better.   [Reply]   [No Email]
