When you’ve got oil in your coolant or coolant in your oil, you know that sick feeling in your gut – your head gasket’s given up. A blown head gasket can turn a good workday into an expensive nightmare if you don’t catch it early. This complete head gasket set gives you everything you need to get your David Brown 990 back to running strong and reliable, just like it was built to do.

Built for Real Farm Work
Your 990 is one of those dependable tractors that just keeps going year after year, whether you’re cultivating row crops, running a hay tedder, or pulling a disc through stubborn clay. The 990 was David Brown’s most powerful wheeled tractor when introduced, featuring a reliable 55-horsepower diesel engine that’s built to handle whatever you throw at it. These mid-size workhorses are perfect for farms where you need power without the bulk of a big machine.
Made to Last
This gasket set is manufactured to the same standards as the original parts that came on your tractor. The head gasket itself is built to seal combustion pressures and keep oil and coolant where they belong, while the other gaskets in the set handle everything from valve covers to oil pan sealing. Quality materials mean this repair will last for years of hard work.
Good to Know
Head gasket replacement is a serious job that requires pulling the head off your engine. While you’re in there, it’s smart to have the head checked for warping and consider getting it resurfaced if needed. Take your time with the torque sequence when reassembling – proper bolt torque is critical for a lasting seal. This is also a great time to replace your thermostat and check your radiator while the cooling system is drained.
