I bought a case david brown 770, does anyone know what all brands of loaders will fit on them? Now I need to find a loader, box blade, plow, and brush hog.

koyker is a major loader mfr located in south dakota - sure they'd give you info about what they make to fill your needs -

Are you looking to spend 4K plus for a new loader? Otherwise, used loades and tools are where you find them...

David Brown was a good tractor, about the only thing I can knock it for is those goofy bolts. David Brown was made in England, and they used the British Thread instead of Standard thread. It does not seem like much until you lose a bolt and try to find a replacement, do you know how hard it is to find a ½ bolt, with 12 threads per inch instead of 13? You're not going to find it at the hardware store that's for sure.

Other then that, it had plenty of power...most were powered by Perkins which are renowned in the Marine Power Industry. They also had plenty of weight, had long lives from what I could tell, and were quite stout. No idea on where to get a loader for it though.
