Description

That lower hood panel on your David Brown takes more punishment than just about any other body part on the tractor. Between catching rocks kicked up from the front tires, getting dinged by tools, and taking hits from branches when you’re bush hogging overgrown fence rows, it’s bound to get beat up over the years. This replacement panel gets your 990 or 996 looking sharp again while protecting your engine compartment from all the dirt and debris that wants to find its way inside.

Exact 540mm width designed specifically for 4-cylinder models – no guessing on fit
Heavy-duty steel construction that matches the original thickness and durability
Pre-formed curves and mounting points for direct bolt-on installation
Bare metal finish ready for primer and paint to match your tractor
Direct replacement using your existing mounting hardware

Built for Real Farm Work

Your David Brown 990 or 996 is likely the go-to tractor for countless jobs around the farm – from running the rake during hay season to handling mowing duties or powering the feed mixer. This lower panel protects vital engine components during all those jobs, whether you’re navigating through tall grass while brush cutting, kicking up dust during field prep, or dealing with crop residue at harvest time. It’s your first line of defense keeping the radiator and engine bay clean.

Made to Last

This isn’t some thin aftermarket tin that’ll dent if you look at it sideways. The panel is stamped from proper gauge steel that matches factory specifications, so it’ll stand up to the same daily abuse as your original did. The 540mm width is specific to the 4-cylinder engine models, ensuring you get proper clearance and airflow around your engine compartment without any guesswork.

Installation Notes

Replacing this panel is a straightforward job most farmers can tackle in about 30-45 minutes. Remove the old panel, transfer any good mounting hardware, and bolt the new one in place using the existing holes. Since it comes in bare metal, you’ll want to prime and paint it before installation – this is actually a perfect opportunity to touch up the whole front end while you’ve got everything apart.
