It looks pretty good! | Valve Chest Inspection | David Brown 990 #10

Finally decided to take out most of the Valve Chest valves on my David Brown 990. Showing the process of removing and reinstalling all but two of the valves. Not removing the Spool or TCU valves though. I do a mostly failed attempt at using my (badly) crafted version of service tool DB961796 to show the abutment plate setup. Check below for a good list of videos that also cover the Valve Chest!
