Air Hose Radiator to Air Cleaner for David Brown 780 and 880 Series Tractors

Description

If you’ve noticed your David Brown tractor running a bit rough or not breathing quite right, this air hose between the radiator and air cleaner might be the culprit. This hose is made from rubber compounds that can handle the heat cycling between cold morning starts and hot afternoon field work. The reinforced walls won’t collapse when the engine creates vacuum, which can happen with worn-out or universal hoses that just don’t fit right.

What You’re Getting

• Pre-formed shape that fits exactly where it should, avoiding kinks or tight bends that restrict airflow
• Heat-resistant rubber construction that won’t crack or deteriorate from engine temperature cycles
• Reinforced walls that maintain proper vacuum and air flow under all operating conditions
• Direct replacement design – no modifications or jury-rigging needed

Built for Real Farm Work

David Brown tractors are known for their reliability on British and European-style farms, and this hose keeps your 780, 880, or 885 running cool during long days in the field. Whether you’re running a tedder through hay fields, pulling a plow through heavy clay, or operating a loader around the farmyard, proper engine cooling and air flow are crucial. These mid-range tractors often work harder than their size suggests, making reliable cooling system components essential for avoiding costly breakdowns.

Made to Last

Farm equipment takes a beating, and air hoses are no exception. This one’s built to handle temperature swings, vibration, and the occasional bump from tree branches or equipment. The rubber compound resists cracking and hardening, so it keeps sealing properly season after season.

Installation Notes

Replacing this hose is a straightforward job that’ll take about 20 minutes with basic tools. Let the engine cool completely first – nobody wants to wrestle with hot hoses. The old hose might be stuck pretty good after years of heat cycles, so a little twisting while pulling usually does the trick. Clean the connection points before installing the new hose, and make sure the clamps are tight but not over-tightened (crushed hoses don’t last long).
