David Brown 94 series (1983–1986) – the last white tractors from Meltham: 1194 to 1694, the final digits 94 as series, the first digits as size class, A for four-wheel drive, three

The 94 series was the last tractor generation under the David Brown name: the maker from Meltham in Yorkshire, in tractor building since 1936 and owned by Case since 1972, brought it out in 1983 as successor to the 90 series, and after the merger of Case and International Harvester in 1985 the tractors continued in red as Case International 94 until the Meltham plant closed in 1988. The type logic: the final digits 94 mark the series, the first digits order the size in ascending order – 1194 the three-cylinder around 48 hp, 1294 and 1394 the four-cylinder mid-range, 1494 and 1594 the big four-cylinders around 80 to 95 hp, 1694 the six-cylinder with about 108 hp – A four-wheel drive. The engines are David Brown's own diesels of 2.7 to 5.4 litres at 2,200 to 2,300 rpm, the transmissions the synchromesh gearboxes with Hydra-Shift powershift step, the hydraulics the Selectamatic system – and the cab the Q-Cab, regarded as one of the quietest of its time.
