I have an Oliver 500 which is a David Brown 850 painted green. In the 30 years I have owned it, I have had to replace the water pump and fuel transfer pump. Both items and associated gaskets were bought from Case. Not in stock at my "local" (~30 miles away) dealer, but in my hands in ~3 days.
Fuel and oil filters are from NAPA. Amazingly, always on the shelf at my local store.
It is at just a bit over 5000 hours. Starts easy and runs great. Spends most of its time running a 5' flail mower. I've run a 2-14 plow and ~7' disc behind it. Also used it to log out ~50 fir trees up to 24" diameter, some skidded, and some with an arch. Neighbor borrowed it one year to do his hay when his tractor broke down and could not get it fixed in time.
Don't know a thing about MF tractors so can not offer a comparison. It would have to be a heck of a tractor to be better than a DB though in my experience.
