Looking for some info to point me in the right direction towards getting service manuals and owner manuals on this JCB I inherited. Also looking to find out the year. Looking to give it some much TLC after years of regular maintenance neglect. I have a picture of the serial number tag but that’s all I have for info to go off of and everything that I’ve seen tells me pretty much nothing for this machine. Any helps appreciated!
If you're going to fix that up, I hope you own a bank.
Welcome. Don’t really know much about JCB’s other than I ran that machines brother or cousin, brand new in the 90’s and it was beautiful. Your new acquisition looks to be in great shape, with a nifty 4in1 bucket and 4 WD. I hope that exhaust has a 90 degree bend that I can’t see. There is quite a bit of information on here regarding those machines and other than dealer/parts availability, they are hard running machines and feel free to look around for a differential lock, cross tread points awarded at the end of the year. Disregard humor if you happen to be a non humorous individual. Lol
Come on V, it looks to be in really great shape. You are an example of a humorous individual but I think you’re slipping. At least his directions aren’t in Spanglish.
I am slipping . I blame TS lol
Blame the broken Haas.
I'll have to say that backhoe's current position in life is a bit concerning. But, you never know. Does it run?
As a Haas mill operator, they are like 95% of the stress in my day to day life so I feel that lol.
That’s not its current position but a few months ago when I found some soft spots where I didn’t except them to be lol. It runs beautifully for a machine that gets used and abused with minimal maintenance the last 15 years.
Ahh, that ain’t even close to stuck, that’s the redneck parking brake. lol
