JCB 3CX breaker option installation

ROAMER_AUS ยท 2021-12-10 02:38

Hi all, I have a customer that wants to put hydraulic breaker on this backoe. JCB 3CX 14H3WA JCB3CXAPJ02107666 MY 2007 Any JCB experts here that can tell me how do these backoes can be fitted with breaker if there is no installation for it? Is there any sort of semi prepaired parts on them already? (Like provisions on the distributor or something like that?) Anyone that has done it already maybe? I didn't see the machine yet, he bought it but it is not delivered to him yet. But I would like to get some advice from you guys on the matter. Thanks!!!!

    There are rockbreaker installation kits readily available from JCB dealers, you will need to know weather the rockbreaker your customer has requires a kit with the 1 inch BSP return line, a lot of the older breakers would not work well with a back pressure. The modern breakers will work with the breaker pipe kit which has a 3/4 inch supply and return, this would have to be checked with the breaker manufacturer

    Hi all. this turned out to be a major drama. kit was ordered from JCB by the customer. It arrived, but it is wrong. Apparently by the chasy number it is correct. But it doesn't fit. This kit neds to be tapped into HPCO ports in order to work properly. But my machine doesn't have configuration with HPCO ports. It has a T port, and pressure is supplied from the pump directly to front and rear distributor. It is a variflow pump with servo commands. Anyone had an issue like this? Thanks!!!
