JCB 3C - Cab Restoration Part 1

[@michaelviney3737]

Very useful channel as just about to start on doing the roof on my 3C111. I bought the unit 25 years ago to help in building our house and keeping a long drive fed with plantings! It was tatty then but a couple of years ago the clutch went and it has been parked and used as an hydraulic power source for my log splitter. Anyway this year decided to do the clutch, brakes, and replace the cab which is slightly worse than yours. Could only find white cabs at daft prices but managed to get an earlier cab in not bad condition. Clutch and brakes done so now for the cab and patching wheel arches. I’m not doing a proper restoration like yours but just keeping it in useable condition. I’ll see how you get on in re-fabricating yours and maybe I’ll do the same rather than put on the earlier version. Anyway thanks for the very informative and useful videos…….very nicely done.

I would like a $ for every time you say " We are getting There" I had one of that year brand new back in 73. Its looking good.

Very nice, I'm impressed. Could you talk a little bit about how you welded up the cab? I have a 3 Mk2 and its cab needs a lot of work, but the sheet metal on it is paper thin, and I'm afraid if I go near it with the welder I'll just blow holes in it. Thanks

On the next video that will be about working on the cab Basically I'm cutting sections out and weldeding sections in
