JCB 3CX Project Update

We are now back to making some good progress on the 3cx as u can see we got majority of the fabrication done and now onto putting the cab back together.

Looking good guys. There's been some upsides to this who thing and having more time to get into some yard projects is one of them! Looking forward to seeing the cab restored and refitted.

Hi Ollie we are finding it nice to have some time and weather to go with it!. All the matts are fitted back in the cab so there will be another update soon.

The trans from memory is a borg warner , simple enough to fix basic clutch packs and drums.Pressure Testing will tell a story.Good luck with your project and stay safe.

Hi Andrew yea we think it might be the torque converter as the last owner said it lost drive when it got hot but so far we can't seem to find any faults so we'll just have to see how it goes when we test it.

Es una 3D, eso es duro como una piedra Tengo una con 15000 h y no le he hecho ni un reglaje de válvulas , solo empaquetaduras de botellas y un cambio de bomba de inversor.

Lovely work done to it so far mate, If you’ve brought any new doors for it could you sent me a link to where to get some as I’m looking for a left side door for mine

Looking good 👍 you gonna paint the whole thing or just some of it?

[@filmingtractorsandplant9902]

Hi Antony yes we've finally got the time now the current plan is to paint the cab area then use it in our yard to test the transmission as the previous owner said it was no good then if its it good we will paint the rest or change the trans then paint.
