Yella Fella - How to break and fix a JCB 8014 CTS

[@stewarthaddon3219]

I'm an idiot too pal, that's why I'm watching your video😂great video, very helpful, saved me embarrassing myself asking the gaffa how it lifts up!

[@jonsandow654]

I have the exact same problem with the noice and have been wondering and looking on the internet for info about tilting the cabin without luck. And finaly i found your video and you made it all verry easy to me. Thanks Man 👌

[@deetee6621]

I’ve been busy with mine recently so haven’t had much time to look at it. Yesterday, I parked it up in my barn and my intention is to investigate ‘yet another leak’ and to have a real go at replacing the knackered engine mounts which are still noisy. I did do a bit of a bodge with a rubber washer/shim but this only lasted a few months. I’ll video it, to explain. I’m glad it helped you. Makes it all worthwhile. 👍

still best video on youtube raising JCB canopy😁

[@deetee6621]

That’s bloody brilliant tbh. When I wanted to find out how to do it, there was one video in Russian I think, which is exactly why I shared what I had discovered. Once you do it, it suddenly becomes a two minute thing and my whole video becomes redundant. If you don’t get at least some basic knowledge/ confidence building , you’re in the realms of “this might hurt”. And none of us, need that. :)

@deetee6621 my jcb threw a track today and guess what I ended up watching another of you videos. Thanks again.

[@stephendodd8626]

I have the same machine and you just taught me how to tilt my cab THANK YOU.

[@darrenfrost5775]

the digger won't track forward if you started it with cab tilted , so long as you don't put the arm down on the left [ when you are sat in the seat ] that is the safety switch on there to keep controls dead ,

Thank you very helpful

Hi thanks for the really detailed video I’ve popped a hose at the bottom of the boom I’ve added a quick hitch and when I crowd In the teeth on the bucket caught the solid pipe nut. Do I need to lift the cab to get at the other end of it or can i get at it from the side panel all the best tony

[@deetee6621]

Personally, I wouldn’t consider accessing by the side panels. It will take you longer to find the correct sized sockets, than it will to undo them and tilt it back. In total, it is 8 bolts. 2 Allen key bolts on the floor plate, 2 big 22mm (I’m guessing that size due to my bad memory) and then take off two on the tracking lever bolts (you only need to loosen 2 and take 2 out) and the cab tilting is safe/easy/slow.

[@deetee6621]

Oh. And take the bolts out of the pedals. I forget them. I’d still suggest you tilt it so you can have a good rummage.

[@deetee6621]

When you lift the cab, there is a little clip on one of the air struts. Those clips stop It from falling back down. You have to squeeze the clip a little to release it…or it won’t go down. Not sure if I covered it in the video.

[@tonybryan737]

Your a star thank you very much

[@davidgibbons-wood9488]
