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. 👍

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.

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 ,

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
@deetee6621Ай бұрын
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.
@deetee6621Ай бұрын
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.
@deetee6621Ай бұрын
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.

Hi thanks for the video. I'm curious as to whether you have actually purchased any spares for the machine and if so who from? I have the same machine and recently it's started over heating. So some things need to be done but I can't find any suppliers locally for spares. Regarding the stuff you are unsure about, I'm guessing it is the hydraulic manifold. It will be made up of a series of directional control valves, which send fluid to the correct end of the cylinder and hence make it extend and retract but I'll find out more when I tackle my machine! Thanks.

Hi Big Pouse. When I blew hoses, they came from the parts team locally at www.holtjcb.co.uk/ When I needed the idlers wheels and bearings: hcparts.eu who are in Poland I think. Since Brexit they don’t appear to have the UK as a country they can deliver to, but they still delivered within days and the prices were 50% less than local prices. Too good to ignore. :/ Hose adaptors (which I needed) I had made up locally. The snapped door hinge I stripped myself, got it welded locally, then I reassembled. Next on my list is the two rear engine mounts which came from eBay somewhere, inserting some washers into the arm pins….and I am toying with the idea of welding the slew ring to the cab as I have a lot of play. New slew rings are extortionate prices.

@Dee Tee thanks for the reply. I'll look it all up. I bought my machine 5 or 6 years ago. It has come of an age when it requires all cylinders re-sealing. All pins are sloppy but I can live with that for now. And this over heating issue. So I'll strip it down when I get a chance and work my way through it. Have you any experience of overheating? Thinking outside the box, the oil cooler is integral in the rad. If i have an internal hydraulic leak this could generate heat and pass it to the radiator heating the coolant. If you have any other ideas I'd love to hear them!!! Thanks for the reply. I'll let you know how I get on!

@Dee Tee I changed that. The old one was out of adjustment. So I changed that. No water in oil. No oil in the water. Fan spins. So radiator gets hot so I'm guessing thermostat is open and water pump is working. I'll have the check the water pump. No external water leaks either. It's a strange one.
