No mate, it's fubar'd. 3c's aren't that sophisticated. It may even be that the degraded rubber is in the fuel and adding to the problem.

Lovely old MF200! Our version was piloted by an old guy who thought it was great, mind you he had moved up from a Bristol taurus. When the massey got a bit too much he got a ride on a 3c, it took him ages to get used to only having two levers! Roy "tiddly" Tideswell. He taught me a lot whe...

One i was impressed with had a plate bolted back on to cover it, someone had taken the time to drill and tap the bolt holes, it even had a rubber gasket. Th...

Believe it or not, the approved tool was two pieces of angle iron. The plan was, you lifted the loader arms right up and clamped both pieces around the ram rod. They had flags welded to the sides with a 3/8th hole drilled in them,so you could bolt them together. I'm not sure i've described as well a...
