Spent some time on the engine this weekend and the first order of business was throwing my pressure test gauge on the oil filter housing test port and I am only getting about 5-7 PSI. Pulled the sump and dismantled some of the oil pump and the relief valve but nothing seems to be out of order. Thoug...

Yes have tried all national breakers yards. I will try getting a grey or white cab door and modify John check out this link http://www.equitractmaroy.com/default.htm these guys had hundreds of parts and if you email the owner Felipe (felipe@equitractmaroy.com) he is really good about responding and...

I still have my old block and will need to look but it looks like a plug has been installed in one of the oil fill tubes that travels from the cam up through the block and into the head to the rocker assembly.

Nothing on the front end, have the remote ports on the rear but nothing extra connected to that either...just front bucket and normal hoe.

Good day all, I have a 2002 JCB 214e and upon dropping newly rebuilt engine back in, found that it wouldn't start with the main hydraulic pump connected.
