Re: Classic pictures Updated 03/03/2024

Seconded great pics. The old Scammell Pioneer has a big job on getting that excavator out of the mud. I know by winching very very slowy with snatch blocks they could achieve amazing feats. The white 4x4 with the Scammell is interesting it is a Portugese UMM. There were a lot of weird and wonderful...

Re: 4/98 leyland engine swap between JCB3CMk2 & Mk3?

I've gone the other way even further, my 3c3 with a 4/98 had liner issues and I had no time to dig right into it, and I got a really wrecked 3c2 with a 38dt in it. Its now in my 3c3 currently and I have the 4/98 stashed swearing to rebuild it properly one day and run it up on a dyno for a few heat ...

Re: JCB 3cx

Norm, if it is like the older 3C, then the lever is little more than an on off valve. I have not looked into it, but there must be a non return valve in the supply to the clamps. The line to the clamps is pressurised when other services are operated, particularly to dead end. The clamps may graduall...
