I´m Luis from Spain. I´m the proud owner of an old JCB 3D MK2, which has been abused and still is (was...
) working. She was bought in 1999, lots of play, lots of oil leaks (lots means LOTS, liters!), motor totally worn out, LOTS of thick black smoke...
But she was working. Last month she passed away. It´s a minor break, (broken iny. pump), but will not be repaired.
Good news are there is a new "baby" (if you can call baby sth born in 1980), a 3D MK3 comming. What a great improvement!. Torque converter, hydraulic brakes, no major leaks, power under the right foot....wow! And... MK2 is similar, so, lots of spares available (we plan to keep the mk2 as donor, if anything is still working...
)So... I will enjoy a lot this forum and you will suffer the dumb questions of a f***ng spaniard. Be warned!
Yours,
Luis (Lewis)
PS: As you can find, I´m very good destroying English....
