JCB 812

Post #1 by Baloo » Tue Aug 30, 2022 6:28 pm

i might as well post a couple of pics of this too i guess

i used this to dig a lake some 15 years ago but unfortunately it threw a rod out the side of the block and set the engine bay on fire however i soon put the fire out as i was sitting in a lake lol and to my surprise it restarted and drove out to dry ground with a connecting rod poking out the side of the block, well last year i fitted another engine and just have a couple of things to reconnect and it should drive again, struggling with the suction hoses from the hydraulic tank to the pumps, they are a real pig to get on, dose anyone know if you can still get the originals ?

im expecting this to drive onto a lowloader in the next 3 weeks, non of those trees were there when i parked it up :wtf:

Andy although it is an old machine you may still be able to get the original hoses but they won't be cheap from JCB.

Are the suction hoses a large diameter with a formed bend/elbow?
