What an improvement over the standard one is it just a case of shortening the linkage or do you have to modify the part from the bucket to the ram too

Grant I just took about 5mm off the links and drilled new holes took 10 mins. The original bucket will go straight back on.in fact it doesn't need to come off really

I'am going to have a go at this myself I think as it looks so much better I've started modifying my Britains 3cx I've added beacons and a qh and bucket set I just wish Joal or motorart would release a new 3 or 4cx

Hi guys
Bought a matchbox jcb 808 for a fiver,
Gave it a bit of a touch up and put a set of tracks on it. Think it makes a decent model

Also just finished a JS220 material handler

And it's not a jcb but I think this is a pretty good picture
