VIN / age of JCB 2BII
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:45 pm
Hi all,
I have recently bought an old JCB 2BII. Its a restoration project, but does run, drive and dig.
I hoped to register it for the road, but I cant find any VIN / serial number or JCB ID plate. Im assuming this has long fallen off!
I have uncovered the Nuffield skid ID plate, along with the number stamped below it. Is there any way to work out what the original VIN number might be? I have emailed JCB about my issue, but they dont seem to be able to help. Are their records poor for old diggers, or are they just not really interested? It also appears to be difficult to source exact spares without this number!
Does anybody have any experience in trying to register their digger with just the details off the skid plate?
Thanks!
