The black cab "P3" as it was know was launched in January 1985 and later that year in August was further updated "P4" from serial number 315000 with a host of changes including a split bonnet. In Apil 1986 the "P5" was launched with further changes including electric forward/reverse from serial number 320000.

Hope these brief details help to narror down which model you have

i would try your local jcb dealer first for parts they might not be too expensive or there is a place that advertise in classic tractor called awd engineering phone number 01962 885904 there ad says they specialise in new and used jcb spares hope this helps

It looks like you've got the optional 17ft Extradig dipper too.

Is it just me or does that first hose, near the king post, feeding the hammer look a bit short and tight?
