the windscreen on the 3 sloped backwards ,3c sloped forwards ,(a good idea as the 3 windscreen suffered if stuff fell out of the bucket at full lift)

Hi Paul and welcome to CMN I think this is probably a JCB 3 but I may stand to be corrected on that one; somebody on here will identify it for you for certain, without access to my reference book I can't be 100% Welcome anyway and enjoy the site. :thumbup:
