Hi, I am after a JCB 3c or similar backhoe but must me road registered or previously registered so I can get v5. Not worried about overall condition so long as it runs and drives/digs as I will restore it as I go but need it to be put to use pretty soon.
Thanks
Sam

Re: JCB 3C or similar
What sort of money do you want to spend and whereabouts are you based bearing in mind transport costs which are not cheap, there area few 3c III on ebay at the moment.

I am based in bristol area. And ideally some where in the region of 3k. I wish I had not scrapped my other one a couple of years ago due to top pin on back actor being repaired but out of line resulting in bent ram.

That does look quite straight and was top spec in it's day.
Re: JCB 3C or similar
Found one now. Bit rougher than originally planned but works and has v5. Could do with a bit of engine work and a serious cab work. Will start a project post with pics once it arrives. One question dose anyone know where to get a replacement cab or anyone who could makes replacements or restores old ones otherwise it might have a non standard cab fitted.
