JCB 1400b & 3CX differences

[awemawson]

Anyone know the difference between a 3CX and a 1400B JCB? Most 3CXs Ive seen photos of have rear stability leg that drop vertically, and are side shift, whereas most 1400Bs have swing down stability legs and are centremount, however I have seen pictures of centremounts described as 3CXs and 1400Bs with the drop down vertical legs.

Reason: Ive been searching for a workshop manual for a 1990 3CX S/N 360536 grey cab, got a quote from JCB here in the UK for vast ammounts of money, but when I search for the publication number in Google (9803/3257) I find it listed as for a 1400B for 1/10 the price

Think it might be different markets. Some markets do not require sliding king posts or the cost. The centre post is also more stable and they appear to be used with the swing down legs.
