JCB 1400B/3CX hydraulic filter P/N

[BubbaGump]

Hi,

I have a 91-ish JCB 1400B. I am hoping someone might know how I can search for parts, specifically the P/N for the hydraulic filter. I found the workshop manual here, looks to be SN315000-400000. I pasted a picture from the workshop manual that shows the style of filter.



Thanks,
Bubs

Hi Bubs,
There are two options listed. A 25 micron filter pt no. 581/06301 or a 10 micron filter pt no. 581/00012. I'd go with the second one as it'll remove smaller particals.
https://parts.jcb.com gives us access to parts lists and diagrams in the UK but I don't know if it's available to you in the USA. If it is,you meed to click on the 3CX listings and then select 1400B at the bottom.

Yep - the jcb parts site is apia if you are out of the uk.

If you are changing the hydraulic oil, take to oportunity to wash out the return filter (accessable through the round cover on the side of the tank).
When the hatch is off, you will be able to see what nastyness has collected in the bottom of the tank).

Don't think there is a hyd filter (suction) in the tank on that year of machine but there is a steering filter in the bottom corner...

ok, thanks. I assumed is had been introduced by '91
Always confusing matching the NA/ UK serial ranges too.
The manual I'm looking at (9803 / 3250) (SN 290 000 ->) does not show a return filter, but does show an inline cartridge hydraulic filter.

This was perfect, thank you. Thank you everyone else for chiming in and pardon the delayed response. I have had my hands full, and this new backhoe of mine keeps getting stranger every time I look at something too hard. I was at least able to get access to the parts finder on the JCB site using a little internet magic.

I am going to post a (much) longer story and ask more questions soon. But for now I will stick to the direct follow-up to the filter replacement :

After replacing many things I still had a leak on a seal that should have only been seeing "tank pressure". That lead me to believe I might have a clogged filter. I replaced said filter with recommendation from above. During filter change I found this :


I think it is safe to say, that's a really bad sign. Well, let's clean it and go from there. Someone must have blown the pump? Either way, weak hydraulics doesn't seem to be an issue so I'm going to do my best to forget I saw this for now. This might sound like a terrible idea, and it might be...


Now is clean and back together.

In light of recent findings, think I am going to bite the bullet and drain the tank back out and take a look as you have suggested. Will let you know how scary it gets in there.

Oh .... that's .... exciting!

I may still hve the wrong model, but do you have Filter E?



Apart from anything else, I'd slap an untra-strong (neodymium) magnet onto the removable hatch to help pull the fines out.
