Newbie jcb 3c mk3 owner

[vdubstorm]

Hi i have just got myself a 3c mk3 1979 with layland engine and as im new to these sort of machines was wondering if anyone could help me out with a couple of questions i have.

what engine oil does it take or what do people use and do i use normal atf in the gearbox and torque converter.

many thanks for any help.

the original oil were Mobil Delvac 1320 or JCB Super X 20W20 but the modern equivalent recomended engine oil by JCB is 15W40 engine oil which is what I used on my restored 3C MKIII.

The torque convertor was Mobil Delvac 1310 but used JCB Torque Convertor oil 10W which works fine.

Transmission fluid was Mobillube HD90 so the JCB Gear Oil HP90 can be used

Having just been through an extensive restoration of my 3C I have a lot of parts if you get stuck. Do you have any pictures of your machine as I would be most interested in seeing them..

Filters and gaskets for the engine can be obtained from a tractor dealer and Charnleys are a dealer for the Leyland engine and cab supply most parts for the engine and axle which are not too expensive. The hydrualic oil filters are still available from any JCB dealer.
