JCB 3111 (sloping cab)

[Jeremy Rowland]

Another fine old JCB that I came across today, these machines survive in many different places from farmers yards to preserved railways amazing just how many you can see when your out and about

Thanks Martyn , had a smile at the caption though, was there a 2D 111 ?

[Martyn Henley]

I believe the 2D only made it to mk2 Craig.. the 3mk3 was around since 1970ish

Strange number systems , always thought every thing rebadged MKII in 1968? and MK111 in 1977

have you got any more pictures of the back hoe as I'm trying to work out if mine has been 'modified' in the past

[Jeremy Rowland]

Bob I have no more pictures of the back hoe, as you can see the machine was surrounded by cars, but next time I go there I will try and get some if the machine is parked in a convenient position.
