    JCB oil equivalents?

    For the rear axle... I talked to a Mobil guy randomly - he said they have a comparable, but when we looked it up it was $170 (Mobil) vs $205 (local JCB dealer). So I ended up just getting the JCB stuff as I was going there anyways. That was the only JCB branded fluid I did when I changed them...

    Chains - front, rear or both axles?

    JCB 3CX with 4wd and LSD.. but last winter I got into a few slippery areas where I packed down snow and it wasn't fun. I'm trying to figure out if its cheaper to chain up the backhoe this winter, or just pay someone to plow the driveway. Front axle chains are ~$450, rear axle $600 (ie...

    Jcb 416H

    That sounds alot like my 3CX when there was water in the fuel and it was 15-20f outside. The ice in the lines would starve fuel. Are you in 1st or 2nd gear?

    3cx gearbox problems

    When you say lose, what happens? If you shift into them, nothing happens? Noises? Any motion? If you put up the outriggers and get the rear wheels off the ground, does 1/2 make them move at all? Is powershift the old name for JCB synchroshuttle?

    Jcb 416H

    Does it start out fine then slow/crawl down? Or just doesn't ever have the umph to get going under heavy wheel load? Do the hydraulics work under full load at RPM? What gear are you in when trying to do this?

    Jcb 214

    Just the operators manual it looks like. JCB is proud of their manuals and charges accordingly. If you need parts - ask this guy on ebay and he can lookup stuff and hopefully has: https://www.ebay.com/str/allbackhoeparts He's had everything I've asked for, and helped me cross ref my 2016 part...

    Hydraulic fluid flush on a Case 480ck

    oof. that's rough. Can you unbolt the engine from its mounts, and jack up the block to clear the frame there?

    Conicidence that unplugging the JCB Livelink ECU solved my missing signal fault codes?

    Went to startup my JCB 3CX after sitting for 2 weeks (when it ran fine), and it threw a bunch of fault codes (no oil level data, engine power data missing, water in fuel sensor missing data, etc). I checked all the connections to the engine ECU, nothing out of order. Traced some wiring to under...

    Time for a hydraulic fluid change?

    Good idea, thanks. The siphon pump I got from harbor freight immediately broke a fitting so the power suck option is appealing.

    Time for a hydraulic fluid change?

    Yep - for sure. Given its just over the 2000 hour mark I assume none of the 2k service was done. I had a date on the oil filter but no hours, so no clue... Done most everything so far - hydraulic fluid and rear axle are the only ones left. Maybe brake fluid, but probably will just...

    Time for a hydraulic fluid change?

    Yes, Sunbelt rental in FL near the coast. I called a local petroleum company and gave them the JCB fluid standards, after the dealer said they only had it in gallon jugs (or maybe a 55g or IBC tote) at $33 gallon. Local place had Citgo and Mobil equivilents and also their house brand - house...

    1400B Transmission oil change - how to and where to get parts for machine?

    How bad is it leaking? When I deal with radial airplane engines, we just put a catch pan under the engine and pour the oil back in the top when we fly it next :-)
