Well hello all. I'm now in the JCB backhoe owners club. Have had old backhoes before but usually old Fords and a Kioti. Machine has 2 cylinders off for repacking so first rule of business is get battery charged and cylinders reinstalled. Then there's a long list but I'd love to acquire the manuals for the 1400b. Pic is for attn.
[email protected] for email. Any insight or suggestions highly welcome and appreciated. I'm a bobcat owner x 4 but don't hold that against me. Lol

May be able to help. What's your machine number? First order is to check/change the hydraulic filter. Many never get changed and end up rupturing, sending all sorts of nasty debris to the pump.

I just shared a Google-Drive folder I put together for a chap not long ago. If you have trouble accessing them or need something else that will help, let me know.

Good day all,

I have a machine (SN 334036) that I would absolutly love to get any available manuals on. Currently working on a "No Start" issue I beleive to be caused by the start relay not getting full voltage while cranking. Only seeing about 4.5 volts while cranking, on the ignition side of the ignition switch (2 white wires). Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
-Ryan
