I've got space, but not capacity/money to shift or break a whole machine, was hoping for a usable hub. I think a local plant dealer is going to get me new bearings l, just have to work out the assembly, as the original was totally mangled.

I wouldn't mind a mini digger and 3t dumper though....

Hello all ,

Can anyone suggest a source for a recon or ready to fit front wheel hub for my JCB 3c mk3 please?

Hi Julian,

Thanks for the link, I'll look them up if I can't get another gauze from my friendly forest plant hire gent!

Afternoon chaps, thanks for your tips, the feed and return were definitely the wrong away around. I swapped them last night, and finally got the last chance filter out of the pump. It was covered in fine rubbish, hmmm hope the pumps ok, as it was on the wrong side, with the fuel going the wrong way....

Thanks Chaps, you're right the inj pump is on the right as viewed from the cab, the lifter on the left. It's a CAV pump, I guess you can tell that as I mentioned that it is a ditributor type? All good stuff, and valued input for getting it sorted out, I will keep persevering!! The coolant is only ve...

PS, how do you thank someone on this, the statistics thing I mean?
