Joe, just head for Burdens in Aberdare, you'll see it on your left. I almost got flattened by a Volvo A25c tanker when i was in the works Transit tipper.

They are nice looking machines i'll give them that, the Ec140d looks the business. We've just got an 8 ton Volvo in work, i'll be very interested to see how we get on with it. On a Js145 Jcb atm and i find her a dream to use so cant complain, grades like silk and is extremely good on fuel even on fu...

Havent they got a nice EC700d you can play on Joe?

Martyn,

Have you never considered restoring a JCB 3C or something similar? I can imagine the standard to which you'd get it to.

Ashley.

Mr Rive!

Have you managed to make any progress with your little progress? I miss your updates hugely, still visit the site regularly only to be disappointed you havent updated the thread!

Best wishes,
Ashley.

Gavin, I've spent a little bit of time on a Hitachi 7 tonner with a Knuckle Boom, and this was controlled by a pedal on the floor, along with the revs. You have to have your foot on the pedal in order to rev the machine, and then change pedals to operate the boom, which means you do this with no rev...

Any updates Mark? Ive been waiting patiently

Ashley.

Good evening gentlemen,

Just added a JS145 to our fleet, needs a few little touch ups to get her looking spot on. Could anyone help me source both the black and yellow Jcb spray paint in the form of a small aerosol can that i can touch the scratches up with?

Many thanks,
Ashley.

Yes, it's veiwable now.

Is it some sort of pre 3c production machine?

Martyn, it should be easy to tell if Paul is selling the rams as his eBay site is actually called Paul Martin Services.
