Re: Which model Thwaites is this?

Could the ‘060T’ part mean 0.060”?

Re: Which model Thwaites is this?

Many thanks Fowler man (and Cobbadog),I didnt realise oversize piston rings meant oversize pistons. You guys have fantastic knowledge of it all, damn impressive, and apologies if I sounds clueless! I cant see anything obvious on the pistons, but the better one has ‘BLPN090105N060T 4E JF’, then ‘CAMS...

Re: Which model Thwaites is this?

Thanks Cobba, you are the second person that said they thought standard size, and as the wear isnt that bad I think I’ll go with that. Thanks for the ring gap info too. Right, better get on and order the bits then :) . Cheers for now. :wave:

Re: Which model Thwaites is this?

Been a while,apologies boys, :shock: , and have progressed a little more with the engine. I’ve freed off both gudgeons pins and cleaned them all up, and also discovered one of the valve guides was broken due to a bent valve, but cant think if its inlet or outlet without looking :? . So I’ll buy new....

Re: Jcb 3c2 front loader bucket ram?

Thats a darn good idea, would save a lot of hassle once its built wouldnt it?. Dont think it would be too hard to build either, especially if you could get hold of an old rusted out or damaged front bucket that could be chopped up for the basic chassis with the brackets still on it? Another project ...

Re: Jcb 3c2 front loader bucket ram?

Really? Thanks Pete! Hope you’re right ;). Weird though, as the other ram went in and out fine into thin air, while this one just sat looking pretty! :)
All the best Pete.

Jcb 3c2 front loader bucket ram?

Hi folks, Been doing a few jobs on my 3c2 the last few weeks, (meaning my house, dumper and other projects are on the list to do!). One of them being welding up a 6 foot wide forklift backplate, for moving treetrunks etc, that fits on inplace of the front bucket. Boy what a fiasco! Wish I’d got hold...

Re: Which model Thwaites is this?

Thanks Cobba, Will do as you set and get a hole new set of rings for each piston, and have seen them for 25 quid a piston,so pretty reasonable price eh . Its a Lister ST2 by the looks of it, no ID plate is a shame, but I have some calipers so will make sure of size before I order anything. Its all s...

Re: Which model Thwaites is this?

Ha! I’ve dodged a few nutters in my time, and glad I did too. Fingers crossed a keeper turns up soon. Got the pistons out without too much hassle, no broken rings either, apart from one was missing a ring below the gudgeon pin?! (Although a friend said that some masseys had pistons minus certain rin...

Re: Which model Thwaites is this?

Thanks Cobba! Definately glad to know what I’m dealing with now thats for sure. Yep, we have a few toys too, an old zetor tractor, jcb 3c2, chieftain mini digger, few old landrovers needing reincarnating! And now 3 old dumpers too. And a few old lister powered mixers/sawbench. I love old gear, seems...
