I called Vicary plant and he said , with me being in Cornwall its not worth his while transporting it . So it’s being scrapped .Did not realise how easy it is to remove big parts like back how , bucket etc .. but before I continue does anyone need any parts ? The tyres are very good and I imagine ar...

Yes it’s a powertrain and yes it would be ideal to clear the land if I ever get used to the controls! I’m more comfortable on my new jcb mini digger if I’m honest , if I remember driving the 3c onto site was fun with it being a sloping site and digger not having working brakes ! And what’s with thos...

Anyone got part numbers or details on where I can buy correct parts...also any advice on where I can find a decent maintenance manual ...cheers in advance Steve

No I only tried on an incline with big bucket in front ..was not going to reverse up the lane , was hard enough controlling it forwards as one big tyre was flat ! Lo...

Also I can’t upload pics for some reason , it starts and blue progress line goes a quarter and stays there forever ...
