Re: jcb 3C II head gasket replacement

Great news. I did finally get it back together and running sweet. One bypass hose leaks badly and I have burst a hose on the backhoe but definitely heading in the right direction.

Re: jcb 3C II head gasket replacement

Hi Guys. I have a similar problem with my 3CII. It runs fine but coolant keeps disappearing and it seems to be gaining oil!! I would be keen to get your opinions on how and where this transfer might be taking place. Regards from down under. Simon

Re: Jcb 3D mk2

Hi Mark. Following your progress with interest. I have to confess I think I would have given up before now. Looking at your recent photos I was wondering if the Max trac axle can be retro fitted to the Mark II. Keep up the great work. Simon

Re: Komatsu D10S
