when did the jcb mini excavators come out I remember as a kid having a joal model of a jcb 801 but ive never seen a real one

I have an early brochure for the 802 dated 1984 so must have been early 1980's then. I also remember reading somewhere that this machine wasn't a JCB design either, but a re-badged Kubota? Since I can't find the source of that information, I can't vouch for it but it wouldn't surprise me too much since it was JCB's first attempt to break into that market.

The 802 had a Kubota engine and running gear, the rest was JCB. Production ended in 1985/6 due to low sales and reliability problems.
JCB re-entered the market in 1989 with the JCB 801.

Paint aside, that looks very straight and tidy from the photos.

It is, but its stood for a while and needs a bit TLC but could be a good little machine
