hi
im a new member here from near selby east yorks uk and i intend to restore my trusty JCB 3C mk11 1979 i think. shes been in the family a long time as worked hard and been very reliable and now deserves some tlc, the main problem is the back actor pins and bushes are worn and wondered if anyone can adivise the best way of repair. also the cab needs quite a bit of work to bring it back to scratch. the engine BMC was rebuilt about four years ago and is mechanically sound the brakes need a look at. hydraulics seem ok. any help / information regarding rebuild methods or parts suppliers etc would be appreciated. thank you in advance. Roland

Greetings Roland and a big welcome to CMN :thumbup:

Do you think its a mk3 rather than a mk2, as the mk2 was superseded by the mk3 in 1977 ?
