I am sure our old 3Cs were on castle nut with taper rollers so quite easy to adjust. You have similar tyres on the front to those we used. Not best steering, particularly if a bit slippery but carried weight over the ground so much better than the skinny usual type.

Hi Marcus,
Pete is quite right, but in my experience if they are set up right they don't need further adjustment unless there is something wrong.
Anyway its the usual thing ,tighten the nut then back it off about one flat to fit the split-pin.

Re: my new jcb 3dmk3
hello old machinery guys
so i found the first leak
its the first hose from the pump to the filter
it leaks exacttly at the fitting connecting the rubber hose
with the on the frame welded hose.
first i will try 2 tight this fitting i guess and if this does not help
i will nedd to repace it
afaik it has partnumber 617/20400
so my querstion is: is there a hydraulic pressure in this part of the system
when the machine is turned off - is there a chance that i drain my hydrochassis when i try to
replace that hose?
i took a picture for better overview

Re: my new jcb 3dmk3
Markus I am in the process of replacing lots of low pressure hydraulic hoses on the old Poclain excavator that I will one day set about restoring; technically if the machine has been stood a while there should be no pressure left in the system but it does not hurt to operate the controls with the engine switched off the relieve any pressure that is left in the system.
As for your other point then I would guess that you would lose your hydraulic oil if you take the pipe off so the only two answers to this are; either drain off the oil or find a bung of the same thread and quickly insert it where the pipe was fitted to the chassis as you remove the pipe which is what I have done on the Poclain where hydraulic oil freely flows through the hose that I have been replacing.
Remember you may need to block both sides of the hose to prevent oil loss I doubt very much that tightening the hose would cure the leak, it is also better to replace old hoses because if they blow under pressure then you would lose your oil so my advice is to replace them.
I would also look at the state of the hydraulic oil and if it is creamy in colour then it is usually contaminated with water so it may be worth changing the oil while your at it; yes with old machines one job leads directly to the next but you will get there in the end.
