JCB 3cx

Post #1 by mechman » Mon Oct 10, 2022 6:05 pm

Hy All.
I made an enquiry about brake fluid for my 3cx and was told to use 15 weight hydraulic oil, anyone have any other info on this?
The machine is an 84 reg white cab (I believe) torque converter transmission. The brake fluid reservoirs are behind the steering column.

Hi Norm, yes hydraulic oil is correct, brake fluid will destroy the seals
