That Hydra digger looks good Dave .... I know Tim Starkey-Smith restored one, but thats not it is it Dave ? I seem to recall that J.C.Balls bought his

Late fifties ,Hampshire builders new JCB Hydra - Digga Loadall in blue for a change.

Hey Craig, i had a Blue JCB once, it was a JCB 3D, but it did not have red wheels or buckets

Martyn

Sorry Martyn no details on owner - Catalogue was too much money on top of show entry fee. So many of them are poor with little info or show entries have no number on so cannot match up with guide

But it looks an excelent job just wish more owners would put a bit of info up with their machines, so can credit them. Shame could not see in cab fore s/n plate

Canot be many other restored ones about, but a few more will hopefully appear. Wounder if Mike Eacocks got a new project machine for Malvern this year as he won two prizes last year.

Maybe! but it would take some size of mantlepiece to fit a real one on - best go for scale model

The last JCB 3C Mk I leaves the JCB production line in 1968.Fitted with the Nuffield 4/65 skid unit and the Rubery Owen manufactured 4in1 shovel under licence from Drott.

[usedjcbdave]

Its 1963 and a JCB 3C Mk1 has an experimental "futuristic" cab fitted to it as a one off.Made from wood and glass it never saw the light of day.Note the very short dipper and the self levelling loader arms !

[smithhymac]

hi there, almost looks like the dipper can extend? albeit by repositioning pins! regards morgan
