Is this repairable? JCB3 III

Post #1 by yellow » Thu May 31, 2012 8:36 pm

I've been offered this cheaply - it looks like it has been repaired before, is this repairable do you think?

Yeah the replacement route is the way to go. A dipper is £200 and a dipper ram is £40.

Many thanks to Phil,Martyn, William and Martyn Henley for your invaluable advice, I will add the sums up and make a decision on purchase. Are these parts readily available.

Once again thanks

These parts are very common hence the cheap prices. A 2D/3 boom could be hard to find.

Possibly by lifting rear end with the dipper beyond a critical angle and then the weight of the machine sliding forward? :think:

The pin hasn't been bolted in and the constant working action of the dipper ram has "worked" the pin to slide out of the cuff.
