if it could do 40kph then i would swap that for the heap of an eco i have now
on the pallet forks , i have two small bits of conveyor belt cut that go between the fork hinge bottom and the top of the bucket stops the rattling

Our old Powertrain could do near enough 25mph fitted with a turbo engine that revved quite hard! (Did not dot he transmission any favours though)

i have a jcb the same as the one your doung up , its 1990 and i got it for a bargain about a year ago ,the previous owner lent it out and the guy put about 4gallons of water in the hydrolic oil tank by mistake he thout it was oil and it was water , he gave it back to its owner and told him what he did ,the owner thought the water woud knacker the pump and seals so wanted shot of it so i bought it , i took the bung out of the hydrolic tank and drained all the oil i coud out of the hydrolic stem and put 28galls oil back into it changed the filter twice and no damage to pump or seals and i use it most days do you know anything bout the brakes on these machines the brakes are poor ,there is an oil resevoir in the cab built into the side pocket is this for the foot brakes or hand brake , your making a cracking job of your digger
