The mk1 was perhaps the first purpose built machine, from the mid fifties, here fitted with a compressor.
And the mk1 with major loader.
Then the hydra digger...

Re: Earliest JCB
I think I read someone on this forum saying they had an early JCB which was fitted with a petters PH2 I might be wrong but I wouldn't of thought a PH2 would be up to the job, any thoughts anyone?.

Re: Earliest JCB
That digger you are referring to is a JCB 1 which was manufactured in 1963. It only weighed 2.5 tonne hence the Petter PH2. A JCB 1 is early but not as early as a Mk1 Excavator.
