Page 151 of operators manual attached AWEM It looks just like my 1990 Grey Cab which is a 'project 7' Mine is machine number 360536 so if yours is close to that it's probably the same. Workshop manuals are impossible to find until you discover that the manual title is actually 'Backhoe Loader" ...

It looks just like my 1990 Grey Cab which is a 'project 7' Mine is machine number 360536 so if yours is close to that it's probably the same. Workshop manuals are impossible to find until you discover that the manual title is actually 'Backhoe Loader" and covers both 3CX and the 1400's sold to ...

Well I started with JCB head office in Rocester, but they insisted I deal with the local franchais, who are quoting £270 for a workshop manual !!!!!!! (plus VAT of course)

Has anyone access to a wiring diagram for the grey cab Project 7 1990 3cxs? I would appreciate a copy if anyone has - all reasonable expenses re-imbursed naturally. Ideally Id like to get hold of a workshop manual, but the only source Ive found so far is the local JCB dealer who wants almost what I ...
