Re: Jcb 3c
I may be pointing out the obvious, but better safe than sorry; that plate below the suction filter is the bottom of the hydraulic tank, so drain the fluid before removing, or you will have a flood of biblical proportions. I think there's supposed to be over 100 liters there (at least in the entire s...

Re: Anything Whitlock ( Diggers, dump trucks, cranes et al )
Isn´t this simply a pre-force Ford 1000 series front end? See f.x. this https://heritagemachines.com/wp-content/uploads/Pic-3-22.jpg picture (found in this https://heritagemachines.com/tractors/a-famous-ford-5000-tractor/ article), showing the difference between post- and pre-force Ford 5000. -- Bes...

Re: Tyre sizes
My best guess is that these are two different methods of indicating aspect ratio, i.e. the ratio of the tyre height to width. If this is correct, your original tyre has an aspect ratio of 12/12.5 = 96%, and your proposed replacement has a height of 12.5*80% = 10 inches, meaning a diameter four inche...

Re: my first ever winget dumper how to start it???
I'm using both decompressors and only throwing one hoping it will catch. This doesn't work, ime. You have to throw both levers. Are you aware of the "cold start" on these engines? You pull out the stop lever and allow it to rotate back (further away from the stop position). This allows a ...

Re: JCB 3MkII Wiring For Lights
I *think* that the reflector that John is referring to is just the light base, though judging by your photos it is not doing much reflecting any more. If it is a metal part and has the guides that hold the bulb in place, it should do the job as John described, though you may need to clean it up just...

Re: B250 Fuel problem
The fuel filter was bypassed when I got it ... Ouch. Okay, here is my recommended procedure: Step 1: (Not essential, but if it were me it would give me immense satisfaction.) Get hold of this previous owner and give him a thorough slapping and a "Do not *DO* that to innocent machinery." S...

Re: Massey 35x - a few questions
When I was a kid we had an old grey diesel Fergie on the farm. From the sound if it, that used the same hydraulic arrangement. For front loader work a couple of links were fitted between the top of the 3-point hitch to the lifting arms, so that they were fixed in a mid position. The front loader was...

Re: thwaites 4 tonne year 2000 forward & reverse spool valve
I'm not familiar with your machine, but I would expect one coil to be energized for forward, and the other for reverse. From the photos it appears that the connectors are the same, so one experiment would be to swap them. This should make the selector lever work "backwards". If the machine...

Re: JCB 3CII starter solenoid connection
A bit of googling turned up this . It's a part of the service manual for Ford 2720 industrial engines, but it includes a detailed description of the Lucas M50 starter. The takeaway is: 1. Yes, the motor actually does have two positive terminals (the bolt on the side of the body and the pigtail comin...
