@filming tractors and plant, that's a great digger you have there. I own a 1988 3CX black cab myself and it's the best purchase I've ever made. I can't wait to see what you do to this beauty. Meet your new subscriber.😉👍
Hi yes we've always thought this generation of 3cx's are the best ones they've made , there will be another video on this machine soon as we are in the process of sourcing a new cab frame thanks for subbing.
First new digger i had was a F reg grey cab 2wd sitemaster, was the easiest 3cx to drive, not at all jerky and smooth , still had the rack and pinion slew.
Hi regarding your question in our experience the usual culprit is the thermostat sticking shut u can remove it entirely if absolutely required but i would suggest just blowing out the rad and running a rad flush though it while changing the coolant this usually works but these machines are not the greatest on the roads unfortunately.
Greetings from Russia. It will also be very interesting to watch how you restore it. What are the problems with the availability of spare parts for old tractors in the store
Hi regarding your question the parts availability is quite good for these machines as they are still common and have decent interchangeability parts with newer machines but it will all be secondhand parts from breakers as that is the best value.
Hi john yes we've just seen it, would be great to see you and catch up when your down, weather is awful here the last couple of weeks endless rain and seas of mud lol. sorry to hear the disco is played up. dad always had a old saying when i had gear blowing up " Gear never blows up in the shed" lol i think it was his way of trying to smooth it over at the time, will give you a call over the weekend and have a proper catch up. regards steve
Hi, i have a 1990 3cx turbo, any ideas why it's blowing white smoke out of the exhaust(here's a video of it look after the first minute because in the first half of the video you can't see it : ruclips.net/video/LAOeaFjStc0/видео.html ). There's not much smoke at idle but as i rev the engine higher there's more. It has new air filters and fuel filter, the turbo seems to be fine and it doesen't seem to burn any oil(the level stays the same) it also starts up very easily so compression should be ok. A lot of people have told me it could be fuel related, should i get the injectors serviced? Is there something that could be wrong with the fuel injection pump??
Hi there from your description it would seem that your problem is a faulty injector due wear or dirt in the fuel system I would have the injectors cleaned and refurbished first which should be a easy task as it requires no major dismantling and is much easier , cheaper and quicker than for the pump as that will need retiming after being refitted if that does not solve the issue then will be the pump but I would recommend doing the injectors first
@@filmingtractorsandplant9902 Thanks for the response, apart from that is there a chance it could be a headgasket issue? So basicaly the smoke would be steam? It seems very unlikely to me since you can see the smoke pretty much pulsing with rpms but i guess i'll find out after servicing the injectors. Also i forgot to mention at idle some times it sounds like it runs a bit rough so i think you are right about the injectors. By the way some people tell me the smoke is to be expected with an old machine but yours looks like it doesen't put out any, or at least any white smoke, i'm i right? Thanks a lot again for the response!
@@SavageTech hi yes if it was head gasket related it would over heat quickly and your coolant level would slowly drop the best way to test if it's a injector to fault would be start the machine then disconnect the fuel line from the pump to each injector one at a time whilst the other 3 are still connected it will run worse because one injector wont be working but if it stops smoking when a certain injector is disconnected then that should indicate if its a injector and the one that is faulty also yes most machines this age do smoke but not usually white
@@filmingtractorsandplant9902 Thanks a lot i will try that. It's safe to disconnect the injectors while running right? I mean there's no way i can cause any issues by doing that right?

That engine sounds unbelieveably good.
Great to see I had the 2 wheel drive model of the same year .
Perfect for light restoration, i would make the cab watertight for a start. Lovely machine
Good see a bit of cornwall and a good old digger hope everyone is well down your way!
Yea hope your well as well I like your new camera I might have the get one myself
Thought it sounded like he was from Cornwall! Bleedy ansum!

You sound very emotional about this, did this have some sort of emotional attachment to you?
Looking forward to see more videos of this machine as there's not many white cabs on RUclips good look with your restoration👍😀
Hi Benny we are planning to do a small series on the restoration when get the time to work on it
Did you purchase the machine ? It’s now in north Devon and I’m trying to chase its history.
Great video would love to but a digger like that to restore
Good tight yoke
4 and 1 bucket pays for admission price alone very nice unit
SUPER VIDEO JCB
I could do with that JCB as we have loads of brambles around most of our fields.
Seams to all work well. Just needs some tlc
Is this digger still in use now. After the engine
I’d say it’s a ex pole planting machine ? With the brackets on the top off jack legs for a fram up the back off cab ?
Hi yes we were thinking the same thing as we've had someone else suggest that unfortunately we don't know the full history of the machine
Conozco bastante estas máquinas, tuve una igual que pena me da verla en ese estado.
Seems ok. Did you buy it ?
Cant wait to see the project and maybe get some tips for my digger. How cure for it overheating on the road?

Va assolutamente restaurata jcb 3cx

Hi Are there mechanisms and heavy equipment ready to work for sale and export to Iraq? I buy from you
What's it worth 2 to 3k?
CORRIGEEN71 as long as it doesn’t have much leaks and stuff it could go $10000 $15000 $7000 low
The number plate would be worth a few quid
Rich L Not worth anything non transferable
What is the model of this jcb please?
It’s. JCB 3cx
