The Young Boy in the Video is my friend Andrew Robertson, who is the son of the gentleman who produced the film. Andrew was 5 years old in 1965 when the film was shot and he is still going strong and lives in Swadlincote in Derbyshire. Andrew remembers the day well and told me that not only was he absolutely shattered having to do several shoots before the film was finalised, but he was also promised a digger toy as a reward but never got one. Wouldn't it be great to get him a visit at JCB in Uttoxeter almost 50 years later to get him a replica toy from Mr Bamford Junior, to make up for his efforts and disappointment back then.
Now that was a great piece of British History by a great British Company who are still British owned and still design and build outstanding equipment. Brought back great memory's of some of the kit I once had the chance to operate. Wonder if that young lad is still on the go today?
@@pairojeans Yes it is important to note that it is still family owned and run but no its run by his son Anthony not his grandson! Anthony's son Jo, who would be the grandson of the founder Joseph, owns Wrightbus in Northern Ireland
I worked to a dealer , loved them great to carry out service and repairs to rugged and reliable. Unfortunately designs are slipping, who would build a telehandler that in order to replace the high pressure fuel pump would require the removal of the engine assembly to access the fixings for it??? Bad design it would be better for those who design equipment consult with those who repair it
Just that shot of the boy scrambling up the bank and the camera pulling so far back would have cost as much in kero for helicopter as would buy you a really high-end drone and 4K camera now. I love drone shots because they make everything look really expensive, having grown up in the era this was made...
Excellent video JCB. If you are ever in touch with the young boy featured in the film some fifty plus years later please remind him of the opening scene where he climbs the big wooden gate heading off on a mission to JCB Land, to watch his favorite machines in action. The gate was open so there was no need for him to climb it in the first place........... Apart from that, what a pioneer in the construction equipment industry Joe Bamford was way back in the 1940's
When i was a child, i used to go away my home to see the excavators around my neighborhood... Bulldozers, loaders, backhoes, skid steers, motor graders, crowler-mounted excavators, etc.... I used to ask for toy excavators as Christmas gifts... My childhood was very epic... :) Greets from Colombia...
I chuckle at seeing this stuff because i started with a gang of Paddy's in 1964 from school and the motto was ''Dig it deep and throw it well back'', there were no machines, on one job there was a small dumper and one night we finished and the boss said don't be late in the morning because the roller is coming at 7 and we need all hands for the tarmac, rumble rumble and at 7.10 a steam roller came around the corner onto the site. I stayed within construction and still run my own company at 75, lots of memories throughout the years but never had one accident on any of my sites, l finished as contracts manager in '88 and started on my own but all our machines are Komatsu.
If you want to see a JCB being woken up from years of standing outside... Marty T channel YT. Abandoned JCB 6D excavator... will it run? Set in picturesque New Zealand bushland...
As a wee boy, I loved building sites. JCB 3c's were the mainstay of building sites. I always called the 3c's "twinshovels" and this will hurt all excavator manufacturers, but even though they were branded JCB or Leibherr, a tracked 360 excavator was always referred to by oh look a JCB hymac or there's a Poclain hymac. Yet hymac were the rivals to JCB when I was a kid.
@@DanMurphy-w3m Yeah I reckon I'll never get out of the habit! I even generalise the JCB to describe the 3c and machines like it! And glad to read I'm not the only one who calls a 360° excavator a hymac no matter the make!

JCB must be the considered the forerunner for modern advertising.. or not. We are used to Red Bull nowadays investing what 40% of the anual turnover or more for events, racing you name it .. but JCB with the dancing diggers, starting way back in the sixties and numerous films which are not cheap using celluloid.. impressive stuff. Can you image using a child to get so close to a construction site nowadays.. Better times
Amazing, I’ve been looking for this film for months ,absolutely love it, growing up and re watching this film so much I wore the video player out as a kid
NEH E is a 1967 Stoke on Trent registration, so its probably a 67 or 68 film. Driving into the factory ,on the cars left is Ryecroft school, only replaced about five years ago.
I have a jcb 1750 loading shovel, been here 40 years. It still works and loads lorries at our quarry, I bet it's the last one left that's still out earning a crust. Have an 808 digger too

Music's a bit urgent isn't it !!! I've 20,000 plus hours on excavators and over 15,000 on backhoe loaders whilst jcb aren't the best at everything they sure as hell beat most of the others !!
My dad bought a JCB 6D , cut my digger teeth on that 6D from 16, I still have my busted knuckles from those cable levers 😂 great machine though 👌🏻😎 the health and safety police would throw a fit at that young boy in the video now 😂

Well love the film , how did they film those Diggers because I don’t think they had Dorones back then, And I bet when that young lad got home his mum played holly hell with him for getting his school uniform dirty
They were innovative at the time but became behind the game in later years, in fact, if it wasn’t for the collaboration with Sumitomo JCB would have gone the way of many British companies.
Correct, that's why they sport CHASESIDE on the bonnet sides, rear and reduction hubs. They took over the company in the mid 60's then brought out the artic models 413 & 418 in the early 70' to replace them, then the bigger 423 & 428 a couple of years later..
They still make great machean their back hoe is still best you can but when u run one their really dream to operate you see you see them in usa but not as often as you should the old back hoe was night mare to get in and out

Don't forget still run by the grandson of founder, and probably the largest family owned business in the UK

The style of filming, the music, the equipment, real people making real things, a different world...I'm born several decades to late....

Great video of the history that's made JCB what it is today, love this era of machines, I grew up around ❤
16:20 I wonder how many windows got broken before someone said to do that somewhere else.
More like buildings broken

In my younger days " JCB " was a generic term for a digger / loader and " Hymac " meant a 360 degree machine of any make

Today's kids would have died before they made it halfway to the job site
👍🤣
Lucky for them, they have multiple lives as they are playing it on there games console, go outside, are you mad!!!
Lmao
Investment,development and a dedicated and proud workforce have made JCB a Great British company that still pushes forward with great innervation.
As a boy this is so true we love watching construction machines 😅
Awesome ❤❤❤ love to see the video... always JCB... the GREATEST DIGGER EVER.... congratulations JCB... from Portugal
That was quite simply one of the best jcb films I have seen , I wish I had a time machine 😂😂 big fan.
Loader and excavator truck!
Stick welding at its best in manufacturing. 👍👍
Quality that could give some of todays machines a run for there money
I still have a 3cmk2 in regular use ,tough beyond belief.
Love JCB Donkey jacket and overalls
Great history, have you got any old archive videos of the power slide era812,814 era…

These kinds of videos are gold
I spend whole childrenship watching these machine working...
Amazing, I’ve been looking for this film for months ,absolutely love it, growing up and re watching this film so much I wore the video player out as a kid
@JCB great film love to see more like this.
I wonder if that young lads driving a JCB today!

NEH E is a 1967 Stoke on Trent registration, so its probably a 67 or 68 film.
Driving into the factory ,on the cars left is Ryecroft school, only replaced about five years ago.
The spoil should be 3 meters away from the hole
Good stuff,
Cool😃

JCB lacks power and durability in their current machines. They are comfortable though.
Absolutely fantastic video 😊
Would there be anything other than Perkins 6354s powering most of that gear ?
Early machines had Ford and bmc diesels
@@gypseygeoffbmc 4/98 was used right up till the 3cx ,in fact the first of them still had bmc engines .
Is that an excavator with a telescope arm??
Power slide if memory serves me correctly.
This boy is like me who loves the jcb most I have 4 jcb 3dx backhoe loder
Music's a bit urgent isn't it !!! I've 20,000 plus hours on excavators and over 15,000 on backhoe loaders whilst jcb aren't the best at everything they sure as hell beat most of the others !!
I only ever climbed over a gate at the wrong end ONCE ...I got my head chewed by an old farmer !...
New machine JCB India
I'm a Hymac man through and through and no fancy hollywood movie is going to change that.👊
You said it !
Them and their modern music and their high tech " down, down, down,.... STOP !!! " control systems
My dad bought a JCB 6D , cut my digger teeth on that 6D from 16, I still have my busted knuckles from those cable levers 😂 great machine though 👌🏻😎 the health and safety police would throw a fit at that young boy in the video now 😂

Back then, aerial shots were done from a helicopter.
Perhaps you should disable advertisements just viewed a Cat ad while watching

Show this to jcb and see if they can learn to make good equipment again. Last 10 years has been awful
it looks as a video from the 40's & 50"s, very unclear
60s
I need the manual jcb 4cx in Spanish please give me it ❤
Dont think these antiqueted wheel loaders is JBC design
Correct, that's why they sport CHASESIDE on the bonnet sides, rear and reduction hubs. They took over the company in the mid 60's then brought out the artic models 413 & 418 in the early 70' to replace them, then the bigger 423 & 428 a couple of years later..

“The worlds greatest range of excavators and loading shovels”…that’s a bit of a stretch but this is a great old video!
They still make great machean their back hoe is still best you can but when u run one their really dream to operate you see you see them in usa but not as often as you should the old back hoe was night mare to get in and out
