What in the heck is wrong with JCB parts book?

[tpitt]

I have a 1995 JCB 214 series 2 backhoe. Serial 3 SLP214CSE0433511 I need a 45mmX330mm pin for the dipper ram (rod end). I had the dipper cylinder rebuilt and am replacing the pins and bushings. I have all the proper bushings and seals, but the rod end takes a 45mmX330mm pin. I have a parts book and it always points to a 50mm pin. THIS WILL NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!! The seals and bushings are 45mm and already installed. They fit perfectly as does my old pin.

Is any manual, parts or otherwise, ever really perfect? Here's a nice excerpt from the Case 580C service manual when reinstalling the Shuttle, that I hope no one has ever followed word for word, I sure didn't.

"Before installing the power shuttle, make two guide studs by cutting the heads off two 7/16"-NC x 6" bolts and cut a screwdriver slot in each side of the converter housing."

To be more specific about your issue though, I see the online parts manual lists 4 different Rams for the dipper. A HighLift, then Standard D, both use a 50mm busing/pin, then there are 2 more Standard D that are for Rest of World and USA Build, and those have the 45mm busing/pin.

Can you pleas send me a picture? Mine is USA extradig. We've came to the conclusion that mine has bosse's on it so it takes a longer pin. I've never been able to find a 45mm pin in my schemati9cs. I'll try and attach a picture!

Been there done that. I was able to get the right bushings and seals, but the pin they call for won't work. I have one here! Appreciate the help though. I'm going to call JCB tomorrow.
