    ‘84 JCB 1550B Backhoe

    Thanks for y’all’s advice, and input. I took the spool apart on the rear bucket, and the lower retainer that holds the spring up, was shot! Nobody had one, and it being Memorial Day, I ran to my shop, and made one on my lathe. I cleaned everything, got it back together, and it’s working great...

    ‘84 JCB 1550B Backhoe

    Thanks for helping. It has 6 controls and valves. That spring action for centering the valve is what it seems it’s lost. I’ll have to disassemble it and see what’s going on inside.

    ‘84 JCB 1550B Backhoe

    Hello, new to this forum! I’ve recently pick up a ‘84 JCB 1550B 2wd backhoe, it’s been working great on all the hydraulics, until yesterday when the rear bucket was working fast in both directions, but the movement reaching out seems to slow way down. It feels like under the lever, going into...

    Hello, name is Tim Bradham. I’ve recently bought 8 acres to build our dream home/garage. I also bought a ‘84 JCB 1550B 2WD Backhoe, to help in clearing the property. It would not move when I purchased it, which I knew. Ended up who I bought from, her Dad drained all the hydraulics, to include to...
