    JCB ISO SAE change over option

    There is also a JCB dealer, Cardoze y Lindo (formerly CAT Rep), I have stopped dealing with them 4 years ago. Last time was when I sent a solenoid and the spool with my wife to Panama City. They looked at it and told my wife they had no idea what this could be. After living here for 20 years I...

    JCB ISO SAE change over option

    Actually I ordered the 60 hoses from England, so I got the originals. Due to the covid crap it took 4 months to complete the order. Then the supplier shipped via DHL and it took only 3 days from England to Panama City. Freight cost for a 58 kg box $ 700.00. Then another $ 350.00 to clear customs...

    JCB ISO SAE change over option

    I ordered about 60 hydraulic hoses for my excavator. I used the piping schematics to get the part numbers. Now that I am installing the new hoses, I realized that I completely omitted the hoses for the change over circuit. It is extremely difficult for me to place an order for the missing hoses...

    JCB 8032 Slew and other problems

    I have checked with the manufacturer of the valves in Italy and was told that they can not sell to me because this block is a "JCB" block. Kind of a vicious circle, like JCB protecting their distributors.

    JCB 8032 Slew and other problems

    Hi Jeff, it is 05:15 and I wish I would not have started my PC this early. I am working in the jungle and basically have no access to anything. Just to get a hydraulic fitting is a round trip of 1.5 days and spending a night in a hotel. I know that you are right, but what you are telling me...

    JCB 8032 Slew and other problems

    Hi and thanks again. It appears that I would have to remove the fuel tank to get to the pump. No big deal as this is only 2 bolts. Am I correct that this part of the pump is the gear pump and not the piston pump? I was afraid that there was no easy way to find the check valves. I am starting...

    JCB 8032 Slew and other problems

    Hi Jeff and thank you. The serial # SLP08032E08999777 I have replaced one of the cross line relief valves with a brand new one, cost GBP 480.00 ($ 615.00). I have 2 of those and the drawings show 2 on one of them and only one on the other. JCB confirmed that my machine only had one, but there...

    JCB 8032 Slew and other problems

    It seems that one of the pump stages has a problem putting out only 45 bar. This affects the dozer, slew, swing and dipper boost. interestingly the slew will work slowly on higher rpm and accelerate when I engage the boom-up service just enough that the boom is not really moving fast. This...

    JCB 8032 pressure settings

    Thank you jcb jeff, the information you provided was really helpful and is much appreciated. I could not reply any sooner as I was at the Island where I am using the excavator. I don't have internet access there. No machine shop, no nothing. Just dirt and heavy equipment. I have to repair...

    JCB 8032 pressure settings

    I found the pressure specs in my repair manual. Don´t know how many times I have used the manual by now, but never realized that the specs are right on the page before the hydraulic schematics. From what I can tell the return oil from the rams is going through the valves before they get to the...

    JCB 8032 pressure settings

    Thank you Jeff, the year is 2005, 1780 hrs, and the serial no. is SLP08032E08999777. I am ordering the relief cartridge for the PMV as well. If I go through the trouble of cleaning everything again I want to adjust PMV relief cartridge and all the arvs to the correct pressures, but have no idea...

    JCB 8032 pressure settings

    Does anybody know the settings for the relief valves, the servo pressure, dipper boost dump valve etc..? My repair manual has all the necessary instructions on how to check and if necessary adjust the valves, but they give no pressure specs. They point to the technical data, which is nowhere...

    JCB 8032 slew and swing

    The excavator occasionally switched from slew to swing by itself in the past. Pushing the slew - swing button had no effect. We were able to get it back into slew mode only by turning the ignition off and starting the machine again. This always worked in the past but now it is permanently in...

    jcb 3208 ignition problems

    The problem seems to be solved and it was not anything that I was chasing all these weeks. I purchased a 12V drop light with alligator clips. Connected the negative directly to the battery and got my positive from the ignition "ON" circuit. The light came on as did the lights on the control...

    jcb 3208 ignition problems

    I want to thank all of you for your suggestions. I have made an error in my machine model it is not a model 3208 but a model 8032, mini exc. 3.2 t. Regardless the electric principals should be the same. All replies are pointing in the same direction and I did have an issue when checking the...

    jcb 3208 ignition problems

    I have had starting problems over the last several months. Now the control panel does not even light up any more. I have installed a new battery, checked all the fuses, had the starter checked etc. I get 12.3V to the ignition switch and as soon as I turn the ignition on the power collapses to...
