I purchased a JCB 426 2008 and when I drove it off the truck I notices that the brakes are not very good. I contacted the gut I bought it from and he said, they never had a problem.
It will stop but nothing like my Cat or Komatsu. Trying to test the pressure but really I don't see much pressure. Wondering if the pump is failing.
If I opened the hoses coming from the pump I should have a lot of pressure, but there isn't much.
Any ideas,anyone have a JCB 426?

Okay. Today I did a pressure test and it seems that is the correct pressure. Now I think it must be worn brake pads. I think I will remove and open one side up.
Does anyone know how thick the pads are supposed to be?
