The back axle need to have an oil suitable for wet brakes so they don't vibrate. Jasus mate, you're getting after it there Sorry for all the questions but hope somebody can give me a bit of advice. My neighbour also has a more recent 3cx and he noticed the other day that there was lots of water in I think what you call the Slew after unscewing a bolt in the center under the slew actuator? Is it standard procedure to drain off this water(condensation? Rain entering the to of the kingpin?) every now and then or should this not even be there? Does the slew use the same hydraulic all as the rest of the system?
#1989 jcb 3cx sitemaster transmission fluid type manual#
The manual also recommends JCB HD90 GEAR OIL for the front axel and JCB SPECIAL GEAR OIL for the rear? I have tried to determine which fluid is in the gearbox just by unscrewing slightly the drain plug and it seems to be red ATF Dexron (orange/red colour on a white rag, distinctive smell) but I know this may not necessarily be right and have heard online lots of people say the dexron is not good for jcb machines, others say it does not matter? This is the reason for asking on this forum. The manual reccommends 18lt + of JCB special transmission fluid for the transmission for machines from 320000 but no specs/cross reference, any idea what is the best choice apart from the jcb oil as I am in rural France ? I would also like to change the front axel, hub torque converters and rear axel oil. I will then change most of the hydraulic oil (empty reservoir) so again any expert tips greatly appreciated! I also need to change the seals in the two top front bucket rams as they leak quite bad but the 56mm (I think from memory) nut seems incredibly tight! Just to confirm if it is a normal, not reverse thread? Are they thread locked? Is a 90cm (140mm jaws) pipe wrench suitable for removal of these type of nuts (if flat jaws were made to stop any damage to the actual nuts)? Would you reccommend putting a scale cleaner through first or could this cause more problems do you think? Any tips on changing the collant would be much appreciated. I am waiting for new water hoses to arrive and will change these with the coolant. I have already changed the engine oil, filter, two fuel filters and hydraulic filter but would like to drop the gearbox oil which I think is the same oil which flows into the torque converter? This I am sure is drained seperately via a small drain plug ? This version has a manual gearbox/clutch with the forward/reverse stalk which I think you call the shuttle reverser. I have done a bit of restoration to get her looking more like new and protected from the winter elements but would just like a bit of info on the correct fluids to use please.

I have recently aquired a 1990 JCB 3cx 4x4 turbo backhoe (grey cab, project 7 I think?) for our self build project which is my first piece of plant machinery. Mobil Type F ATF is not recommended for automatic transmissions in Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, American Motors, or any other cars requiring a Dexron-II, Dexron-IIE, Dexron-III or Mercon-approved fluid, or for those Ford products requiring an M2C 138CJ (Type CJ) fluid or an M2C 166H (Type H) fluid.Hello all, this is my first post so be kind For anti-wear requirements of Sperry Vickers industrial hydraulic systems where low wear in the ASTM D 2882 vane pump test is the principal criterion.For the makeup and refill in power steering systems of the following Ford vehicles:ġ980 and older Lincoln, Continental, and Mark ġ978 and older models of all other Ford cars, vans, and light trucks.In addition, this type of ATF is specified for some Ford power steering systems. Automatic transmissions in certain older Toyota, Mazda, Volvo, and other imported vehicles that require an ESW-M2C33-F fluid.Mobil Type F ATF is recommended by ExxonMobil for use in applications requiring Type F fluid as follows: Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F covers this type of product, which is commonly referred to as "Type F" fluid.Īll 1976 and earlier Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models of cars, vans, and light trucks Īll 1977-1980 models having either ESW-M2C33-F or no number at all stamped on the transmission dipstick All Ford transmissions built prior to 1977, and certain models that continued in use during 1977-1980, were designed for a high-friction fluid that allowed the shifting clutches to lock up or engage quickly. The frictional characteristics of an automatic transmission fluid are an important factor in the design and operation of the transmission. Mobil Type F ATF is an automatic transmission fluid which is made from high quality base oils with viscosity index improvers, antioxidants, anti-wear agents, defoamants and special additives to provide the controlled frictional characteristics of a Type F fluid in automatic transmission applications.
