Bringing back memories

Just a little heads up to all of our followers:

Some of our admin team will be out of the office from 1st June and will be returning to the office on 15th June. During this time, replies may be a little slower than usual and there won’t be any social media posts going out either - so if we go a little quiet, don’t worry, we haven’t disappeared! 🤗

Thank you for your patience and support, and we’ll be back very soon!

‼️ FOR SALE - JCB 3CX P8 1993 ‼️
With 8991 hours on the clock (and working).

This machine is not your normal 3CX of this age. We’ve put it through the workshop just over 12 months ago and done more work since to it. Including:

•Refurbished front axel
•New brakes
•Seals
•New king post
•Many new hoses
•Extra dig wear pads
•Mud guards fitted
•Quick hitch fitted
•Tool box
•Service
•New battery etc

The list goes on but has made a fantastic machine.

It has been working 5-7 days a week for the last 12 months by an excellent owner operator, who’s now upgraded to a more modern machine - hence the sale of this one. It’s slightly more money than your average machine, but it’s not an average machine with the amount of money spent on it. It can go to work tomorrow.

£17,950

🚨 MF50B FOR SALE 🚨

Something of a real time warp - this machine is in fantastic, mainly original condition. I drove it around the yard myself and it instantly put a big smile on my face. I’d never driven one before, but somehow it just feels great.

A great machine to either keep as it is for shows, or use. What you see is what you get - it also seems to have some sort of quick hitch on the front shovel.

£6,750 + VAT

JCB Gravedigger is up and running again 💪🔧

It’s been stood for many years after an incomplete refurb, but we’re now rebuilding the machine back to a good working standard. Next step will be to strip and paint, as most of the parts came in a box.

Good to see it back in action! 🙌

Recently sold to a repeat customer - early white cab in great all-round condition. 🤩

Prepping doors and windows before it heads off so they work as they should.

Recently sold 3CX Jubilee to a valued customer.

Brought into the paint shop for a polish, after being painted 6 years ago and it’s come up looking as good as new 🧼✨

Sad to see it go, but great to know it’s off to make someone else just as happy.

We’ve been a bit quiet on our socials lately… but here’s why 👀🔧

A look at what’s been keeping us busy in the workshop recently:

1. Interior and cab nearly complete - wings and lights all connected and working. Just the roof left before it’s ready to be lifted onto its shazzy mounts.
2. A Ford 655D in for a light refurb. A fantastic example of a machine that’s still as capable today as ever.
3. Drott finished and ready for its customer.
4. Hitachi in for a light makeover, just waiting on the stickers and it’s good to go.
5. Customer’s JCB 3C MK1 in the paint shop, getting prepped and ready for the next stage.
6. A pair of powertrains in the workshop for full restoration.
7. The biggest dumper JCB ever made out of their 3 models, 35CWT, in with us for restoration.
8. Lister P2 engine fully refurbished, ready to be stripped back and painted.
9. Another Lister P2 engine just about to start its refurbishment.
10. Ford 7810 tractor engine fully rebuilt, now with an added turbo.
11. And finally - our apprentice Sam, very chuffed with his new Snap-on toolbox delivered early this week😄🧰

Plenty more to come…so make sure to keep an eye out!
