Throttle cable replacement day on my JCB telehandler.

Oh how I laughed when I read the service manual and I quote:-
'Access to the cab end of the cable is limited. Access can be improved by removing the cab front panel'
Oh how I laughed when I had to take the fuel tank off to just get a distant peak at the job in hand.
I had to make yet another 'special' spanner (we've all got one or many!)...:rolleyes:

You'll get an insight into working on jcb's if you ever get a look in the toolbox in a jcb fitters van. More modified spanners etc than you can imagine.
