JCB 3CX Front Bucket

[essexpete]

Good evening all

Does anyone know or could let me know the dimensions of the pins and mounting plates on a JCB 3cx front bucket (have they remained the same over the years)? I am particularly interested in the width between the the two inner pin mounting plates if that makes sense.

Thanks
Peter

Might have got some dims and a sketch in my file, I'll have a look when I get to work.

what age off machine as will measuere the spacing but the pin is not 45mm diameter but just under as it is an imperal size

 

[essexpete]

Yes the older machines imperial. I really need the inner plates that the pins go through.

 

[Hard Graft]

i will do that but my bucket has quite a bit off play in the pins

ps are you making your own head stock for it as it is the best thing i have ever done as it is so much more usefull

I have a daft idea of mounting it on a manitou types carriage.

Manitou brackets fit exactly on our 2012 bucket.

Just measured mine Pete. It's 28 1/2 '' wide. The pins are 44.5 mm or 1 3/4".

Scrap that, My drawing is for the back buckets. Seems like you are sorted now anyhow.

 

[essexpete]

Thank you all very much for your time. Orra loon that looks just the job. I will check Agrimax's dimensions as well. I miss a 4in1 since selling our old powertrain years ago.

If your mounting it on the LM and or sanderson or infact any telehandler! Do not try grading back wards with it, you crack the swan necks on the booms as they are not designed for strength when pushing down and dragging back wards.

Thanks Ace I will bear that in mind. The Sanderson has done loads of backgrading in the past but never with too much weight applied. Easier than the NH with a bit of wear in the linkage!

Sanderson swan neck is a far bit stronger than the LM

 

[essexpete]

Sanderson swan neck is a far bit stronger than the LM

That is terrible! The LM is rated more capacity and arguably a slightly more modern design.

Got the attached from an ex work colleague who also copied the entire folder of measurements same as I did. I must have missed a page though!! A bit late but it seems to confirm the 28-1/2" above though.

A very useful drawing. Thanks.
Could be useful for others on here.

No problem, I have various drawings of various loaders etc. My now defunct former employers had a range of buckets and attachments they made and a folder made up over several years of measurements etc. Happy to help others out if I can, just ask!

Blatant plug/thread hijack warning!!

I also have a sideline of supplying some weld on brackets.

Thanks for that,

Hi I know I am dragging up an old post but would be interested in the drawings/ measurements for a jcb 3c as I think there are similar but slightly different. Thanks
