Definitely not in my opinion... send it backIs it normal or accepted practice to need to put shims between the axle and the chassis on a new machine to level it up?

Swan Vestas?
shims on a new vehicle chassis to level it up? when we had the last steel framed barn put up a few years back, the foundation pads were put in with a laser level and all the stantions made to suit, when the erectors came to put the frame up, they used thin pieces of steel plate to level up a few of the stantions ? Not much at all, but i was quite impressed at the attention to detail? Now a JCB, its not like the frame been made by the local blacksmith ? But in a multimillion pound factory with the latest precisiion engineering tools and jigs? I would like a comment from someone from JCB or anyone with experience of largescale manufacturing?

It would almost be easier if it was your old one. No, it was newdid you buy it brand new or did it have a few hours on? Could be the one I sent back
Can you remember what the tolerances where? Was it an industry recognised figure or one that JCB just happened to decide upon??They are allowed a certain amount of tolerance was the spill I was given when it happened to me,not being funny but I don’t spend 55k on a machine to have some bits of metal off a workshop bench chucked in to level it up

Sounds bizarre to me. I might accept a trailer with the axel shimmed up a bit, but not something like a JCB.They are allowed a certain amount of tolerance was the spill I was given when it happened to me,not being funny but I don’t spend 55k on a machine to have some bits of metal off a workshop bench chucked in to level it up
