    1987 JCB 1400B / tech advice /Operators Manual & Parts Book

    I have a ton of stuff that may help. Carlos had a bit of trouble downloading it from my archived stuff off google drive but I'll send/share it fresh off my desktop straight to your Gmail account. Google, because of file size limitations, still sends it via "drive" anyway during upload but...

    Lucas CAV DPA JCB 1400b fuel inj pump cross references??

    Like this one. I'm have to try everything I am capable of doing first as I am the opposite of rich. I never (rarely) attempt a critical step if I feel it's over my head and I have high definition pump schematics and non-BundyBear technical videos from the horses mouth (The CAV Distributor Type...

    Lucas CAV DPA JCB 1400b fuel inj pump cross references??

    I have a Perkins 4.236 with a mechanical CAV FIP (model: 3241F490) which has hundreds, probably thousands, of similar clones made for decades. I realize the "timing" mark(s) on the shaft/rotor, behind the little two-screw side plate, inside the pump are very precise. Mine happens to be a "D". I...

    Perkins 4.236 with CAV injection pump - tips to unstick

    I know. I have the relevant OEM JCB Service & Workshop manuals my buddy paid a mint for when he first got it. I know the potential nightmare not keeping timing/idler gear married while backing pump out.

    Perkins 4.236 with CAV injection pump - tips to unstick

    Thanks pumpguy, I thought so. I've shade-tree'd everything external on gas engines for a long time but the pump rebuild does look a bit challenging. I need to get this thing over to my place first thing by June 26th as my buddy is moving. I may need to keep the pump connected until then to...

    If you open your Google Apps/Drive link you should see the "Shared with me" link on the left side of the page.

    Coytee, "Your picture with the "T" lever next to the loader is the kill. That will kill the fuel flow somehow and is how you stop the machine. I've actually replaced mine once but don't recall much else about it!" Mine is frozen at the lever in the cab but you can force the exposed cable...

    Carlos, did you get the files I sent. I used Google Drive directly to share instead of uploading through Gmail/Drive if that makes sense.

    Thanks Coytee. I have all the manuals I need except for the "Operator's" Manual/Handbook. None of the other show that lever above ignition key. I could eventually take apart dashboard and find out. I didn't realize such a visible part would be so elusive.

    Sry, I am actually a very new owner of my yellow beast and have been learning on the fly. I'm still trying to figure out why Google Drive is freaking out on me.

    Sent. I got some weird Google Drive messages, freaking out with file permissions. If you have any issues let me know.
