JCB Fastrac 8330

I'm looking to fix up an as yet unidentified 70s/80s JCB backhoe tractor of my grandfather's, I know it's been running hydraulics and all in the past 5-10 years but has been sitting in an open shed for alot longer than that Someone attempted to steal it at one point and wrecked the ignition not realizing there wasn't even a battery any identification and first time repair tips, books/resources, OEM parts distributors in Australia, or anything of the sort would be greatly appreciated 👍

I have a JCB 214 Series 2 I’m slowly bringing back to life. The engine runs great, but I seem to have dips in power when really pushing the front end loader under working loads. The lift arms dont seem to have drift, but the bucket definitely sinks down, even when not under load. I notice these power dips while pushing forward into a pile of dirt while lifting and tilting the front bucket. Thanks!

Hi, does anyone on here have a photo of a JCB 214e side relay box in correct working order? My dad and I picked up an old 214e from the late 90’s thru early 2000’s and the side relay/fuse box was disorganized as heck. I’ve read the manual but I can’t seem to find a simple layout of which color relays go where, into the relay grid. (The attached photo is one I borrowed from another forum post, from a Project 8, 1996.) I was hoping they might be the same and I could copy what is shown. Thank you

Hi all. Would any body have a shop manual for a jcb 445 transmission ? Tia.
