Testing Out My JCB 208s After Rebuild | Low on Power? | SeidelRanch

I recently went thought this machine to find out why it was not starting. Found the injector pump to be clogged. Rebuilt the pump and now I am testing it. What do you think?

Testing Out My JCB 208s After Rebuild | Low on Power? | SeidelRanch

Stuff about this tractor….
The 600kg loader capacity JCB 208s 1CX is the smallest model in our backhoe loader range, bringing backhoe performance and capability to previously inaccessible areas. It can turn on its own axis in order to work in cramped environments and it’s fitted with a universal skid steer quickhitch allowing for a full range of skid steer attachments to be fitted easily. Full servo-controlled hydrostatic transmission gives zero to maximum speed, both in forward and reverse, at full power.
Highly maneuverable skid steer design, Gearless servo-controlled hydrostatic transmission, Comfortable cab environment, Choice of manual or servo excavator controls, Versatile universal skid steer quickhitch, Extradig option gives superior backhoe performance, The JCB 208s 1CX backhoe loader is extremely nimble, not just because of its compact size; it’s also blessed with cutting edge controls to make maneuvering easy.
Hydraulic servos reduce lever efforts to a minimum and seat-mounted twin ergonomic joystick controls are positioned for easy use. There’s an auxiliary hand tools circuit, while joystick-mounted auxiliary control push buttons make attachment operation easy.
To turn on its own axis, the 208s 1CX has a skid steer transmission system controlled through servo hand controls for ease and precision.
The JCB 1CX 208s is an exceptionally safe backhoe loader: a ROPS/FOPS canopy or fully glazed cab with soundproofing, working lights, seatbelt and JCB impact protection kit are available to suit the different customers around the world.

Replacing Hydraulic Cylinder Seals – Part 1 – Preparing to tear down the cylinder

I am preparing to replace the hydraulic cylinder seals on my New Holland LB75B backhoe loader tractor. The cylinder has been leaking and getting worse by the day and I want to replace the seals myself. People also call this repacking or rebuilding the cylinder. Bringing the cylinder into a dealer or hydraulic shop is going to be anywhere from $500 to $1000 just in labor and I am sure I will need to replace more in the near future.

I purchased the PDF service manual fro the tractor and plan on doing most if not all of the work myself. There are 10+ hydraulic cylinders on this backhoe which counts for a lot of seal kits to replace. Then add the fact I have 4 tractors that will all need this done one day and you have a lot of money invested in cylinder rebuilds.

I also go over the different types of hydraulic cylinders that you will find on a backhoe and what they are named so you can find the seal kits easier when looking online. This tractor is a New Holland and its parts catalog is available online. You can print out your parts and the diagram to help you with your rebuild.

The New Holland LB75B is a pretty popular backhoe in mainstream construction. I bought this one for what I think was a good price to use it strictly on the farm. It has about 4000 hours on it and still runs great. I can expect to add a few more thousand without major issues.
