I've got a service manual for JCB 801.4

[Rob-b]

Hi folks

I am getting lots of requests for the manual, I don't mind this, but what I do mind is the folk coming onto the forum and requesting it on their first post then never to be seen again, or even a thank you for the file.

Don't mean to sound petty but would rather offer it to those with at least 10 posts that can offer the forum something back, if only in terms of banter or advice from a skill or experience they have or had.

Makes for a more vibrant forum and mutual help from those willing to offer something back.

Yep , Got to agree with you Rob . Pissed me off a bit when I saw a guy on another forum asking for manuals . One of the guys here had manuals , So i asked and yes he had a suitable one Tell the guy on the other forum to register here and ask for manual . Which he did . Got his manual and pissed off never to be seen again .. Forums I think are for giving where you can . Not taking and running . .

serial no

hi, could someone tell me if this looks like the serial number of my jcb 801.4. [53159] how can i find out how old it is. the tag on the front has been bashed about a bit and is hard to read. i need a new swing arm cable but need to provide serial number and age of machine. thanks if you can help

If you ring a JCB dealer and quote them your serial no, they will be able to tell you the exact date of manufacture.
Mine too has a 7 figure no starting with a 0. The same 7 numbers are also part of the long number which I presume to be the VIN.
Good luck, Pete

Thanks for your 'inputs' Rob .. its been good of you, and I agree completely with your position .. such is the way of it with some folks who will want something for nowt .. I mentioned elsewhere you should perhaps come to an 'arrangement' with the 'enquirer' for your own good will

Hi, Rob,

Just a quick introduction first -

I am based in Nottingham, UK and have a background in small scale property development but little experience in plant and machinery. I purchased a used JCB 801.4 (circa early 1990's) from a Landscaping company in July 2012 as an investment for my own projects. I used it to do some small scale landscaping (grading the rear yard) on a family members house and everything went well.

Recently, I loaned the digger to a colleague and as luck would have it, within a day he called me saying that he parked the digger up and that the engine starts but there are no hydraulics. I went to inspect the machine today and noticing that there was no hydraulic fluid, topped it up to the required levels and checked the functioning of the hydraulics again without any joy.

A quick research on the internet and i suspect that the Hydraulic Pump may be faulty. The part number appears to be 20/903500 (Hydraulic Pump for 801.4) - as below. Its a triple pump but as you can see quite costly at £687.94 + vat.

I found another link for a company who supplies spare parts http://www.vicaryplant.co.uk/ who i will call tomorrow to see if i can find a better deal either on a used/reconditioned one or possible reconditioning/repairing the one i have on the digger at present.

I will carry on researching in case my initial diagnosis is incorrect. I would appreciate a copy of the repair manual. I need to bleed the system and take off the hydraulic pump to replace it. If you or any other forum member have any words of advice regarding what else to check, would be appreciated. I will keep you updated on progress.

Thanks

Any chance of a copy of the manual pdf?

Hi Rob,

Would it be possible to have a copy of the manual pdf you have. I have just bought a 8014 from a plant hire firm and am in need of info for the daily maintenance as well as some of the other jobs it needs sorting out. I know I don't meet the criteria you have set to get a copy but be assurred I soon will as I have a number of questions and items I need to source and resolve.

Please feel free to pm me with any questions you have, can supply the serial no. to prove ownership.

Kind regards

Jamie

Hello there, I have read with interest your digger saga. I bought a jcb mini digger last week,its an early model I'm told circa 1989. I want to maintain it myself and phoned up jcb for a manual only to be told cost is over £400.00 inc vat. That's over 10% of the machine cost. Not bloody likely I thought. Downright robbery how do they have the cheek!. I wonder if your offer is still on, I would be so grateful to you. My email chrisnunn30@gmail.com. keep the faith
