No problem getting on the board, it's getting up afterwards that's the issue :bugeye: I know the feeling well Andrew, but we are driven! This afternoon I found myself wearing headtorch to fight my way through brambles in the dark, to get to the cabinet at the base of a mast, to try and get the internet back on for mum and cousin! In this weather, why do we do it? It can only be because it is there! Phil |

And now I'm being told that actually it's NOT a Project 8 3CX but a Project 9 :clap: According to an expert on the Facebook Vintage JCB group they were Project 8 when the console was at the front, but became Project 9's when the console was moved to the right side of the drivers seat. I had always thought the the move from slew pots (internal rams moving a rack across a gearwheel) to swing the king post to external rams acting directly was the distinguishing feature but it seems I was wrong. |

Does that increase the value, because it is newer, or decrease because it is 'less vintage'? -russ |
