WELL IT MADE YOU LOOK.

I drive a JCB 436. 20 tonne loading shovel its on 08 model had a lot of use been round the clock once.
anyway it went and tried to distroy its torque converter 6 weeks ago.
the retaining ring sheared its bolts snapped in half when it jamed in flywheel.
JCB company wanted 5.5k to repair and would have had it back on site in 4 days so being cheap scates they got someone in to do the job instead.
6 weeks later they had to go cap in hand to JCB as other man had screwed job up .he put it all together but engine and gearbox wouldnt mesh back up engine out again and found a few chips on splined shaft filed them flat and engine back in again .still wouldnt go back together so engine out again .filed some more off ,engine goes together ok but wont turn over .
MAN THROWS TOOLS IN VAN WHEEL SPINS OUT OF YARD NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE

JCB COMPANY RUBBING THERE HANDS.

ALL TOGETHER WE RECON ITS COST 10K UP TO YET INCLUDING DOWN TIME.
