1997 JCB ROBOT 165 Series II

[Don Pearson]

We Bought this from a salvage yard in Texas, blown engine and had been through a flood.
Areplacement perkins was not an option, $7,000 for an engine with 3,000 plus hours was not going to happen. An adapter plate, more than one mod including a rebuilt radiator and fabbing a fan shroud (we all know there was much more) and a Kubota V2203 is getting it done.
It has since thes pics lost the 10" wide tires and now has twelves

Failed to provide cab pics. The ceiling padded (as if) panel is recovered and owners manual box reinstalled. The original owners manual is still inside.

Nice looking machine. I like the older machines better.Not all that electronic crap on them. My Skat Trak also has the V2203 Kubota motor. and it been awesome. Never fails to start in winter.
