What kind of a JCB is it and what happened her?

412S 2003 model

well.....

she had been heating up for a while so we replaced the thermostat.... that didnt work

then we thought she blew a gasket .. we were right

so we made the mistake of leaving her and just carrying on as usual so new years eve we were filling the feeder and smoke started to come out of exhaust(funnily enough ) and out oof under the bonnet so we had bc plant out and they wanted to replace the engine but there was no wear on it

so.... i dont know whats wrong with it

Oh very fancy for loading a diet feeder :-[::)

Sounds to me like the head gasket went and then it did more damage to the head after this - could still end up a full engine rebuilt if the valves damaged the top of the pistons :-[ :'(

thats basically what happened

Ploughing,cultivation for the seed kale

Pulling weeds from the clover seed crop

And roving the paddocks with the hot new farm worker..... Or you keep that a secret ol?
