Product Description
The JCB7 6-cylinder metal tracked excavator. The 7 was JCB’s first 360◦ vehicle, originally developed and produced in 1965. It was powered by a 6-cylinder Ford 590E engine and offered a power output of 96hp at 2250 rpm. The hydraulic excavator was based on an American design and was a 12 tonne class machine, capable of a maximum dig depth of 16’ 9”. The cab interior featured quite basic machinery but that was typical of mid 1960s design.
In model form, the yellow and red excavator looks equally simple, faithfully replicating the original, as used by JCB themselves. The interior of the cab is as per the body colour but with black detailing, The pistons and the exhaust pipe are finished in silver and to round off the model, the JCB 7 logo is printed in black on the rear and also on the bucket arms.
Completing another phase of JCB history, it is interesting to know there are some of these 1960s machines still in use around the world.
