3CX left front mudguard 331/31574 JCB 3CX/4CX, aftermarket

3CX left front mudguard 331/31574 is an aftermarket part for the JCB 3CX and 4CX backhoe loaders. According to the product card, this part is a left front mudguard (3CX).

Mudguards stop mud, stones and water thrown up by the wheels from reaching the cab, the glass, the engine bay and people near the machine. Front mudguards are often mounted on the front axle and turn with the wheels, while rear ones are fixed to the cab or chassis. A broken or missing mudguard lets the cab glass get dirty and reduces visibility, makes the steps slippery and puts people nearby at risk from stones. A damaged mudguard is therefore replaced without delay. When a mudguard is replaced, the rubber mounts at the fixing points are checked too, as hardened mounts pass vibration straight to the mudguard and crack the plastic.
