Cab mirror 123/04971 JCB 3CX/4CX, genuine

Cab mirror 123/04971 is a genuine JCB part for the JCB 3CX and 4CX backhoe loaders. This is the cab interior mirror.

A rear-view mirror lets the operator see behind and to the sides of the machine, reducing blind spots and improving safety when manoeuvring, reversing and driving on the road. On construction machines mirrors are exposed to vibration, knocks and branches, and a mirror with broken glass or one that will not hold its setting becomes useless. In many countries sound mirrors are compulsory on machines that use public roads. Mirrors may be mounted outside or inside the cab. If only the glass is broken and it can be replaced on its own, that option is considered too, provided the housing and adjuster are sound. In winter, ice on the glass is removed without scratching it. Being able to fold the mirror housing saves it from breaking in an impact, so the folding joint is kept clean and lightly greased.
