Gear lever gaiter 331/25683 JCB 3CX/4CX, aftermarket

Gear lever gaiter 331/25683 is an aftermarket part for the JCB 3CX and 4CX backhoe loaders. This is the gear lever gaiter.

Gaiters harden with sun, ozone and cold and crack along their folds, so they are inspected at every service. A gaiter that is not seated properly or has a loose ring will tear when the lever moves through its full travel. Stones and dust trapped inside the gaiter can make the lever stiff to move. A well-fitting gaiter also extends the life of the valve spools beneath the levers. The gaiter folds are inspected.

Remove the old gaiter and ring and clean the seating surfaces.
