Rear propshaft 914/60263 JCB 3CX/4CX, aftermarket

Rear propshaft 914/60263 is an aftermarket part for the JCB 3CX and 4CX backhoe loaders. This shaft drives the rear axle.

The propshaft is checked with the machine stopped and the parking brake on: play felt in the joints or splines when the shaft is rocked by hand shows wear. Any guard must be intact. A damaged propshaft can break at speed and damage the hoses and cables around it, so a worn shaft is replaced without delay.
