New to me JCB 208s (1CX), multiple issues

Hello everyone. This is my first thread and the 208s is my first skid-steer or backhoe. I have a compact farm tractor, but I needed something to help me with all the dirt work I have at my land and thought this would be a great machine to do that.

I purchased a 1998 JCB 208s. Its got the Perkins 100 series engine in it (thanks Dave). If there is anything else you want to know about it, let me know.

When I bought it, I knew I was going to have some issues. I only paid $5500 USD for it...
