JCB 3C wheel nuts (left or right hand thread)?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the wheel nuts on the left side of a JCB 3C mk11 are normal righthand thread or left hand thread as on commercial vehicles. I need to take a wheel off and there is insufficient thread showing to see which hand it is.

On my 2005 3cx they are normal RH thread. Mine were a pig to get off though. You need a 1 and 1/8" socket (28mm is tight, 29mm will do) and a scaffold pole....
