Sadly no longer have this, I seemed to have to move it to find space. Neede to be under cover really. Have a guess at the age.

one of my most favorite and useful tools here, looking at those wheels id say its older than mine,
maybe 1960?

Not bad guess, it was a 1957. It originally had an electrically clutched winched scraper with wheel barrow style handles. The operator could then scrape the aggregate into the loading hopper. That was replaced by the digger when it failed!
The Lister CS was a good old engine with, I believe, pre war origins. A bit of a sod to start when I was an 8 st weakling.
