... it says in the program that it is a 1964 JCB 1D 15cwt. ... is it just a re-badge ?

No Andy that is correct they did build em, I've seen that one before at a show.
Nice looking Atki wrecker in the background, good pics thanks for posting.

Yes indeed, JCB did make a small range of two wheel drive manual tips dumpers.. 30cwt, 22cwt, and a 15cwt .. they were introduced in 1964, i do not know how many were made, or when JCB stopped making them .. or even why .. perhaps some one else knows

Hi,
The dumper at Belper belongs to a friend of mine infact I drove it round the arena.
Its due a make over as its not looking at its best.

I have a feeling they couldn't make any money on them , every engineering firm in the Uk seemed to have a go at knocking out these 'manual everything' small dumpers.
They must be one of the most difficult vehicles to identify once they lose their badges as they're all so similar.

That JCB dumper at Belper is J C BALLS machine i think.....it was on there stand at the croford steam rally last year anyway!
