What kind of Benford?

[Stefan301]

We have a Benford dumper in our assciation and we need some further information. It looks very similar like the one on this side: http://www.oilyhands.co.uk/images/DUMPER-TRUCK-jim-batty.jpg
It's powered by a petter engine. Here are some views of the machine:








I can identify only a few letters on the type plate: ...ence & Whe....
Maybe it's a distributor?

Now my questions:

What type of dumer is this?
Does anybody have any documents about this dumper? User guides, brochures etc..?
What about the history of benford? Is it correct that it was bought by terex in 1999 and the plant is now closed?

Danke!/Thank you!

According to the brochure it must be the modell 23. The dumper is powered by a Petter PH1 engine.

Does anyone have informations about benford?

Obwohl die Insel eigentlich das Mutterland aller Dumper ist, wissen die hier leider nicht viel.

Bei deinem Benford dürfte es sich um ein späteres Exemplar, so von Anfang der 70er handeln. Die Motorabdeckung ist nämlich einfacher gehalten, ohne die aufwändigen Lüftungsschlitze.
