hi all, whats the make of this please

[rev.chris]

right, i bought myself a little dumper the other day to put in a stone track across the field, its a great little dumper an worked solid for two days with pritty much no probs, (did seem harder to start on the 2nd day and stalled a few times, but was low on diesel so hopefully that) anyway now ive finished the job i want to tidy it up an give it a good service, but unsure of the make,

Very unusual seat ?

[rev.chris]

ive no idea about the seat, any idea who made the dumper

[sdarmstrong]

Sorry dont know. Doesnt look like any of the Benfords in my catalogue from around its era though.

Could be a Thwaites 15cwt.Nimline with optional Lister engine (Petter was standard) ??

[rev.chris]

could be that, just looked up a few pic's an look a lot one,

Maybe a Winget?

also on the exhaust side of engine there is 2 small holes, ive been told to pour diesel in there before i start it so make it start easyer, is this right, as i dont want to damage engine,

many thanks for all ur comments.

Hi,
Should be a plug / plunger in those holes. They should be filled with engine oil, not diesel, for cold weather starting.
You'll need to push the plunger back into the hole to force the oil into the inlet manifold.
