Thanks John ,googling Michigan 125 , both machines in picture appear to be one of these, the whole front end is quite distinctive-

Hi Craig, well the machine could well be a Priestman Mustang 108S but have no idea what the dumper is

I thought it was Mustang at first, as the cab looked 'Priestman' shaped ,but then wasn't sure about engine side when I looked at a few random pics on net . Sure Fred will be along to confirm for sure :D Spotted this and a lot of old JCB'S on a (slow!) lap of the TT course on my motorbike.

Was the slow lap because you stopped to take pics of the old JCB's ?

Sort of , had to escape at a later time , to picture hedgerow heaps out in the sticks , then kept getting 'bothered' by people who thought I'd broken down ! Well s'pose it is a early 1970s Triumph :)
