Hi,
I have recently purchased a dumper for help with a self build. It requires a good bit of tidying up which I’m doing slowly but I’d like to know what the dumper is.
I thought it was a Winget then a thwaites but both manufacturers have said it’s not theirs. It has a lister 3 cylinder engine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Dumper Identification
Hi and welcome 
somebody here should be able to point you in the right direction, I take it the first photo is of the emblem on the steering wheel? That emblem looks very much like the old British Leyland emblem but I don't think they made any dumpers? There is thread on dumpers in general, it would take some wading through but you may get your answer there too.

Re: Dumper Identification
There were quite a few British marques of dumpers back in the 50s through to the 70s and the layouts changed as time progressed. I would date it to 60s or early 70s. It is pivot steer, the early 60s 4wd dumpers tended to have a steering axle. The driver position is off set and by the end of the 70s most were central on the 4 WD machines. It might be an early Liner 4wd?

Re: Dumper Identification
I'd say the steering wheel is from an Ital 440 or 575 van.

Re: Dumper Identification
Thanks for the reply guys.
Yes it has pivot steer and the engine is dated 1971.
I found the emblem in the box under the seat, which has been replaced so there has been some ‘modernisation’ over the years.
