Hello everyone, just found this forum, its excellent!!

I have just bought a 2 ton swivel 4x4 dumper with the lister petter 18hp engine. Does anybody have any information they could share with me? Anything to look out for, or anything really, seems to be very little online about them

I'm guessing the engine is a Petter PH2? There's plenty of downloadable manuals at the bottom of this page for the PH1, most of which I'm guessing is common to the PH2.
