Hello John,

I may be able to answer your question in part. The Dozer is a 1960`s British built Fowler Challenger 33, extremely likely to be powered by a the industrial version Leyland 0.680 engine equipped with cylinder head decompression levers (automotive version not having decompression levers). As for Midex, unfortunately, I do not know. I quite liked these machines even though not being everyones favourite.

Regards, David:

Yes, I have technical data and some good info of the Challenger 33. Because of a personal heavy work schedule, my lovely better half will scan some shots of the machine in various angles and I will email them to you. I`m sure they will be of interest.
