So the old Site Dumper I bought turned out to be a mighty and useful machine - better than any wheelbarrow, especially in the Queensland heat. Dumpy was so useful in fact that I decided to restore him back to original 'as new' condition. With a massive amount of help from Winget in the UK, CPM Engineering in Gympie and GD Geodrill in Illkley, Dumpy is now in fine form and fettle, ready to work for another 45 years...
awesome job, great to see it swooped passed the scrap yard for another lifetime.
The project was a good bit of fun. I made the effort to get it right - if the work of Winget can last 45 years then copying it should be good for another 45 years!
@@robertltomlinson wens ur next vid out mate 👍 been months and months
Fair play to you mate - I've always had a soft spot for the humble dumper and it's good to see someone adopting one and giving it a bit of tlc :-)
I have to say, they are an incredibly useful machine. The amount of material I can move in a day, with this and a small excavator, is astonishing. It makes the two machines together so much more productive it's not funny. And the kids love a ride in the skip, too.
@@robertltomlinson Yep they're great machines. I used to work in Sherwood Forest and we used them a lot for laying new paths in the woods. Had all sorts from Thwaites, Benford, Winget and so on. had a five tonner once with an air cooled Ford motor that really barked when it was working - you could hear it from half a mile away! Always fancied one of the Thwaites forward control machines - and sadly had to be sensible and talk myself out of buying this thing ; www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/152798333443_/4x4-Mining-Dumptruck-4-wheel-drive-steer.jpg
Bristol road Gloucester how interesting I live in Gloucester I would have been 6yrs old lol
Love it. Nice restoration!
I got a few of those 2cyl letters put away . Best motor ever put in a boat.
I'm sure that motor will last for ever.
Nice job 👍
Great restoration
Cheers, it was well worth the effort as the machine is really useful. Don't know why I didn't get one years ago!
Awesome save and rebuild..it seams with all the hydraulics you could build a loader bucket for it... (attachment) thinking out loud.. it was built to haul loads, privite use a loader attachment would be a back saver, and a push blade ... very enjoyable video... thanks for the video
That's not a bad idea actually, very ingenious. I can however save myself from that project as I also have a Yanmar B37 excavator. And you are right - both machines definitely save me from the aches and pains!
@@robertltomlinson I wondered how you got it loaded?. I have several projects, ive seen many great ideas, builds, great minds out there.. necessity is the mother of inventions ..
Good looking dumper , you haven't mentioned the electric starter, visible in several shots, have just bought a Liner dumper, similar state to yours doubt it will get the same level of restoration as you have done (poor thing), enjoyed the bids and have fun with her, all the best from blighty.
You are correct, Roger, I haven't mentioned the electric start. I'm not sure it's ever been used and certainky wasn't used by the previous owner. I did give it a try but suspect with many years of sitting idle it has all seized up. I do want to free it off though as it will make starting much, much easier!
Update on the electric start. It works! I've mounted a battery box and ran some cables to make starting it sooooooo much easier. I feel another video coming on....
new old stock is a wonderful thing
It certainly is, and the Winget guys are awesome for supporting a machine that is 40+ years old.
Wow, I´m deeply impressed, You gave her the whole nine yards- awsome mate :) And that red makes it faster, i guess? Ferrari comes to my mind when i see that color ;) I bet You had a brew when received that message about the history of Dumpy, the only one left of its kind and matching numbers- just incredible! If i was to come to Australia (I´d really like to) I´d very much like to meet with You and Dumpy to have a little spin. Some people rescue cats, some rescue torn machines, i get why someone would do that. The best comes last: You did our world a favour by restoring this to it´s former glory, it is proven to be more environmental to fix up what´s already there instead of produce a whole new one. And for the smoke: THIS kind of diesel emits way bigger particles than some new, fancy-dancy from today, some cloth mask would be able to filter that. My point is that if some new diesel what is ment to be run with a sud filter is run without those fine particles go right in the depth of your lung, no detour. The particles had to be finer to achieve effective filtering. So this little rascal being still around is the right way to go and when back up to spec there won´t be that much smoke at all. I hate rolling coal. So, with even more words: Darn sweet job, mate!
Cheers! Yes once I figured out how useful Dumpy could be, it became clear that a new skip would be needed as the old one was so badly corroded. So if it had a new skip, it might as well have new everything else as well, and get painted. So I decided to go the whole nine yards and give Dumpy another 45 to 50 years of life. It's such a useful machine I have no idea how I survived without it in the past!!
Now it looks like new! You are going to have to get a pressure washer to keep it looking that way. Also will help clean up the kids before they go inside from a mud bath....
Looks good
Doesn't look like that now it's been put back into service!
Hey Robert I think I relocate the muffler as it going to be through heat on your hydraulic tank I might suggest pt a few 45 degree bends to move it away or out a back exhaust
Good observation. It ended up with a 90 elbow going straight up in the air. Only now when it rains water gets in so I have to put a bucket over it.
@@robertltomlinson what size pipe if you check in the u.s at the farm implements they have rain caps for 3/4 & 1"-1.1/4"
Tidy job on the Dumper very tidy machine
a concrete mixer and a dumper must be made two in one.
Dude u from UK I'm from Manchester down road from Bolton its a cute little dumper good job 👍
Yeah from the UK originally but live in Aus now.
@@robertltomlinson I thought so ur acent totally gave u away dude 👍 u should get a little excavator to match
@@Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc got a Yanmar B37!
@@robertltomlinson love to see a vid of it
Would look great with some spline drive chrome wire wheels mate 👍
LOL I can imagine trying to flick all the mud out the spokes after using it in the clay pit. Nice.
he looks smart
Cheers mate. CPM Engineering in Gympie did all the metal bashing and paint for me. Jason, Sean and the Team were brilliant.
They don't make them like this anymore! Modern plant is so limp-wristed compared to this lovely old beast
Yeah you are not wrong. No fancy computers or fragile sensors on this thing. It'll last forever and work every time!
@@robertltomlinson i used to drive one of these at motorcross track. Similar if not identical model. Hard to remember now. You've done a lovely job on the resto. I'd like to own one and some land one day
Can we have an update on dumpy? How’s he doing? Can we see him working??
There's a couple more Dumpy videos now, one has him working in the yard. Have a search and see what you think...
you have the wrong tyres for mud you need track grip ( tractor style to take advantage of the 4x4
I've been looking for a few more items. Tyres is one they are very old. Also looking for a replacement mirror, arm rest, and get some of the hydraulics refurbished too.
