- Some months ago the little dumper took a trip down the hill and couldn't get back up again - over time it filled up with water and the extra weight will provide enough traction to rescue itself - or at least that's the plan!

I am an expat in Canada. I love your videos chap. The inginuity, hearing the accent, the birdsong and countryside do this man good. Thank you sir.
Old diesels don't die... they just knock a bit harder. ;-)
I have a similar dumper Maximus. Mine is also down a hilly paddock under brambles. You have just reminded me it's there so I will soon be going to do the same. It's uncanny how you have similar old machinery to myself,ie; old land rovers, old international tractor and I also am a self employed fabricator and mechanic although I do not own a forge and anvil unfortunately....Love your videos.....
Having owned many dodgy, clapped out, vehicles in my time the joy at watching a bit of a clunker starting first time is a joy to behold! Thanks Max, terrific video and... I've got my 80 year old Mum watching now and she loves the channel!
Dumper resto - future project 🤔👍
Haha.. was thinking the same. Something like a supercharged engine🤔but I doubt whether Max needs another project ☺️
Defo!
Its like a advert for the donkey sanctuary only a neglected dumper. Really the beginning should have been in black and white with sad violin music. Seeing her run happily through the field at the end was heartwarming!
My old man had (a much older) one of those for a few decades. No steering wheel, so he just clipped a mole wrench to the steering column, and that was apparently ok. I am pleased to report that he is still doing this type of utterly stupid thing and is well into his 80's. If make do and mend had a super hero - it would be him, and it both terrifies and makes me smile, in equal measure.
Having full control of a vehicle is overrated.
Fair play to him. If he is happy and isn't harming anyone, who cares if it's not h&s correct in these mad times when you cant piss crooked without some snowflake moaning.
@@terryatkinson3182 And he is still a legend doing jobs and repairing and active and healthy, so he's obviously doing something right!
Hi Max,
I re watched a video of yours from a year ago at the start of the full blown epidemic.
I don’t want to saw sound sycophantic but it was painful.
It was painful because you were saying what was in my head but unlike you I couldn’t find the words to explain the frustration I feel with people who have lost contact with the real world and reality.
Anyway, your messages and examples are important.
They have encouraged me to grow and re connect.
Thank you.
Brings a tear to the eye.......and the odd cough.......
Great video. I had much fun as a young lad hooning around on a Winget dumper with a little Petter diesel.
I'm glad someone mentioned horsepower and plant machinery.
How did those early Caterpillar dozers do so much work with a 60hp petrol engine?
Quite a machine you have there!
I learnt to drive on my dad’s old Winget dumper. The noise of those old Petter diesels is very evocative. 👍😀
Hi Max, A bit smokey, injectors may, great video
Ah can't beat the countryside for fresh air 🗣
Made me smile. Sarcasm at its best. You must be a fellow Brit?
Such a cute like dumper 🤣 keep up the good work buddy!
Wish my car sounded like that😁👍
Nice machine!
Its always the little things and wins in life when you live on the homestead. We are the same.
When the engine burst into life, I must have been grinning like an idiot, because my wife asked "what are you watching?"
Great video. Thank you.
A squirt of the "good stuff", as Lord Muck would say, always helps!
Cosby party gas 😁
"I can foresee a couple of problems: traction, horsepower..."
You left out drowning, if the bucket is ahead of you.
Easy start isn’t that angels breath in can 👍🏽
I have a four wheel drive version. And last summer it was spewing water from the exhaust. This spring it's seized solid. Glad you got yours going.
I love it you should call the video smokey and the bandit 👍 kool machine
Success, an old Benfield? That clacking engine the sound of so many busy building sites in the days past
I couldn't resist giving a cheer for that final big splash - the monster lives!
I remember driving a dumper truck just like this in the 1970s on a building site.
It was a temperamental a d difficult machine with a lethal kick back on the starter handle and toxic exhaust.
Good video Max , thanks.
My Grandad, had a Winget dumper, which my nephew has possession of now. Fairly sure it was Lister diesel, which powered it!
One of my earliest memories, was going scrumping, with it. And driving back, on a load of apple sacks. Sat in the bucket, on top of the apples, Feeling like Ben Hur!!
Very funny how you got it to knock so much Ha Ha .cheers from Australia
I was convinced at 7:10 you were going to get drenched :) top work mate. Your videos have the same sort of calm as Monty Don on Gardeners World - zero stress to watch and utterly wholesome, just what we all need in this crazy world. Thanks for making.
New piston, rings and you'll be amazed with the difference, also you won't single handedly destroy the ozone layer!
Last time I had a go of one those dumpers was around the mid 80's on a demolition site, good days.
Well that was a surprise on 2 counts for me! 1, the old lass started first try and 2, you didn’t get covered in water from it sloshing about 🤣😁. Nice to see her moving👍
You should use the cold start lever by the throttle linkage
My first job was a site labourer and machine driver. We had a modernish offroad forklift and an old dumper, it was bigger than yours but started like yours, it started up easy though thankfully!
Dumper recovered and back up the hill , job done nice one.
Would love a rebuild of that diesel engine
First vehicle I ever drove was one of these on a building site in Argyll Scotland back in the 60's.
Smokey vehicles like these always remind me of WW1 Destroyers laying down a smoke screen to protect the fleet.
I could hear Greta Thunderpants screaming over the engine noise!
@@CanadairCL44 Isn't it good that young people have concern about the Earth and our environment?
@@borisjohnson1944 Yes it is, but I wish some of them wouldn't talk absolute bollocks!
@@CanadairCL44 Well, you'll have to state what points you think are bollocks. People have different opinions on that but some of those opinions aren't based on the science.
Well that was a good result. The lack of horse power can be of set by a fucking huge flywheel for a bit of extra oohhhmmmm when needed by revving her up and dropping clutch.
Still alive and kicking , job well done .
Thanks for the video... One of the first things I ever drove was a clapped out front loader
I love old mining equipment and just old utility vehicles in general. Sounds like it could use some fresh fuel and addative
An exchange injector would be a good idea!
If you give it a light wire brush with angle grinder then coat it with a mix of old diesel oil, some diesel fuel, linseed oil, CRC and an equal amount (50%) of oil based enamel paint all well mixed together. Applied on a hot day and kept dry and put in the sun as much as possible for a few days, it will keep the rust from eating it away totally for more many years, especially if you put a second coat on after a week or 2.
I've got an old hand crank dumper too! Love it! You're right not much power, needs a run up to get up into my field. Looks like yours has a hydraulic bucket? Mines just on a lever and a chain. It's been featured in a few of my videos but can't remember which off the top of my head. Total contrast to the hired modern 6 tonne dumper I was using in this winter
Go on max, give it some love, get its injector redone and set it up a bit better. Get the other 50% of its power back! The old girl deserves it. It's knocking that hard it'll rip itself to bits.
I want one now max
No better sound than a cold starting Diesel engine.
Max, rather than using easy-start, try a burning rag.
A bit of rag, soaked in diesel (only needs to be a small square of cloth), light it and let the engine suck the flames up the inlet manifold as you crank it. Obvously not with an air filter in the way! That warms the cylinder/manifold. Though you will been to wait for the flames to burn down for the engine to get some air to actually start.
I used to start my old perkins that way when the pre-heat injector was dead.
Easy-start (I am told) can burn off carbon around the rings and lose some compression.
I was waiting for somebody to have a bath lol. With dirty water.😂😂
one of those yanmar L100 clones would be a good power upgrade for that beast! electric start would be a luxury too!
👍👌👏 I would love to have such a dumper vehicle with simple technique. Hope it will get some TLC soon.
Good to see another video Max. Nothing to warm you up like hand starting an old diesel!
Nice rustic water feature! Never ever ever take it to the bottom of the hill again! ;-)
Max, judging by the size of your land and the amount of time this engine runs, because it never gets to operating temperature or high enough engine speed to operate to clean out the cylinder, I wonder if some head work to clean the valve seats and remove the carbon build up and maybe turn up the injection pump to get a bit more power from the dumper would make it more useful. A super power house it will never be just a bit more user friendly.
Brilliant driving max
Love it! Looks like the old iron I use around my place.
Brings back memories of being soaked by a wave of water in the bucket.
Great video nice to see 👀 a uphill struggle 🏆
Great entertainment again.
Those old dumpers are so much cheaper in the UK vs Ireland British engineering from the 70s was the brilliant as my david brown tractors and jcb 3c prove getting on for nearly 50 yrs old working perfect
Rather than using drugs to make the old girl perform why not use the preheater from a tilly lamp soaked in meths and ignited and clipped on to the air intake just before cranking. Works with any Lister or even my Fordson major tractor. Easy start as you know makes for dry bores and there is nothing worse than a dry bore.
Brilliant max thanks 😁👍👏👏👏
Maybe it's misremembering, but i believe those dumper trucks were absolutley everywhere in the 70's when I was a kid. And what on earth is the engine in that thing? It sounds like two men with sledgehammers hitting a rock.
Get going !
oh my :) bravo !! love the sound of it ! i guess it's a single cyl and it appears not shaking much. it would be ideal engine for my sailboat :)
Now go aback and get your jacket :)
The self-lightening system is deployed.
I was waiting for the tidal wave coming at you.😊 miracle no soaking.
Birdy
Learned to drive when I was 10 on a old Thwaites like that crank used to stick on and you ran like hell
Hi Max. Always great to see another vid. I think the new ‘Mobile Wildlife Pond’ needs a rethink though.
This is why whenever possible I prefer diesel power because I’ve learned that if it’s got compression and you can turn it over fast enough and there’s fuel it will start it will run
Hey Max, not only is a dumper, but also a mosquito fogger!😨😂👍💖
Love your videos, very informative and entertaining. Any plans for more gardening videos?
I had a WW2 documentary on in the background and couldn't tell whether the noise was coming from that engine or a maxim gun
Last thing I had to hand crank was an Alvis Saracen 603, thought it would be a pig but went after a half turn. Cheers
Handcranking a Peugeot 404 or a Citroën 2CV, no problem. Except for some finessing with the choke.
good vid
A pre MOT video on that beast would be interested!!!
Not sure why I enjoyed this but I did! Great stuff Max.
Great adventure! well done :)
Definitely good stuff max such fun
it's such a cute little thing
Been following you a good couple of years, finally got my slice of heaven last April on a hill like yours, and having gone through the rainy season I now understand the trials and tribulations....working on a shoe string so a 3 ton excavator is out and I'm looking at the cost of a similar setup to yours. How does the tractor and back hoe cope in the wet?
.sounds of the 70s building sites
We have a 9hp dumper and it goes up any incline in reverse with any load (traction is another matter) but i'm surprised yours isn't geared accordingly. After all power is not a big deal if you are not in a hurry and have the gearing. Perhaps you haven't got 10hp anymore?
Learnt to drive on one of those! I soon learned the hard way not to park a rear wheel steer vehicle too close to stuff lol! :-)
p.s. Just think, future generations will never enjoy that smell!
Am I the only one that thinks that old engine should be cranked the other way. My old lister dumper starts clockwise?? Any ideas love the vids by the way more please. And where’s the zil/ organ
Very cool. But you probably need a respirator driving that!!
I think she might fail a smog test! ;-) I had a similar one years ago that was a brilliant starter, little smoke, down side was a manual tipping skip that was all or nothing........
We have an old winget, has new piston and barrel and starts a treat. Always wondered about setting up fiddle brakes and if they would help. We have the same problems with soft ground and winter stops play.
almost as hellfire as a class 37
Sounds like an excuse to chuck a bigger engine into it, give it some more horses (and maybe cylinders too!!)... :D
This is awesome
At least you shouldn’t have mosquitoes for a while!😀😂
we need three-hour videos!!!!!!
Why not find a welder and put auxiliary set of tires on it so you have 4 in front for more traction it sound like the engine doesn't have enough horsepower to climb
Could possibly fit land rover engine and box for more power and electric start..
Quick question... "Is that dump truck ULEZ compatible".. 09:41.. Haha ,stay safe : )
