mike962 ◊ 2024-10-12 15:07	the engine is a Petter AVA problem it was an off the shelf part used by multiple producers -- Last edit: 2024-10-12 17:22:12 (Lateef)
mike962 ◊ 2024-10-12 20:05	can't figure it frame looks like Winget but rear and seat don't match rear fender look Barford but nothing fully matches if JCB (or somebody else) can't figure it maybe just list by the engine -- Last edit: 2024-10-12 20:32:48
jcb ◊ 2024-10-21 00:13	Gut feeling it is a Johnson.
mike962 ◊ 2024-10-22 21:56	^ if it can't be found maybe we should list it a Petter AVA ? was searching Johnson but didn't find any like it
jcb ◊ 2024-10-22 22:14	Why would you call it after its engine Almost every British dumper had a Lister or Petter engine. -- Last edit: 2024-10-22 22:14:39
mike962 ◊ 2024-10-22 22:18	in case it can't be found , there is not much visible of it, the rear fenders look Barford , thicker main frame Winget but it doesn't match with anything fully this frame suggests Winget but rear doesn't match , neither the seat support -- Last edit: 2024-10-22 22:20:20
jcb ◊ 2024-10-22 23:01	But it would never be found if it had Petter as make because as a make it does not exist. At least if you put Winget a Winget expert may come across it and say it is not a Winget. Many British trucks had Gardner engines but I would never call them a Gardner ! Look at the rear view of orange Johnson 3E half way down this page ,same mudguards, rear bumper and tow hook. ( It is not a 3E) https://www.oilyhands.co.uk/Johnson_Machinery_Survivors.htm Also the JCM1500RG from 1980 has similarities see I think it is an early Johnson 1.5 te dumper . -- Last edit: 2024-10-22 23:30:24
mike962 ◊ 2024-10-22 23:37	^ maybe the engine cover was removed ?? or this model didn't have one to start with... wheel arches match , bumper hook is same position and bucket shape generally matches too the rear bumper itself differs a bit, seat structure also differs but those are more minor things -- Last edit: 2024-10-22 23:47:55
jcb ◊ 2024-10-23 00:17	If we called it a Johnson who will argue
