nathanwhittaker reacted to Rocboni in Ransomes Mg6 Dumper
Hi Nathan,
I don't think the original ransomes hydraulic unit will fit as it is a dumper and has been heavily modified at the rear to accommodate the skip, normally the back wall would support the pump. I have fitted a geared hydraulic pump to the PTO output before though.
Will be interesting to see how you plan to use the dumper with implements, would it not be better to go for an original resoration?

Hi Norman and Nathan I have two dumpers one complete and operational and another which I am restoring. Having a clear out of machines i have duplicates of so if anyone wants an MG5 or MG2 let me know I have three to go. I also have some spares for the dumper.I guess you will know of the two sources of new spares for all crawlers Nathan but if not give me a shout. My current searches are for an MG40 with Sachs Diesel engine and the wheeled version of the MG6 known as an ITW.
Both my dumpers originated from Headingley water works in Yorkshire, I suspect that yours Nathan may have been a working Partner as I know they were sold off as a job lot some years ago, one went to a light railway for ballast transport. I have recently bought a 30" and a 36" pair of Ransomes lawnmowers powered by a version of the MG2 engine I have the 30" running and am now in training to be able to run fast enough to use it.

Hi all after a lot of searching I have found my new project a Ransomes Mg40 Dumper. Some of you might recognise this as I have bought it of Tom (Dibnah). The engine has already been recon by Tom ( Dibnah)so its just the rest of it what needs sorting. I hope you like the thread and the photos.
