nathanwhittaker 50 #1 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited September 22, 2014 by nathanwhittaker 4 wheel horse sam, Ian, jamesie and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nathanwhittaker 50 #13 Posted September 22, 2014 its a bit harder for this one as the engine is at the rear not the front like normal ransomes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 642 #14 Posted September 22, 2014 I was going to buy this from Paul earlier in the year. Had to pull out as had other things I needed to spend my hard earned on It did have the skip with it too. Shame someone has cut the tracks down, you could turn them round Or you can buy the one on ebay for £6k Something like this. Then you can go into competition with Nigel. 2002-06-04 00.12.27.jpg Thats Jon Cox?? He has a dumper & have a mate who owns another Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
