@@oldamericaniron5767 the asking prices over here are offen far to high. But i was just in the right place at the right time. Also the day after i asked about buying it he backed his caravan into it and the wife then wanted it gone.
@@hurricanedaniel That made me chuckle. When I bought my Insley dragline the man said his wife was tired of it sitting next to their driveway for 16 years. Like you said, right time.
@@oldamericaniron5767 it was odd because when i first asked about it the wife said its probably not for sale, but the bloke said he would think about it. and then the van struck it and i guess she changed her mind. alwasy worth asking the question
@@andrewjoyce7789 me too actually. Given it was hand crank and not electric starter also. But it happens alot. Amazing how easy some of this old stuff starts up after resting for so long
And we fight with petrol engines over here. Looks like a fun toy to have.
Do you have anything like that over there? I know the UK did have lots. Offen used for moving cement around on sit.
@@hurricanedaniel Yes we do, occasionally see something like it on marketplace but asking prices are generally way to high.

Injector cleaner and a sports exhaust!
I actually removed the exhaust and cleaned the carbon build up out of the head then burnt the carbon out of the muffler
@@hurricanedaniel I was surprised that it started so easily!

Petter ph1 or ph2 engines were more popular in dumpers 1940s + and I've never seen anti clockwise starting
might depend on the country i guess? most ive seen in aus have a Lister engine.
