    We used to have one when I worked in the laboratory at a brickworks and it was the highlight of the month end sample clearout to borrow the dumper, load it up with scrap bricks till the front axle was creaking, then try to do wheelies in reverse! The poor abused thing usually refused to start unless you poured half a cup of diesel down the intake, to build a bit of compression

    The farm where I spent my childhood summers had a late-50s tractor (Steyr 18) with a very similar engine and I absolutely loved it! The Steyr had electric start but the battery wasn't always in the greatest shape so it was either bump it or crank the handle until you're blue. I haven't been at the farm for at good ten years but for all I know the tractor's still running and doing small chores. The glow indicator (a little filament that glowed red when the plug was ready) could be abused as a cigarette lighter, the hole in the dash was just the right size. These old dumpers hung around pretty long too, plenty of them doing hard commercial work as late as the 90s. Another tool I remember well from watching road works is the one-shot compactor ("Stampframme" in German, that should yield YT results). I think it was pretty much a standard petrol engine but one pull on the trigger fired a single shot that made the tool jump in the air and crash down on the ground to be compacted. They were commonly used on small trenches. Quite dangerous tools they were.

    Max, love your stuff, just a suggestion why don’t you get a couple of goats? You could put them on long tethers, put out some water in a large plastic tub, and let them eat all the flora around where you have decided to create storage areas. You might find you have more gear than you remember, ha ha. All the best 👍👍

    Fun fact re: Magic Roundabout. The actress Emma Thompson is the daughter of Eric Thompson who created and performed the English narration. 'Dad was given these little films that were made by the French…and dad was a total Francophobe; couldn’t stand the French...anyway, he would just watch the films and make things up, so naturally they got slightly out of hand sometimes, because they were odd little films," BBC Radio 5 - 2014
