Hello Mike, welcome to CMN

To help to identify your dumper more precisely would it be possible to upload some photos of dumper ...

By the description it sounds like you have a 15cwt type.

Thanks Pete,

As soon as I get it off its Axle Stands I will pose it for a photo

I cleaned out the Sump and Suction Filter on the Petter at the weekend

I had to get my hand inside the case and scoop out the sludge - much too thick to run out of the drain hole
Cannot make up my mind whether that was its First service in 50 years or actually its First Service - at least there is some oil going up to the Rockers now

Gearbox and Diff Unit next
