It appears to be powered by a Ford 4 cylinder diesel I can't help wondering if this machine is a Merton? :think:

You may have it there Jeremy. There are some similarities with this: http://tractors.wikia.com/wiki/Merton_Engineering_Co._Limited?file=Merton-4wd-100B.jpg

I am not convinced , this radiator badge looks a bit too 'flowery' to be British :_

Craig I know what you mean and you might be right.

The logo could be a hill or mountain, could also be an A and M. The side logos might be representing loader bucket/arms.

\did Ammann ever dable in loaders?

I'll bet Fred can identify it for us when he gets back from his trek down under.
