I thought if it isn't too big a task I may engineer a winch up and on bed, by that I mean a bed that can be pivoted between wheels and ground using a hand winch. :think:

Dumper is now fully functional.
Two 195 16 commercial tyres on the back (free supply and fit (do for now))
Hand brake un-seized (had a bit of a problem when I needed to get off on a slope)
Benford column and box on (column now six inches inboard)
Seat is now inboard to match column
Hand brake lever at angle to avoid my clutch extension (had a couple of near misses when foot slipped off as it was so heavy (now lovely)) :thumbup:
