Doesn't look hardly used! Here they are usually well used and abused. Excellent scrap dealer to be kind enough to let you know it came in!
I know of two with similar design. One works, but has had a a lot of work time on it the other has been restored, at least to look nice. I have pulled the one and it works good even though as worn as it is.

Very similar to one made by Britstand here Australia in the 50's , commonally known as the"Tumbling Tommy " I helped build a couple on dams with one at Home ,after I left school in Mid Fifies . Used a "Mitchell road plough" to break open the Floor .Two man job , one Driver on the 744 Massey Wheel tractor , and One fellow hanging onto the plough !!
Last dam we built for ourselves we used our 631 and 633 scpapers and a D8K for Ripping , Much easier !!!
All You folks have great 2011 LJ
Really nice that it found you rather than you having to find it. Nice refurb, hope you get lots of fun out of it!
I have one very similar to that and it might be for sale for the right money if anyone is interested.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, Ruakina Cat.
Nice catch and nice restoration. That jigger looks to be a good size for a D2. I Hope you have many hours of both fun and productive work, even at the same time if you're lucky.
The oldtimers call them "Tumble Bugs" here in Oklahoma. There are lots of them around here.
Hi Ruakina cat I have one of those too, tried to work it at our cat day but had problems triping it to empty the bowl, do you have any "operator instructions " to go with it , Where in NZ are you, we're in Rangiora area and have a few cat toys to play with, cheers Andy
