This is where it all started. My Johnson 2HG dumper. Prior to getting this machine I had never heard of Johnson Machinery.
This is Ben's Johnson 2HG dumper which is in much better condition than mine.
Johnson 2HG dumper belonging to Guy from Scotland. Has a Petter AVA engine, an old school chair for a seat and the original handbrake .
Johnson 1 ton dumper with Petter AVA1 diesel rear wheel drive. Bill says "transmission is via a toothed rubber belt, a very modern idea when it was made."
This is Tom's Johnson 1 ton 2HG dumper. He owns 2 of these machines, 1 belt driven and 1 chain driven.
Johnson 4 wheel drive dumper owned by Gareth. It has hydraulic tip and what looks like a Petter PH2 engine. I think it is a Model 1KP although it might be a 2KP or 3KP
This is Shaun's Johnson 1 ton 2HG dumper. He has now sold this dumper in preparation for relocation to the Isle of Man.

Johnson Humper belonging to John. This machine is in regular use in the timber yard.

Frank from Germany owns this Johnson 2HG dumper with Petter AVA1(T) engine. It is in great condition.
Frank's dumper is missing its handbrake lever like mine. These must have fallen off quite regularly!
Thanks to Reg for these pictures of his Johnson 1JP dumper. He would like to date this machine if possible.
Reg's dumper still has its Johnson name plates.
Note how Johnson's have finally gone over to front wheel drive and rear wheel steer with this model of dumper.
This is Bob's Johnson Mud Pump from the 1960's. He still uses it and has just managed to get a new diaphragm for it after a long search.
Close up of the controls on the Humper which Myles uses in his wood yard. Despite its age the machine still works very well.
Peter has had his dumper for many years and has used it a lot.
Peter is currently making some new mudguards for his 2HG as the old ones have rusted out

William from Scotland sent these pictures of his 3E dumper which dates from the 1960's and is still in its original orange paint.
Williams dumper has a Petter AVA2 engine
This dumper is in remarkably good condition for its age.
On the right you can just see the massive block of ice which has just been tipped out of the skip!

Johnson Motil owned by John. Can anyone date this machine or do you know anything about its history?
Johns dumper looks excellent.
Lee's dumper dates from 1965 and has had 2 owners from new.
The 1KP Model could carry 2 tons fully loaded.
Lee also saw this 3KP at auction. This machine could carry 2.5 tons.
