Its been sat in a shed for around 30 years , and its seized soilid all it is missing is the mag , going to be a good challenge for me

Good Good, not only me spending money then lol

Cheers Steve

nope its not , this will probably be the most challenging problem i have ever taken on in all my restoring years ever worse that the fergie tractor i did , going to defiantly be a winter project lol

MATT..a nice looking industrial LISTER A there...
shouldn't take you long to sort that out a having it running..
good luck with it mate..thanks for posting the pictures....keep us up to date Matt...
regards,mike...

Nice project Matt, sure it will soon be running then the job of cleaning and painting and the trolley making. Hope it fits round the side ok

Good luck, Stu.

it will fit even if it has to go through the house lol , and i have found out it was origionaly sold to Frank Lane & Co., Faringdon in 1943 which is where i live so will be coming back to its home town after 30 years , my plan is just to stip it down 1st and start cleaning and working my way around and rebuilding the internals as i go ....Whats peoples opinions on the best way to undersize it ? i was going to just use alot of diesel ...

Oh and im after a lucus rs1 mag if anyone has one ?

oh and also a fuel tank as this one has no bottom at all

MATT...
post a wanted add for the bits you need,you mite find it all on here..
good luck mate..
regards,mike.

Red diesel the best to un-seize then maybe WD40 (buy it by ther gallon a lot cheaper then the small cans, bout £25) there's always plenty of mags for sale on fleabay or ask you uncle Mike to look at GDSF i'm sure he'll find you one at a good price. Frank's tanks the best place for a new tank, they don't often come up for sale on fleabay so that might be the best bet then you know it will be a good un even tho not original. It's going to cost you big time to get the wife out the house while you bring the engine down the hall

Good luck with it Matt,

Stu

Coke works a treat, the brown liquid not the white powder
