I thought I would get the ball rolling with before and after pics, I used to have the restoration threads but they are now long gone,

1st up a Lister D 1952, pulled from a farm stackyard after 30 plus years.

That was a fair lesson in how to put photos on a forum,
I have another 1 1/2 fairbanks but its in serious need of parts.

I have not had much of a chance these last few years but they are all tucked up in the shed and usually get a run at least once a year.

Thanks Tony, yes a few hours spent and a lot of head scratching, the fun part is getting them going, the storage becomes an issue after that.

here is a couple of pictures taken a while ago, with a local made bruiser (corn mill) and a lister H1 pump and a stuart turner pump.

How you getting on with your lister L, did you manage to make used of the parts I sent you?

Hi all,

Yes Chris, The Lister L with the new piston has been sold, she had an insertion of a shim between the casing and the cylinder, because of the piston which was a little longer than the guenuine piston. I think she was a little more powerfull than before.

Cheers
