1960 diesel engine for sugar cane extraction Lister Engine

Extracting the liquid from sugar cane to make brown sugar. These heavy gears are run by a long band powered by a 1960 diesel motor. The juice runs underground through a pipe where it ends up in tubs that are boiled and the pure sugar is left. Video shot in the mountains near San Vicente, El Salvador in Central America.

Thanks, I had no idea what year it was from. The old man told me it was from 1960 but he wasn't so sure about the year. This machine has been in the same place and still running since the old man was a boy so that makes more sense. Thank you very much for the information! It is greatly appreciated.

No problem, allways glad to help out!

I have a 1941 Lister petrol engine, a bit smaller than this but they were built around the same time and both still going strong : )
