First, A red driveway is always in style! Second, I got it out of the state of maine. Third, justaman6972 I'm not sure where you are located, but I would be willing to sell the 16/1 as it sits on the trailer. contact me at crash4me@gmail.com

So how would you rate the Metro Lister quality?

did this thing run one off right out of the crate or did you have to break the thing down and do a pre-re-build job on her first?

Would love to hear your opinion on the quality of the engine.

And whats the deal with Metro anyway? i hear they are actually Field Marshal engines with a Metro plate put on them.

@Ooloosoon First, I open the crankcase, cleaned it out, re-did the piping for an oil filter and filled it up with Amsoil Diesel oil. It runs good and I believe it to be of good quality. I only have 10 hours on it, but I'm going to knock my house down and live in a motor home and this will be my power for several days. When I start it now, I clamp it to the John Deere, so no more wheelies!!

Oolosoon,

I welded two 4" I beems with 3 1/2" box steel as cross section. It is a custom axle with Goodyear rubber.

Sweet setup.

[BrokenRRT]

Are you using this still or did you sell it? How did or does that little radiator work out?

[DaddysSML]

@crash4me719 , I'm just now learning about these diesels and I'm in the market. I'm going soon to an off-grid location and the Lister seems perfect along with solar, etc. Do you mind sharing where you bought your equipment? Is it still available in the States? Is yours still for sale? I live in Florida.

Thanks

[justaman6972]

ahrite dang it where did you get this Lister man? Seriously! I gotta have one. I'm getting off the grid if it kills me. I'm sporting half a chubbie watching you run that thing..peace

[castirondude]

[castirondude]
