Starting Lister A 3hp 1935 hopper cooled

Starting and stopping my very nice Lister A. There is a very nice 2 cilinder pumping set on the trolley (maker unknown - who knows?). It runs on petrol.

Hi there,

I have just had a new lead on that pump. A few weeks ago I saw a Lister D at a rally driving a very similar pump. It was an RSM and I feel your might be the same?

Hi, I was in Sambeek (NL) several weeks ago, and there was a pump nearly the same. With the same base and valves and pistons. It is a 99% sure a Hardie pump.

Just thinking, could the pump be merryworth?

You mean that it is build by Merryworth?

There is nothing on the pump, just the number '101' in the footplate. I like to know the builder of this pump. It is working very well. Thanks for reacting

Hi Phill, Sorry foir my late reaction. The shaft is 85 cm long incl. the pulley, the engine is from the bottom of the flywheels to the top of the hopper 79 cm high. I think the engine weights around 200 to 250 kilo. The flywheels are 46 cm.

Hi there. I'm trying to find infomation on the Lister SL pump, my father inlaw is restoring one, could you help me out at all??

[steamwally]

I've never heard of one of those. Glad you have got a name pinned on it now though.

[steamwally]

Thanks very much. : )

Absolutley wonderfull Lister Juior!

I am interested in getting one of these sometime, how wide are they from one end of the shaft to the other and how much do they weigh?

Many thanks,

Phill.
