Lister Diesels

Post by Swawpy » Wed Mar 05, 2008 10:29 pm

Just curious if anyone here is into Listers, and what you run. I dont own one myself but have been looking here in the NW and the more I learn the more I want one. Just figured since everyone loves the sound of a JD 2 cyl, you all would love a Lister diesel. Just what I need...another project!

My buddy picked up one last fall, he is mounting a generator on it and going to run biodiesel that he makes in it. I'm thinking about the same just haven't drop the cash yet, The EPA has banded the sale of them commercially, He got his of of ebay with out the head, the guy had the head in another auction. to get around the EPA issue, EPA can't figure out how to regulate them.

Most of listers now days are manufactured from India when the the original mfg. stopped making them, Kinda like the bug in Mexico.

Here is some helpful links if you haven't already found these. there is some good video clips with the unit running. Love that sound.
