General Discussion / Lister Substitute Belarus
« on: February 03, 2008, 07:31:59 PM »
Some sort of diesel bug bit me about 4 years ago, and the infection is not over yet. I got into the Isuzu diesel pickup  (PUP) ownership and have been driving one 3 years.   I wanted a 12/2 but it is  hard to justify $3,000 delivered. After doing all sorts of reading about Listers, I stumbled on a cheap industrial 2 cyl air cooled Russian Belarus diesel  equipped with a dual disk hand clutch. I repaired  the starter drive and it seems to run fine.  Supposed to be about 30 HP but that is all I know.  Just on the chance someone knows where I can find out Belarus information, I am posting here.

Now I can get serious about a 6/1 and have enough HP in the Belarus to generate more watts when needed.  I am interested in seeing a 6/1 in operation. I live in Mississippi. I have enjoyed the posts while I waited for membership here.  If anyone has a cracked or junk 6/1 head and piston I am interested.  I want to cut one open to check casting thickness, and try my hand at some machine work ( if it is thick enough).
Thanks
Ed
