I am hoping he will sell it to me. The one in the barn also had a gen head/alternator mounted on the frame with it that looked like it was original equipment. That crack is an easy fix. I have done a few cast iron repairs in the past using both oxy acetaline and stick welding so it should be no problem. Just have to clean it out properly, pre heat , weld and control cool down time. I just have to find out if it had any other problems before it was taken out of service.I wonder how many originals there are out there just sitting in barns and out buildings. An old fellow had responded to an ad I ran here in our local paper regarding Lister type engines I was advertising. He said he use to run and maintain one in Waterton Lakes National park at the parks work shop. He really seemed to love that old engine. He was going to ask around to see what ever happened to it but thought it was probably sold for scrap.
