Veggie, Regarding "brand" on this engine - it is from same parts pools that just about everyone uses in India. We put our own name on the castings - DES. You have to understand that brand actually has little meaning in regards to these machines as produced in India. We specify all parts designs as close to Lister original as possible and therefore can support all with a well established standard parts inventory. This is also the reason that we do not delve into any of the supposed Indian "improvements". The original old designs actually had a lot of wisdom behind them.
