Hi Folks
Had a really good bit of luck yesterday my nephew told me he knew of a Lister CS for sale and locally if I was still hankering for one. After a quick phone call, I ended up with the engine and generator set below. It’s in as found condition and in full working order the generator is fine the electric start all works ok and it is complete with all fuel tanks and cooling tower. Below are some pictures.
Here you can see the two fuel tanks the large green one is the one being used & the other green one is the smaller one Both have the level float's and covers the large one is 3/4 full of diesel
Checked for frost damage all clear there
Here you can see the water tower bloody huge
Some info on the generator
Info on the engine plate
Looking at the serial number it’s an 8Hp model made it 1958
Here is a short video showing her working yesterday.

One condition of the sale was I remove the engine and take it away. So today my brother and I set about this task.
With the greatest of luck we managed to remove both the flywheels and bloody heavy they are to.
After a lot of hard work the only things left were the base plate and cooling tower
Eventually we managed to get it all loaded. I tell you the generator was the heaviest thing of the whole lot
Hear we are at her new home
Now for the unloading
Here we have the three tanks they are all in good order complete with their lids. The fuel tanks have the level floats all in working order
So there she is and it goes to show that there are still some good finds out there. I had a CS many years ago and never finished restoring it, sold it on I have always kicked myself for this. But now I have another one and very pleased with it indeed.
Cheers Ross
