Kit container has landed

[dieselgman]

Well, it has been a long and frustrating delay waiting for customs and shipping and the like... but our new container from India has arrived! We have been fully restocked at our Kansas warehouse on all things Listeroid as well as replenishing our standard Lister parts stocks. I could not believe how thorough US Customs and Border Protection was with this container! They completely unloaded more than 26,000 Kg and a very difficult job at that (it was 100% stuffed and had zero pallets or skids to allow forklift handling)! They opened almost every crate all the way to the back of this one. Obviously they found no problems or violations and now our recent stock shortages are solved.
This load has the usual 6/1, 8/1, 16/2 kits but also some unusual oversized machines that include a 825 rpm single that makes 20 hp and also a 30 hp oversized twin. If you always wanted a bigger unit, now is the time.  

I will post further details here as time allows.

Looking forward to further info regarding the oversized single.

We are shipping one (18/1) over to Butch for his usual analysis - and play!  

I will be sorting and checking things over for a few weeks and will try to get images and details posted here.

That's 1570 pounds for us Americans.  3353 cubic inches.  So what's it do in the quarter mile?

I like the smell of fish and chips but chicken tandoori has a lot going for it

Casey

if it was horizontal you'd never need a Witte.

[dieselgman]

Laid on its side - who needs Witte?  

Might squeak the tires a bit off-the-line, but I suspect it would do much better off-road.

Don't think those Half jokes are getting past this Witte owner.

Casey how did you come up with 3353cubic inches?   

[dieselgman]

Most likely from my data... should be in cubic centimeters rather than inches I believe. More like 207 cubic inches.

Hopefully I will find time to get the mega sized single up and running soon. Trying to get ny daughter's house ready to move into.


 Should be similar to this one.

I am also very curious about these 30HP twins? I have a 25/2 Powerline branded engine now. Have seen the same specs rated a 28.  Interesting engines I bet.
