Resurrection of a Lister 12/2

[sirpedrosa]

And there were 2 Listers, one 8/1 of 1961, and another 12/2 of 1953.

I felt embarrassed by the description on the board. take a look: the board states 1938, but the serial plate states 1953.

"Anyway, who doesn't know is like who doesn't see!"

And I'll bet it never came out of the factory with that air filter either.

Hi Everyone

Fall season are times to doing crops, and today was grapes crop, starking apples are also mature, and the olives are getting pretty.

Here are some pics of the crop, grape crusher, and one with our work horse a ISEKI 1910 of 1980 (in my hand since day 1).

@ Sirpedrosa;
Nice harvest! here it's also that time of year. potatoes, onions, garlic tomatoes, apples, pears, peaches, and even some grapes. An apparently smaller garden than yours, but it really keeps us busy. No tractor, just hand work.
A new driveway is awaiting......... A dumper brought yards of gravel two days ago. Now it needs to be spread......wheelbarrow, shovel and rake. Wish I did have a tractor, but.......

Hi Hugh

That is in the village... because nearby my home in city (left bank of tagus) is also all by hand, but it's only to "exercise the laziness".

By the way please tell if you know where this company: http://catalog.daemar.com/item/dmr-trade-keystock/rectangular-keystock/0-313-563-12
If so, let me know.

Hi Everyone

New valves seated, heads skimmed, measures taken and cylinders top sanded.

Next task: cutting joints to main bushes, and start putting parts in place.

Have a safe day.

@ sirpedrosa
Daemar, the company you asked about has Canada locations in Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
Vancouver is closest to me, but still a few hundred miles and 3 ferry rides from here. Also in USA
Looks like a good source of bushings, keystock, shims, etc.

Hi Everyone

Some more improvements today, cutting a bunch of joints to fit main bushes, fit felt washer, and tuning crank shaft end play.

Fitting idler gear - marked inside, as well as camshaft and crank pinion, so we can time it from inside.

Some pics, for the enthusiast.

Cheers

And final product... for today

PS: By the way, shop charge me with 250€ for valve seats and head skiming.

Hi All

Nothing like a sweaty evening to tighten the central bearing of the shaft.

Some pics for enthusiasts.

Cheers.

PS: remember wrench lever I made before?

Hi Gentle

Who can confirm to me the torque of the main bushing nuts.

I found this table: http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/Articles/rrchapt8.htm

But I think the values are tabulated for R-grade, and the original studs should not be R-grade, because the torque wrench was already 60ftlbs, and I don't think they could handle 70ftlbs.

Well, the connecting rods are already in place too ...

Hi Gentle

Some more steps.

Con rods are in place and torqued.

Oil manifold too. Take a look at blind snuggle and tighten of oil delivery pipe! It's not easy with that french wrench!

Be happy

Hi Gentles

the "greeny" is growing.

Straightened oil pipes (I mean more curved) and starting to set bump clearance.

Cheers
VP

[sirpedrosa]

Hi All

Some more twiking in the beast, fit cylinder joints to set height, tin to set bump clearance, ready to torque.

Loosening nuts and measuring clearance.

Now I got to do math.

Have a good weekend
