Good news…ish.

I managed to split the case (2 hours!) but the mystery thickens. The retaining nut Da1604T is missing (see photo) and there doesn’t seem to be any place for it.

I can’t release the pulley and there is no immediately apparent way to release the shaft.

Open to suggestions.

the plough is a landmaster and not a honda but works well once set up in cultivated ground. I also managed to get a set of drum tynes i think they are for seed bed prep. I did finally find an auxillery pully for the honda now need to find a saw bench to run from it.??

welcome to our new forum Trosher. nice to see the humble Lister D being restored. static engines are a little thin on the ground on here at the moment,but some of us have projects ongoing and I know that there are some like yourself in the process of restoring. Not sure where you are in the country,but this year at Newby Hall Nr Ripon there is a special section dedicated to R A Lister engines,and I will be going to boost machines. there will be in excess of 120 engines and working stands. I can not wait as its one of the best shows in N, Yorkshire.

Oh I got the money! Christmas is coming!

[vhgmcbuddy]

Mine has arrived as well, just need to decide what to take now !!

[vhgmcbuddy]

Sounds like he should have done his homework then, as long as you got your money Chris…

[vhgmcbuddy]

No! I had a call from him today saying it had arrived!

I said are you happy with it??

He said NO!!

Whats wrong with it then I said

He said its the wrong year & my attachments dont fit!!

Opps I thought, should have done his home work & found out. How do I know if his attachments will fit my tractor.

He did say that he should have asked for the serial no & found out.

Any way its gone!

[vhgmcbuddy]

The new parts for the spare magneto finally arrived, New condenser, stop button, spring clips, HT lead and plug cap. Fitted all the new parts and tested. Pleased to report its all working as it should. I made a short video of it being turned by hand……
