It has DA1562F cast into the case beneath which is W?4885 – does that help?

Yes owen,green is the way to go on these little mowers. this paint which I use is very versatile because no matter what the weather,one way or another you can get it on whether you spray or brush. brushing is my preferred method as you can get more on in a shorter time span. managed to get this chaincase covered today. the shine is so intense you can see me in it taking the photo.

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.

engine now well on its way to being finished. have discovered that if I keep a good distance from the item to be photographed the item is green rather than pink. now if you have not been following this thread you will think I am cracking up or have been drinking heavily with this last statement,but to put the record straight have had issues with camera in flouresent light.

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!
