Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania
We have received a manual reprint for Lister ‘D’ type
engines from Brian Dominic, of Nottingham, England.
In an accompanying letter Mr. Dominic writes that he is aware
there are not a lot of Lister engines in the United States.
However, he states, the Lister is probably the most commonly found
engine on British farms.
The booklet gives instructions, specifications and spare parts
lists of Lister ‘D’ and ‘DK’ engines. It would
certainly be of value to anyone owning a Lister. Those who do not
could surely learn a lot about this engine, so popular in
Britain.
The instructions and parts lists were first printed in 1936,
with additional specifications printed in 1953.
Mr. Dominic’s letter points out an error that appeared in
the original manual and that reappears in the reprint; the tappet
clearance should be 30 thou, not 3 thou.
Among other things, the booklet tells what trouble may occur
with the engine, explains proper maintenance and overhaul, and
gives information on lubricating and starting the engine.
You can get this attractive, easily read, illustrated, reprint
by sending 1 sterling to Brian Dominic, 17 Charnwood Lane, Arnold,
Nottingham, England.
