My Dad's D

Here are some pics of my Fathers Lister D.

Found it for sale on the side of the road and sanpped it up as a nice little project.



Current progress is we've stripped it and began to clean all old paint and dirt off.



Had problems removing the head due to badly rusted head studs and 3 snapped off while I tried to removing them. A lot of drilling later and I removed them successfully. Now to clean gasket surface to a mirror finish (yea right).

Cheers to Ryan for the new studs

Looks like your having fun
If you need a new copper fuel pipe I make them up
Good Luck
Chris

keep a thin layer of oil on that flywheel,whilst resorting, most flywheels are so rusty that ones nice

Looking good with red oxide on!









Been in the garage knocking and welding fuel tank back to shape. I might just do the same as my engine and make a new tank

it does look great, if it was mine i wouldnt want to paint it, i like the matt kinda finish, parts in post on fri youl have them sat morning cheers

Cheers Ryan!

Your right a matt finish does look good.
I would love to have one of those D's thats total cover in rust and oil just for a change.

I've got a shed full of rusty, oily D's wish they were up n running with a fresh coat of paint on them.

Stu.

thats were there all hiding then, at least there oily and in a shed, better there than in a tip

Been away from it all for a while due to work and illness but have just bought a complete gasket set and hoping to crack this D back together soon.

Had to make some valve top caps at work last week so I'll be running them in in my engine and giving my dad his back.

My luck tho, I've made these and Stationary Engine Spares have them in stock again !

cant wait to start cracking on with my wolseley

Well here goes!!!!

Got it back together and running with only a few small issues to clear up. Well chuffed!

Now to sort that trolley!

Looks great well done ,give your self a pat on the back
