Lister pump

Steve, There is no reason why you could not run off of a petrol engine as this is what is mostly done but sometimes you will see them with electric motors being driven by a generator.

Mart> Thanks, Martin.

What does the type 187 pump look like? This is my pump:

I've seen it at many a rally with a tiny stationary engine on top, but i've also seen it quite a few times with engines driving them, mainly D types. I plan to do the same with mine.

Regards Chris

Chris, That would have had a electric motor on once, known as a lister domestic.

Yes, it is the same as yours, although not quite so pretty (yet). I am also planning to run it with my Lister |D.

Thanks for the info re the catalogue, I'm just downloading it.

Cool. I've not put any effort into restoring mine yet, that was how I got it. How I got it I don't know, I even forgot I had it!

Regards Chris

I have looked at the pump catalogue on the Castell Pridd website (excellent site), and I now see how it was supplied, with either an electric motor or a petrol engine. I see that they also supplied it without a motor and with either a flat or vee puelley for driving from an existing unit.

Steve, Is there something your not telling us, you keep changing sex every time you send a posting. :-))

Brian, Like engine builders some pumps were built by one company with other company names on. We call it Badge engineering today.:-)) Martin P
