More Old Iron

perhaps a Lister expert would comment on the B hopper which looks slightly unusual to me? The small engine is an International LA or LB of which many were imported under lend-lease. You should have no trouble getting parts in the USA. Looks like you'll need a few :-) regards Roland

Roland Thanks for clearing that up for me, its been bugging me as to what make and model it is. I am quite new to the hobby, so my knowledge is a little limited. Your right about the parts, it is in a sorry state, i removed the rear inspection plate thursday evening, to find no oil at all, but on the plus side theres not much rust in there either. I'm going to drop the whole thing in a bath of diesel and forget about it for now, in order to get my other projects finished, thanks, regards, Gary

Roland, Are you refering to the fact that the Hopper is too square and the hole is too round and central!

Mart> perhaps a Lister expert would comment on the B hopper which looks

Hi Gary, The horizontal is almost certainly an International Harvester Co Type LA or LB 1.5 HP. See

Both. The hopper looks short to me and the hole very neat. Perhaps its an early B?? ttfn Roland

The serial number on the Lister B dates the engine to 1932, the mag bracket has been removed from the engine and bolted to the metal skids and redrilled to match the holes on the rs1 mag, but the bracket is for the older type ML MCK mag. Regards, Gary
