My Collection of Lister D Engines

See separate link from main menu for the Lister Pumpset and The Tuke and Bell Pump unit

I purchased 4 more Lister Ds (I must be a glutton for punishment) in mid 2002. The first two are very rusty, but running, one of which is a very early shaft drive mag example. The second two are a hopper cooled model, and a DK petrol paraffin model, these two are in restored about class 2 but I want to ensure the mechanical condition is OK and repaint both.

The 6th engine listed here, purchased in 2003 is on an original wheelbarrow trolley which I intend restoring and putting the shaft drive mag engine on.

Latest addition to the Lister Family is a Sheep Shearing set on an original Lister Wheelbarrow Trolley. I had to dismantle the Sheep Shearing equipment to bring it home, this will probably be the next engine to be restored. Details and pics will follow.

2011, I have thinned the collection, see below.

I still intend to finish the spec 13 but I may exhibit the 28DH on its original trolley.

Lister Petrol Engine Serial Numbers By Year Chart

Hi all,
The following may be useful for roughly dating your A or B type and also types H,J,K,L,M,N,P,Q and R.
Unfortunately the list cannot be treated as 100% accurate because a duplicate set of 'engine build day books' provide conflicting information as shown by the numbers in brackets. However, as a general guide the list should be helpful, and reasonably accurate form 1928 onwards.
Please note these are build dates and not dates of sale.
(These dates were given to me by another enthusiast. I believe they are courtesy of David Edgington)
1923 34557 (34561) - 38037 (38052)

Hi all,
So what happened after 1952??
Lister changed their numbering system (again) by introducing a very simple method with which to date any post 1952 A or B engine.
Every January, until production ceased, engine serial numbers commenced with number 1, while the Spec number determined the year the engine was built. So A2 was built in 1952, A3 = 1953, B4 = 1954, A5 = 1955, etc.
Simple really. Just remember that a short serial number means a post 1952 engine.
A2/B2 = 1952
A3/B3 = 1953
A4/B4 = 1954
A5/B5 = 1955
A6/B6 = 1956
A7/B7 = 1957
A8/B8 = 1958
A9/B9 = 1959
A10/B10 = 1960
A11/B11 = 1961
A12/B12 = 1962
Hoping this info also helps
Best wishes, jayvee
