OT - blasting on a budget
Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:08:20 -0700 (PDT)
I've accumulated enough old vehicles that it's worth considering the
acquisition of some grit blasting equipment. It has to be on the cheap
though - can't afford 3 grand for a nice portable diesel compressor.
Electric is out of the question as I don't have 3-phase.
I'm trying to think of possible solutions. One ...

Lister engine and pump
Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:39:45 +0100
Hello group,
I was hoping you could help me with some information.
I have obtained a Lister DER1 pump. I was hoping to paint it up in original
colour. Unfortunately the paint on it is several coats thick and has come
off in places. The base colour is red lead with various shades of grey and
at least one of ...

Finished something!
Thu, 23 Jul 2009 00:29:51 +0100
It has been getting pretty silly in the workshop recently & I am in the
middle of so many engines that I took myself to task and resolved to Finish
Something!
Ten years or so ago, I'd bought a mid 1980's Briggs & Stratton 240 volt
genny for not a lot - the alternator had failed & although I could not find
a ...

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:23:14 +0100
I received this from a Belgian news group I am in & thought it
would be of interest here even though it is OT.

Air filter wanted to suit 1 1/2" pipe
Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:23:01 +0000
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an air filter to suit my 1947 Dennis Bros. motor mower.
I was hoping to find an original A.C. Sphinx oil bath filter, but have
had no luck. So I bought a couple of filters which accept a paper
cartridge, which were sold as being suitable for a 1 1/2" pipe, but
neither fits as they ...

Three-wheeled tractors...
Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:15:57 -0500
Off-topic somewhat...
Any tractor fans here know what 3-wheeled models were offered over the
years? Many years ago I remember one on the east coast at Hunstanton, used
for hauling boats in and out of the sea, and have always been curious as
to what it was (although whether I'll recognise it from a picture is
an ...

Bit OT - Brooklands jumble
Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:17:03 +0100
I went to the Aero/auto jumble at Brooklands on Sunday. It was an easy trip
M4/M25 J10 both ways & the weather was OK until the last few miles.
The entry price was ¡ê9 but ¡ê7 for me & the majority of incomers where bus
passes must have outnumbered young 'uns ten to one - I kid you not! The
museum is a very act ...

Petter what?
Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:35:06 +0100
There was a Petter flat twin that utilised the square finned heads & barrels
from an A1 & was chronologically later than the PU8. It had finned exhaust
manifolds *on top* not underneath the cylinders.
Can anyone tell me the engine type designation & approximate years of
production please?
Regards,
Kim S ...
