Yes the Lister diesels plod along at 1,500 rpm and last an awful lot longer than the modern diesels of half the cubic capacity as they are under stressed.
I've got my grandfathers c1910 Lister petrol J1 to restore at some stage and it is rated at 2HP @850 rpm.
Yes I'm wanting a portable 12 Volt DC battery charger
(Not a 240 Volt AC generator. The Listers run the power for the washing machine and the wool press. The battery inverter runs the lights at night to save fuel.)
I need to make up something to charge the batteries as we can't afford to put on solar at this stage. (We are not eligible for the solar rebates as we are not on the grid)
The neighbours near here are all big NZ owned dairy farms but there's at least 3-5 km from our place to a power pole.
