In my quest for alternate power sources I found “lister” diesel engines that can power GenSets, Pumps etc.
“The Lister CS (cold start) diesel engine was first produced in 1929. With a running speed of 600 RPM, and a simple engine design the Lister CS diesel engine is now legendary for its record of longevity with many engines running in rural areas for 40 years or more.“

NOTE: As with EVERYTHING…Buyer Beware, A few folks are selling Listers that are JUNK, some other folks are rebuilding them with nice new bearings and such…Do your homework before you spend the $.
