[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 7081005, member: 4681"] Strange no one has mentioned the BSA engine on the leyly, and JAP on the Lister. Those were the ones fitted to Grandfathers Leyly, and fathers Lister Lister was taken to the field once, then spent its life filling the barn, as did the Leyly, though that never left the farm yard,Two men with pitch forks being the field loading method. BSA engine was a gem, never failed to start, even after a winters rest, though needed a concrete block hanging underneath to help keep the belt tight. JAP was almost as good, and familiar, as we had a couple driving water pumps. Electric drive would have been useless to us, farm had no power! Those were the days, a well and hand pump in the garden for house water, Vapalux and Tilly lamps for lighting in the cowsheds for milking, that being done with a gasgonie( excuse spelling) vacuum plant, driven by a Lister "D".Cowsheds cleaned by broom and fork, and dung carried to the field store heap by Horse and cart, too wet for the Model "N" Fordson.
