This was a project I did a couple of years back, restoring my grandads Lister D from a lump of rust. This is one of the older ones and was built in 1931 and is called a 'shaft drive'. The magneto is shaft driven. Later the magnetos on Lister D's had a sproket and were chain driven. This one used to drive a 50v DC dynamo at one time for house lighting. Dynamo scrapped years ago. Running good but could do with a bit of load to make it run steadier. Might fit a water pump someday.
