90 year old LISTER ENGINE Renovation Part3. Portugal Farm Life

90 year old LISTER ENGINE Part3
In a series of videos from Quinta Fonte da Pipa. Real Portuguese farm life.
Today in Part3 Alex fixes the broken pump ready to be fitted to the repaired pipes you will see in Part 4 which will be the Final episode in this small series.
Some time ago a large pine tree fell breaking our pump, so we are taking the opportunity to renovate the running 90 year old Lister Engine that runs the water pump.
The stationary engine is a Lister CS 12-2.

** ABOUT US **
We are an English family, Alex Molly and Sandra living the Portugal farm life.
This year will be our seventh year here so we have a lot to share.
We thought it would be a great idea to start a CZcams channel so we can share our daily lives with you.
* Bringing you every aspect of our daily farm lives, including Molly and Alex cooking amazing meals in our old wood fired Portuguese bread oven and sharing our recipes with you, plus everything involved in running a working goat farm.
Follow us as we renovate the building around our old bread oven and other buildings on the farm with natural materials, re-building and planting the vegetable patch after the fire destroyed it all.
Building the goats new sheds, our days with the goats, births and milking them.
Molly making soaps and many types of cheeses from our own goats milk.
Watch what we grow, getting water back on the farm, daily farm life and chores, visiting local sites and showing you the local area.
Plus lots more......... and the milking goats!
"Quinta" stands for 'farm' in Portuguese. "Fonte da Pipa" means "Source of the Barrel"

Good job for the weld, I know how tough Cast can be.

[@FontedaPipaPortugueseFarmLife]

Thanks, i was worried it would just fall apart again but it is fine, the pipes and large blue taps above it are not supported and are extremely heavy so the weld is holding all that up... so far so good.
Have had some issues with the pump sucking in air from the 'packing' around the pump shaft... i cant get tools in there to measure so it is hard to find the right waxed cord to get a good seal, i am trying a few different diameters until i find the right one.

Wow, you are very lucky to own that pump, they are worth a fortune in the USA, great job as usual.

[@FontedaPipaPortugueseFarmLife]

Fantastic Job, I am sure most of us would have hesitated or not even attempted what you have managed to repair on this pump.
