watching this was music to my ears...my first job at browne baileys sheffield in 1968 was driving one of these around the factory to different departments. great video wish i owned the lister!
fantastic little trucks i rode one of these daily for 2/12 years whilst working for b r e l derby used to carry various items around the works two speed was quite fast
Love these little trucks, and yours looks brilliant, I really like it. - Your cameraman needs a little practise in some areas, I wanted to see more of the engine whilst you were describing it, other wise a great video to watch. Thanks I enjoyed that. :-)
We used to have autotrucks (a little bigger and more modern) in the dockyards at Portsmouyh and Devonport in the 80's, great fun to drive the best trick with them was to see if you could get them "up" on 2 wheels and see if you could drive along.
Very nice, how does the drive down to the wheel work and the two speeds? I have a two speed electric start twin i must still fetch from my mothers farm.
How much do these go for now? I love old small engines. Would love anything lister powered but perhaps not looking in right places. Always hanging around the mechanical displays at the Kent Show so will ask next year!
Thanks for your comment, And yes i know what you mean, my son was the camera man! Getting some more videos of some of my engines coming up, watch this space!
jimthvac100 I know; it was my son and he was quite young and inexperienced. He is a lot better now. He went to the New York academy and now works in the film industry in Mexico!!!!! Couldn't make it up !!!! Still got the old truck. Cheers
We can tell you are still 10 at heart. Nice autotruck
Fantastic machine, I drive a twin cylinder one quite often and its quite an animal!

Well there's an idea for my engine !
Damn I love that thing.
Remember working on these years ago, they were everywhere at one time, I got fed up with constant punctures on the front wheel!.
that looks like really good fun.
Brilliant & looks good fun
I used to drive these in the late 60s and early 70s when I worked at the Mellanear Works in Bootle.😂
Boy I would like one of them.

@gertsafari Hi, It has a chain drive to the clutch then shaft drive into the gearbox. Get your's going would love to see it. Cheers

camera man could show mostly engine ))) and in general is evil doer by character and intentions
You need a new camera man, he had camera pointed just at your face when he should of been pointing at the engine while you were telling us about it.
