I was more impressed with the expertise provided by his boss. Kid is going to be a rockstar mechanic jack of all trades. Best part was the HP printer fix.
That fixed it... Looks like the gunked up injector pumps were what stopped it going originally. Then the monkeys got inside and made it a permanent stop. Luckily they left all the spare bits inside. Reminds me of a "jumping Jack" trench rammer I picked up a few years ago. It ran, but pretty awful. The problem was water had run down the vertical shaft on the carburettor and gunked up the jets & float bowl. Easy to fix, however the monkeys had been there before me and mislaid a speed control linkage. Ordered one from the States and it runs really well now. Handy bit of kit. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to us all.
You've almost got a complete set of road engineering stock - bulldozer, road grader, front loader, excavator, tractors with different light grading attachments, now a vibratory roller! Just remember to calculate how much money it would cost for a contractor to come out to grade the road, or smooth it with the roller, or repair the road after a culvert's washed out. When you get home, kiss your sweetie and say "I just saved us $2500 (whatever the cost would have been) with that roller! Let's go out for dinner!" That has kept me in the clear through 35 years of dragging all sorts of abandoned tools and machinery home for repair.
It's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission! I know quite well how that works. Done it for 54 years with the same sweet lady. Really enjoy all your videos. Thanks 🇨🇦
Awesome old unit! Its really similar to my small red one. I really like the tag along rollers! its funny I'm working on a roller video right now myself when I saw your video!
G'day mate, thanks for stopping by. Yes there have been a lot of comments about your roller on this vid.. seems like we have similar tastes in clapped out machines 😂
I love watching both Marty T and Diesel creek videos. Thank you guys for satisfying my need for this sort of hands on material. As a New Zealander living in Australia, you feed my inner need for home, Marty, and Matt, well, you are a hero my friend. I watch my RUclips feed for new stuff from both of you. Please don’t stop, even when your wives say enough is enough. So very many guys like me just love what you do and that you take the time and effort to allow us to come along for the ride. You guys, both of you, not only provide GREAT material, but are great ambassadors for where you’re from! Thank you!
I like the new feature: "How flat can it be?" The leaky engine will just help keep the dust down. Your supervisor is doing a fine job. Great video! Thanks!
Nice ending. It's amazing some engines work after 100 years, but you are lucky to get 10 years out of electronic junk. It makes you wonder which is the more "green" option.
Ha ha! Fixed it!😅 Marty the roller would probably be even better with more weight.. say 3 or 4 barrels of water tied to it 😊 and if you wet the area before you roll it, it’ll compact better.
I worked at Listers in Dursley 60 odd years ago, manufacturing these engines. They're difficult to break. My favourite though was the water cooled CS range which were made by Listers from 1930 until the 1970's. Then the Indian manufacturers took over and are still making them, substantially unchanged - a 92 year production run - so far!
When you find a winning formula you don't want to deviate like we do in the usa....we could screw up a perfectly good product with stupidity and over thinking..
I’ve been told they’re illegal over here in the USA so people import them as air compressors and add the fuel system later. They’re supposed to be extremely efficient as a generator and they aren’t picky about what oil you use as fuel.
We had a Diesel Electric Set Rental Company. Had many a engine on a generator at different KW. We had many Listers and they just went and worked well. Also had many V.M Motori out of Italy also air-cooled . Just something about air-cooled in that rental application that worked well and dependable
For what it's worth, you are an inspiration Marty. Perhaps you edit out the errors and the expletives, but you prove once more one man's scrap is another man's workhorse. Great to see the young padewan so keen to help the master too.
Great video many thanks once again just shoes someone was quick to give up on this and you Marty never fail us yet again 😀 You win again I learn lots again
The work on the roller was great to watch but my wife and I cheered when we saw the last scene!! Oh how I have wanted to do that so many times...a cathartic conclusion. Thanks
The wonderful thing about those vibrating mechanisms is, even if they're off kilter in a major way they still get the job done, after all, they're supposed to be unbalanced. Clapped out bearings? Just adds more vibration.
Just another episode of Marty T, Machine Whisperer! LOL! Ok, that's the last time for that. I'm running down the same mental checklist you are as what to check for. It just seems so natural to us that it may be amazing to someone else is a bit weird. I had a friend ask if there was anything I couldn't fix. I popped up and said, "A broken heart. But I'm working on it.". She just laughed. Matt @ Diesel Creek had an expensive run-in with a large towable vibrating roller. Check him out. Cheers Terry
Kiwi ingenuity, a lot of the time Marty works on his own. Like me he probably learnt a lot of these tricks of an old fulla, ie tyres, diesel, diesel oil 2 to one mix cheap rust inhibitor. We live on a coastal environment with gravel roads as well , so we spray the underside take it for a dusty two km run , spray again repeat the process twice. Spray inside door panels with refined waste diesel oil, vegetable oil, 3% petrol just to help thin for spraying.
That's about when the biggest weather storm hits. Marty to the rescue. She will have second thoughts about getting rid of hubby's collection. Marty has all of the machines needed to fix all of his property and some.
As long as you have better luck than Diesel Creek did with his you should be all good! The shaft the roller rides on had sheared off on his 😵. Looks like she's in decent shape!
Glad to finally see a lister on the channel although she's very tired they still run when they are totally worm out have restored a lot of these and when in good order you can stand on the starting handle and not bounce over compression thank goodness for decompressers or electric start if your really posh! That pushrod wants a cheeky straighten out with a hammer though depending which series it is some of the smaller ones have aluminium injector sleeves that have asbestos washers in so watch out if you ever fiddle with bits like that! Parts availability here in the UK is excellent for most of the engine types Sleeman and Hawkins are the biggest stock holder of parts but plenty of others as well! Might make a strong candidate for some serious tinkering time to restore her back maybe? Thanks again for the super content always enjoy a Marty T notification coming up! 😁😁👍
Good advice thanks mate, my first time playing with a lister, they are cool old engines. I can imagine popping around in a lister powered boat would be great fun
@@MartyT I love playing with old listers! My favourite past time! Have had plenty through my hands over the years! My particular favourite is the H range big twins I have a 2.1 Litre HR2 lister diesel that powers a 68ft steel narrowboat definately nothing better than put putting along in a boat with a Lister inside! 😁😁😁
@@MartyT I did a lot of my carpentry apprentiship @ Mt Cook (mid 70's) building a big shed for the Ministry of Jerks up on Blackburch Fan. My boss got a hold of a Lister powered mobile concrete plant. My job was to load, mix, tip & look after the mixer. That Lister just ran all day long.
The first thing that came to my mind when I clicked on the video was “I wonder what the Mrs. will say?” then you made that clear. LMAO, still chuckling. It's funny how they keep quiet when the little projects we bring home end up doing the job and saving us money! 😀
I...I can't believe you got that running. I fast forwarded the video after I saw how messed up the internals were because I thought, "this will be one of those autopsy videos of a dead motor". But no! It's alive again....I'm floored
I'm really pleased you gave it a good go & brought that Lister back to life. You've rescued it twice! Once from scrapping & then got him running. Super pleased to see you do it fella 👍
Hi M , i needed to rest up sore back , so Fri 30, 6 ,23 came and went it was a V wet day in Edinburgh Scotland so i watched you tinkering with the Hough , and the Lister engine roller your Nick Name should be Marty the engine whisperer, because I think off camera i think you talk to them and you tell them after iv tinkered with you you better run or your going to the scrapman . I do the same thing with all kind of small machinery, grass cutters all makes , Sthil strimmers chainsaws hedge cutters , then all else in between, keep making videos Marty so much more entertaining than the TV Stan. Oh an by the way you did an excellent job of refurbishing the double wheel trailer .
Back in my teenage years there were a few smaller fishing boats at Westport with Lister diesel motors. As kids we spent many weekends fishing off Westport with local boat owners, didn't get paid, just took some fish home for the family. One or two boats had small single banger petrol engines that i went out on. No life jackets in those days, how risky was that, especially coming back in over the bar during a surge. Still here, i guess it wasn't my time Mart, LoL.
I am always hooked how chilled out Marty is when working on a machine that seems too far gone but always makes 'em come back to life. Always a fan bro 💪❤ from Papua New Guinea
By the way, as a young kid growing up in Marlborough I worked in the shearing sheds and a lot of the sheds ran Lister engines, and they are more than likely still there, they were an honest reliable engine back in the day🙏🙏🙏
You're just like my grandpa was; patient and calm. He'd also take piles of crap and make them function again. You've earned a subscription from me and thank you for sharing what you do with us. I enjoyed seeing the kiddo working with you...my son does the same with me.
Marty, you are a magician when it comes to getting old equipment running again. I really admire your mechanical skills, mate! Thanks for showing us how to get it done.
Unloading the roller by chaining it to a skid of tires pulled in a change of direction? Brilliant! That's why I love this guy. He could start a Model T at the bottom of the ocean.
Another great purchase and save Marty and a bit of a change up but very entertaining. You’ve got some great bits of machinery now to do all the maintenance work you’ll need for your roads. Great stuff, thanks for posting
I had a good idea what was wrong with that lister before you lifted of the trailer it’s about the only thing iv seen go wrong with them seized injector pumps with sitting abit of diesel and a heat gun brings them round. You can pull the injector’s and dismantle and clean the nozzle and lap them with some brasso to get the spray pattern back. It may improve starting etc. Just Leave the injector spring tension well alone if you do pull the injectors
You found one! Good on ya mate. That surely will make good work of that rough shale rock on your roads. Just remember: slow and easy is the way. (Great for printer repairs too............😎)
That counter balance of tyres and heavy frame while releasing the roller was classic.
It was like launching a ship
Marty's ingenuity on display. That's why I love this channel.
I was more impressed with the expertise provided by his boss. Kid is going to be a rockstar mechanic jack of all trades. Best part was the HP printer fix.

If she says no more engines then he'll probably bring back so 100-150 year old steam boiler powered device...

Knackered engine? Marty comes along “no it’s not knackered”😂😂👍🏻🏴👍🏻
We'll mate,nice to see a clever bugger at work. Thanks 😊 for the intertamant.
Amazing mind you have Marty!
Love those old Lister diesels (& the Gardners). Great to see it running again!
Mate you really really know your stuff what a great job I’ve seen this about 2/3time and it still love it.
Omg Marty!! The smile that came across my face when that engine fired up!!!!😂💯👍👍👍
Once again, you work your magic!!!!
That was awesome. I love how you bring back to life machines others gave up on. Good old kiwi ingenuity
Awesome. . Mahalo for the ride.

At least he's watching, tho I do detect some fem clap trap he'll need to dispose of to obtain Marty's patience.
An industrial vibrator how could any woman be disappointed with something so versatile. Good work.
Another old piece of machinery lives to see another day. Good on ya mate!
Great video many thanks once again just shoes someone was quick to give up on this and you Marty never fail us yet again 😀 You win again I learn lots again

Hell yeah that roller he had was a real mission . Dieselcreek is cool too .
Diesel Creek and Marty T. are the only two nutheads I'm following. Not sure why though.
my first thought damn he got unlucky
Marty the Marlborough magician .... that A4 printer now does posters and the kids BMX bike fits the narrowest of mountain trails.
Nothing better than the obligatory destruction of random items such as bikes and printers. Keep up the good work mate 👍
Laughs I had some HP products and what you did to fix the situation is right on. I will never ever buy another HP
Of the 563 channels I'm subscribed to on youtube your channel is my absolute favourite.
I bet you say that to all the channels
@@MartyT - For what you do, you are Number One. 👍
I pretty much learned to drive on a DB 990, and we had a single piston Lister to run the water pump, and a bigger one to run the shearing shed.
All I can say is Wow!!!
When I still lived with mom, I fixed everything. Finally, after I left home, she got some new stuff.
How ever long these are, they are never long enough matey = ) Hope you and the fam are all safe and well. All best and thank you !

Haha. Office Space, mate. Nicely done. Enjoyed it, Marty.
You mean there's a smooth bit of the driveway somewhere? It's good to see these old machines having a new life...
He has a road grader, two bulldozers, three front-end loaders, and a back blade. Frankly, I'm surprised there's a rough patch left.
Your Controlled Dismount is a stroke of genius!
Just absolutely fascinating entertainment right here! Love it man
