Lister Stationary Engine with AJAX Water Pump 4'x5' - Vintage Industrial Machinery
This is a substantial vintage Lister stationary Water pump with engine assembly, a robust piece of industrial heritage machinery built for reliable long-term service in agricultural, municipal, or industrial applications. Lister engines are renowned for their durability and longevity, and this unit represents the solid engineering standards of mid-20th century British manufacturing.
The machine is presented as a complete pump and engine assembly. The engine features the characteristic Lister green paint finish, with visible casting details and robust construction throughout. The pump assembly includes substantial cast iron components, multiple connection points for suction and discharge lines, and a large diameter flywheel with visible gear teeth indicating a geared drive configuration. The unit shows the patina consistent with industrial use and age, with surface oxidation and weathering typical of equipment that has seen genuine working service. All major castings appear structurally sound with no visible cracks or fractures. The flywheel rotates freely, and the overall mechanical integrity appears intact.
This type of equipment was commonly used for water pumping, irrigation, or general industrial fluid transfer applications. The substantial construction and proven Lister reliability make this an attractive proposition for collectors of vintage industrial machinery, heritage restoration projects, or operators seeking authentic period equipment for specialist applications. These engines are known for their ability to run for decades with basic maintenance, and spare parts remain available through specialist suppliers.
Condition
The engine and pump assembly shows honest wear consistent with age and industrial use. Paint finish is weathered with surface oxidation and patina throughout, particularly visible on the cast iron components. The green enamel finish remains largely intact with no major flaking or loss. All visible bolts, fasteners, and connection points appear present and secure. The timber pallet base shows age-appropriate wear with no structural compromise. The unit has been stored outdoors, resulting in surface corrosion typical of vintage cast iron machinery, but no deep pitting or structural damage is evident. The assembly is complete and appears mechanically sound, though full operational testing would be recommended prior to commissioning.
