To My way of Thinking you're going to have to make 2 Loads out of that..!
It Looks far Too long to fit on a Flat Top Trailer, & if you load the Truck on the Lowboy then load that on a Flat Top, you will be (I think) Too High..!!
Also what are the Loading Unloading facilities at either end Like.??

Ahhh the perks of being a British colony. Old lister engines probably everywhere down there. Sadly they were never really common here. Then India cloned them. The quality of the the clones is shotty at best. They need completely torn down, and cleaned of casting sand and reassembled before they can be run. Our EPA banned the importing of them a while back and you don’t hardly see any at all now. Some people try to sneak them in as “air compressors” with the injection pump removed but I think the customs people are wise to that now. They are certainly a unique engine. If you know then you know…..
India is a good source of Parts for them, Though they won't let you bring in Headgaskets anymore 'cause they contain asbestos..!!

I am building a "shop built" generator. Below is the power source. Its a clone of a Lister CS single cylinder diesel. Its rated at 8hp at 650 rpm. I will be turning a 6kW Allis Chalmers generator head originally meant to be driven off the belt pulley of a tractor. Its a 4 pole head so I will need to speed it up to 1800rpm for 60hz power. Its all really just a fun fabrication and design project. I will have an insane amount of money into it just to put out a measly 6kW. And it wont be all practical since it will be so heavy and stationary. I think the bare engine is around 1100 pounds. I figure another 1000 pounds or so for the I-beam skid I am going to build and the generator head. For standby power now I have a little vintage 3500 watt Kohler with a Briggs engine on it that puts out 220V I can back feed my panel with enough to run my natural gas furnace, the refrigerator and a few lights. I also have the coal stove and a variety of old wood stoves for heat if things get real bad.
That will last forever & a day..!!!
I've Got a 1926 Lister Petrol Motor (The Crankcase,Flywheels ect Look Indentical to That) That I drive My Sawbench with & cut All our Firewood with..! -

Me, Nothing It's NOT for sale.
Him: Well What's It worth ??
Me: Nothing..!!
Him: Well then, How much Does It owe You?
Me: Absolutely Nothing...In Fact I owe It, Just about everything you can see here has been paid for with it's Earnings..!! What Part of NO Don't you understand..!!

44 minutes ago, other dog said:And on a sad note, the little arrow head cat died. We have no idea why, she was perfectly healthy, at least she appeared to be, and the other morning she was laying on the bed looking out of the window. Then a minute later she was laying under the kitchen table dead. No clue as to why, or what happened, just that quick she was dead.
When I Die that's how I want to Do it... None of this been sick/unhealthy for Months/Years............
Not that I will have any say in the Matter...😥

Welcome, Caleb. I'm Sure We'll get your Truck issues sorted..
3 hours ago, CalebB said:The truck has not been on the road since 1997.
After sitting for that length of Time the entire Air/Brake system will need a good dose of TLC, to ensure It's safe to use..
I'd see if you can use some "Shop Air" to pump up the Tank & Test if the Brakes ect are working as they Should.
I'd also ensure that the Brass/Steel line directly out of the Compressor isn't Carboned up. The unloader valve sticking has already being Mentioned..
Just methodically go through all the Basics before spending money on a another Air compressor. would be My advice...Tax free Today..lol
