Cheshire cat Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 I can see it's a three cylinder but what is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frangar Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Possibly a Lister FR3….but it doesn’t look quite right for some reason….think the changeover levers might have been altered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmr Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 I also think its a Lister, and most likely made in Dursley. The presence of fuel pipes rather than spark plugs woud suggest that its a diesel. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frangar Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 A quick Google image search does indicate that’s it an FR3 that’s missing a cover plate and rocker cover fastenings amongst other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRs came in industrial and marine versions. The marine versions got an M suffix (as in FR3M). This one is an industrial. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might have been a Marine Auxiliary as well (MA suffix) as well as just the M which tended to mean a propulsion set as there was with JP's but Im not 100% sure about that for the FR range. But as you say this is definitely an industrial FR...Ive heard they are now harder to get parts for than JP's...but there again I dont think they were in production for as long or as popular.
