The 05/28/2015 date stamp on the picture of the 5VT.

 

I think it's more likely that someone can't work their own camera so just leaves a random date on every picture ...

That won't have been an original fitted to 10RB,it isn't big enough at around 18HP. The 10RB  had variously, 3VRO,3VRH ,3YC and 3YDA(air cooled) all around  30-35HP.Also some petrol engine ,usually export variants or electric motor.

2VSO is very suitable for a narrowboat though.?

They still make a clone of this in India, still used to power water pumps, generators, saw benches and numerous farm and industrial equipment.

virtually indestructible and will run on very low quality fuel.

Known as "Listeroids", aren't they? When I read up about them a few years ago, they seemed to be prized by rural Americans who imported them for use in the sort of jobs which you mention.

Edited May 12, 2020 by Athy

Should you import a Listeroid  remember that you are probably  getting a kit of parts.  It will need dismantling and  a good clean out at the very least, some serious fettling at the worst, if you want it to be reliable and long lived.

I think they originally copied the CS 1 and CS 2, after making spare parts for the engines they originally bought from the uk, then went on to make there own, they are made in various factories with some better than others.

Some were imported and marinised by Tony Redshaw about six or seven years ago. I suppose that tighter emissions regulations mean that he can't sell them any more.

Tony was importing the Greaves (big Indian cotton processing machinery company)  version of one of the Rustons. 2YDW possibly?  Greaves actually had a licence to build them.  They too could be a bit of a kit,  till Tony had sorted them.

 

(The cost and impracticability of) Noise tests and emissions tests formally did for them, though I don't believe there was much demand for them in any event.

I remember those but didn't know that Redshaw's were involved. From memory, a chap called something like Phil Jupitus marketed them over here - but that was long before the CS's came over.

I thought it was Phil Lizius of Longboat engineering that supplies the Greaves Ruston clones, but production of these ended. 

Some time later Redshaws introduced their CS2 clone. Still advertised on their website. Sounds a bargain at £8.5k including PRM 260 gearbox.
