Restoration of a Lister JP3 Generator
Lister JP3 15kVA Generator awaiting restoration
The generator when received was bolted to a 2 wheeled trailer, the complete weight being about 3 tons. The generator unit on its own weighs 4800lb (2182 kg). After restoration the complete unit will be mounted in the rear body of an Albion CX22S Heavy Artillery tractor with just a few inches of space to spare. At present nothing has been done to it apart from starting it to check for correct operation of the generator.
The generator is on the whole very complete. There are some parts not fitted at present such as side panels for the control board and perforated heat protectors for the exhaust system. Parts which are known to missing are an isolator switch and socket from the control board, the tool box trays, and the end of the exhaust pipe has been cut short. This will have to be modified to suit the Albion anyway.
