correct.the SR.LD.LR &SL all used the same rocker cover.the SL was the forerunner to the SR the SR was a great engine got a lot of lister bits& pieces if you ever need any.

your engine should have a plate on the side cover that the injector pumps are behind this plate should give the engine NO and the HP these engines were used a lot in dumpers and generators

the SR has all the cylinder studs inside the rocker cover the ST& HA&HR has two of the studs outside you can see the cut away on the rocker cover

your engine is a lister JP4 the red painted screws are screwed in to start when the engine is running you screw them out hope this helps

your lister is model ST 3 the HP depended on the RPM of the engine

from the look of the radiator i would say the lister is a JPmodel if it runs at 1000 rmp it could be 110 DC set could you post a few pics of the engine

Hello my name is John I joined a few days ago I live in N.Ireland I own a Bedford M.J & a Leyland Hippo which I bought a short time ago. I also have an ex military Lighting Plant.I have a few other bits of vintage equipment not military related if its old I like it

Thanks for the info will see what I can find out

Hi Peter I,m new myself and not to sure on computers.would you have any knowledge on J.P 4 listers driving a 110V D.C dynamo .I have one in a dismantled state it was laying in a hedge for years but all parts are there I believe it was for searchlights it is dated 1939 eve

Hi do you take your bike to any of the vintage rallies here in Norn Iron

Thanks for the welcome.I.ll provide more info when I get the hang of this forum thingy .Regards John

The hippo was built in 1945.I know nothing of its history but I,m sure there is some way i can find out . My bedford came from the T/A I am the first owner on its release from the T/A. It was bought at an ex M.O.D sale in Belfast.The hippo was bought on E bay in St Annes Lancs.I also have a Lister generator with a J.P.4 engine and a 110 volt dc dynamo which I belive powered searchlights during the war it was built in 1939.the generator engine is dismantled but I think complete. I hope to start rebuilding soon I will post some photo,s as soon as I find out how

I am the new owner of the hippo it needs a bit of T.L.C but everthing works and it goes fine.I also own a Bedford MJ. I am not to good at working this forum thing so excuse my mistakes:)

This Hippo is now in N/Ireland drove there without a problem:)
