R Cubed Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi all, I have a green ( if that's any help ) 3 cylinder Lister diesel engine, and need to carry out an oil change, would anyone know what the recommended oil to use in it is, and how much of it ? The next question you are all going to ask is what type is it !!!! I have no idea, might get some pics later today, so can anyone point me to a web site which shows the different engines ?

You have not given any indication of its size. Lister made engines of numerous sizes and types. I am assuming this is quite large, and thinking that it may be one of the wartime generator power units. If it is, it will water cooled and have a starting handle with adjacent decompressor lever, then on the side of each head, a half compression cock.

R Cubed Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 It has a starting handle and electric start, there are 3 de-compression levers on top of rocker covers see pics, bottom pic is of the opposite end to flywheel and cooling fan, shaft for starting handle. I would say its about 200 to 300 Kg's !!!! Would like to know the Model and type if possible with engine size cc and HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I was going to guess SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmclaughlin1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I was going to guess SR 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 As I said it was only a guess, I was going to look at my SR2 to compare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi all, I have a green QUOTE] I believe the company colour was green, must admit often seen these 3 cylinder engines in 40`s-50`s White`s ground care rollers quite a few of which survive to-day.

R Cubed Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) your lister is model ST 3 the HP depended on the RPM of the engine The engine is not governed so it has a hand throttle but I don't know what the max rev's is ? doesn't sound very high though !! Fitted in a hydraulic driven tracked chain trencher, able to cut a 4 inch wide trench up to 4 feet deep and as long as you like !!!!!! and having a digging back hoe at the other end makes it a useful bit of kit.

jmclaughlin1 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 The engine is not governed so has a hand throttle but I dont knoe the max rev's does not sound very high !! 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) My SR is in the Hydraulic powerpack that worked the lifting ram, when my trailer was being used to test runways. The lift ram lifted the 50 Ton Dyson trailer, ballasted to 70 tons, on a single ram working down onto a steel plate on the runway surface, Steel plates varied from 27" down to 9" diameter. Hydraulic pump gives adjustable pressure up to 4000 PSI. The round knob under the guage alters the pressure.

jmclaughlin1 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Like this 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.
