Starter Motor?

[Large]

Does anyone know which make and model starter motor will fit an elderly two cylinder Lister Petter diesel as fitted in a three ton dumper?

Youll have to measure up the fitting holes etc

Thanks for your reply, does this mean there are several different starters fitted to this engine?

If you have checked and your starter definitely need changing @ACEngineering do high speed starters, he may well be able to help. If you want to fault find your own starter shout ............

Thanks. It looks like @john432 is already on the case so happy to leave him too it cause I know nothing about listers and surprised iskra/mahle even list a starter for one let alone several types!

The mahle Letrika catalogue seem to cover a vast range of applications, first thing @Large needs to do is remove the old starter (if one is fitted) and look for and ID numbers etc, failing that , the list above basically shows 2 or 3 bolt fixing , and a choice of either 12 or 24 volt motors, and different power ratings. ,Or given the exact engine model details from the plate , then a bit of cross referencing would probably source the correct starter.

Sorry @john432 didn't mean to complicate things, I must read all the replies before adding my bit.

Hi John, Many thanks, If there was a starter allready fitted it would be very easy, but just the hole where one should fit.

No your quite correct, the OP should check the original starter first, could be something simple like burnt contacts.

Edit
Did think it might not have a starter fitted!

We probably could help you if we got the engine info off the name plate. And are there 2 or 3 holes in the mountings?

Presumably you've checked if there is a ring gear on the flywheel? I've a single cyl Lister with a hole for a starter but there was never a ring gear fitted. If yours has one,you'll also need to check the direction of rotation. Some ran clockwise,some ran anti-clockwise.

 

[Mursal]

Some Lister engines turned anti-clockwise looking in from the front, never knew ............

Hi, There is a ring gear on the flywheel. The flywheel turns clockwise. There are three mounting studs, not symetrical. two centres at 4 inches, the other 5 7/8"

Hi, I will see if I can find an engine plate, the engine is a PH2 I believe.

 

[agrimax]

You could try a starter of a DB 990 up to a 1494. Am nearly sure it will fit. (Will fit a FE 35 4 cylinder too.)

Clockwise looking in from the front?
If not you have an odd ball, so be careful with starter direction.

Got me thinking, just took cover plate of one on the power pack for splitter. 2 cylinder
No teeth on fly wheel , gutted.
Several in bone yard tho with gear ring .......

Most listers turn opposite direction to anything else caught out loses of people before
