I am fairly certain that the oil filters on the ST range were spin on, so based on the information Craig has supplied and the type of filter you have fitted, an SR1 engine looks to be a reasonably safe bet.

Hi David. Listers did produce a range of engines in the ST range. In your case a single cylinder denotes it is an ST1. A company called Sleemen and Hawken are agents for Lister parts and can be found on eBay. They are based in Teignmouth in Devon and can be contacted directly at sales@sleeman-hawken...

Hi Ronan. David Cornwallis looks to be the best bet on this one. I have found a PH parts list on his website and on page 2 it shows the engine ID plate with the engine number and the first two digits which signify the year. Something sticks in my mind to ascertain the year you add 50 on to the numbe...

It was good to see some of the photos in the book which were of the poste...

Hi Angus. Quite a number of IH scrapers made it over to the UK in the 1950's and 60's. Many of which were operated by Lumley Plant based in Stratford-Upon-Avon adjacent to the main IH dealer - Saville Tractors head office. They were quite likely involved with the type of work you have described in y...

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and all the best for 2021
Stay safe.

Hi Jim. When you find the chassis number, I think you will probably need a written statement confirming the VIN or chassis number from Winget to satisfy DVLA. I used to be asked for this sort of information quite regularly from people asking to register Volvo trucks of that sort of era. See link bel...
