Lister Petter TS, TR 2000 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a Lister Petter TS or TR and ended up with something that didn’t fit, you know the headache. That’s why this factory Lister Petter TS, TR 2000 Parts Catalog exists — to kill guesswork. I’ve been turning wrenches for almost three decades, and I’ve seen more mislabeled aftermarket parts than I care to count. This book is the real deal: printed by Lister Petter Limited in 2000, 194 pages, direct from the OEM. No reprints, no third-party translations that swap dimensions mid-sentence. You get the same diagrams and part numbers the dealer uses.

Page 2 confirms the manual is Issue 9, May 2000, published under part number 027-08030. That’s important because earlier editions may list superseded parts. Page 3 includes the English and French introductions explaining how to read the part-number system — critical when you’re trying to distinguish between a standard bearing and an undersize main bearing. This is the kind of detail you don’t get from a generic knockoff.

Engine Identification and Order Number Code

Every Lister Petter TS or TR engine has a unique order number stamped on a plate attached to the rocker cover. Page 3 walks you through decoding that number. The format looks like: 43 (year code) – 00014 (sequential number) – TS2 (model) – A (direction) – 001 (variant). If there’s a “9” before the order number, that engine is non-standard. You need that code before ordering anything, or you’ll likely get the wrong part. I’ve seen shops order a piston for a TS2 when they needed a TS3, and that’s a half-day waste. This catalog forces you to check.

Part Numbers vs. Illustration Numbers: A Common Pitfall

There’s a trap that catches new mechanics: the illustration number and the part number are not the same. Page 3 spells it out: “Les pièces de rechange devraient être commandées en indiquant le numéro de la pièce, et non le numéro de l’illustration.” In English: order by part number, not the figure number on the diagram. The catalog uses callouts on the drawings that match the list, but you still must reference the correct column. If you skim this section, you’ll end up with a cylinder head gasket that’s for a completely different series. I’ve seen it happen.

Oversize and Undersize Parts: Main Bearings, Pistons, Rings

These engines get rebuilt. The manual lists main bearings and big-end bearings available undersized, and pistons and rings oversize. Pistons are supplied with rings, pin, and circlips as a set — you don’t order the piston separately. Page 3 notes that rings are only sold as a complete set. If you try to order individual rings from an aftermarket supplier, you’ll get a mismatch. The catalog gives you the Lister Petter part numbers for every oversize increment. This alone can save a rebuild from turning into a parts chase.

Does This Manual Cover All TS and TR Variants?

It covers TS and TR models as of 2000. The introduction states: “the record of the parts used on Lister-Petter TS and TR engines together with alterations and modifications that have been effected.” So it includes earlier engines and any updates up to May 2000. If your engine is a later production or a special OEM variant (like a generator set with a modified flywheel), you may need a supplement. Check the cover page for “Issue 9” — that’s the last release before Lister Petter restructured. For most shop work, this catalog is sufficient. If you need the workshop manual with torque specs and repair procedures, look at the Lister Petter TS, TR, TX Workshop Manual Edition 12 — that’s the companion document.

3 Ways This Parts Catalog Keeps You Out of Trouble

First, it prevents ordering the wrong undersize bearing because you misread a chart. Second, it stops you from buying a part that was superseded six years ago. Third, it gives you the official part number format that any Lister Petter dealer will recognize. Using this catalog is like having the factory parts department on your bench. The alternative is calling three suppliers and hoping they don’t send the wrong thing. I’d rather trust the book that was printed by the people who built the engine.

Why Factory Documentation Over Aftermarket Reprints

Aftermarket parts catalogs often copy diagrams from earlier editions and miss the later revisions. The Lister Petter parts catalog was updated to Issue 9 for a reason — parts change, suppliers change, dimensions get corrected. If you use a third-party PDF that says “covers all TS models” but doesn’t specify the issue number, you’re gambling. OEM documents like this one have traceable publication numbers, edition dates (May 2000), and copyright statements. That matters when you’re about to drop $400 on a cylinder head and need to be certain it’s the late-style casting.

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a workshop manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and illustrations. For torque values and repair procedures, you need the workshop manual.

How do I know if a part listed in this catalog is superseded by a newer number?

Lister Petter occasionally supersedes parts due to design improvements. The catalog includes notes for some supersessions, but if you have an engine built after 2000, you should cross-check the part number with the latest service bulletin. Because this is Issue 9 (May 2000), any part that was changed after that date won’t appear here. However, for the vast majority of TS and TR engines running today (pre-2000 builds), this catalog is authoritative. If you’re rebuilding a 1998 TS2, you can order directly from these pages with confidence — just verify the order code on your engine’s plate first.

If you work on Lister Petter TS or TR engines, this catalog belongs in your toolbox. It’s 194 pages of factory-correct part numbers, grouped by assembly, with exploded views that show exactly how everything goes together. Don’t waste time hunting down parts through trial and error.
