Brilliant video but either I'm going deaf or your 🎤 is dodgy.. I'm thinking of buying a non runner 4911 any advice? It has the crystal style cab in it too

Super educational

Excellent stuff

People like Harry Ferguson stood behind their product with the intent of always working to improve. Nowadays it’s a limited life at a high price. th-cam.com/video/aT7KyIzhZjQ/w-d-xo.html

I completed my apprenticeship with the agents for Rolls Royce diesels here in New Zealand. I went on to train as a marine engineer in Germany where i came upon both Perkins and Rolls Royce engines driving generators in ships. I have long retired now and was quite surprised to see this video about Perkins Diesels, so thank you for this

Hi I have worked on quite a few perkins engines and quite a few rolls royce diesel engines but never had to work on a Gardner they just work. In my time as an hgv and plant mechanic Cummins and Cat were king, Gardner were my favourite because they never seemed to go wrong and rolls and perkins struggled to keep there fluids on the inside. I am shure other people have had different experiences but these were mine

The 4.236???

Agree totally with earlier comments i.e. "the two worst things from the good old Morris Minor, the weak gearbox and inadequate front suspension and put them both in the Marina" . In the 1980's I was forever replacing the lower trunnions on Marina's that had seized steering, making turning of the steering wheel almost impossible (due to lack of regular greasing). The front torsion bar suspension was also hideous with little or no 'springing' . The gearbox often self destructed with synchro failure, reverse idler shredding etc. The irony here is I would still love to own a 1.8 TC coupe !!.....

We had truck in Jamaica in the 70s with 6 354

Was the 4.99 that really secured Perkins their world wide name, knocking Daimler Benz off their spot as the global reefer diesel supplier, that engine was bought or license built everywhere for every conceivable application. The most important diesel engine of the last century, pretty much every auto manufacturer who ended up being well known for their diesels used or built their own 4.99-4.108 from VW to Nissan.

Hi I'm new to your channel enjoying the videos , I have a ransom mg 5 market garden(mg) track laying tractor also the ransom made mg 2, mg6 mg 40 it is a single 8 hp with a t20 single trail plough about 1948 ish not complaining just leting you know thanks 👍

You can use this to make a spot welder. Popular for making old school nicd or nimh packs

Mighty stuff Alan, some great detailed information, Thank You👍🙏

In the late 1930s they also made other engines including the S range, S6 and for marine S6M

Frank Perkins Founder son Hugh was my property valuer here in New Zealand. He immigrated here.

I had several MF farm machines with that wonderful engine.

The generators at my workplace have Perkins engines. Run like clockwork

I bought 2850 few weeks back, probably the top of the line model back then. Cosmetically on bad side, but mechanically i didn't find any flaws yet. Hopefully it will serve me good :)

I use a Mf 165 with the 4 cylinder 3.5 litre.

I enjoyed that video. I bought a 83 2140 3 years ago. It has had every single fault u described and more. Ive yet to use it in anger.

Good video. Ive a newholland 376 baler and a newholland knife bar. Good machines..

Thanks for all the history of Fiat tractors. Your mention that a 6.2 liter engine today would produce 500 to 600 HP, but all the modern 500 HP tractors use 12.4 liters or larger engines.

They’re shit if you want to order parts.

Picture from founders Perkins and Chapman (2:15) is taken in front of Helsinki railway station, Finland. I wonder what they have been doing in Helsinki.

While Perkins 6.354 was popular their biggest seller was the 4.236 by a huge margin.

Massey Ferguson tractors were the first vehicles to drive to the South Pole, one was driven by Sir Edmond Hillary.

In my 50+ years of diesel engine rebuilding, the 6.354 was an all time favourite.

Pretty sad that Massey and Perkins have pretty much abandoned their roots.

Growing up in the 70,s in east Meath there was a few Bizon combines I remember the advertised in Farmers journal. Also saw them new at spring show. If I recall they were distributed by the O Shea tractor group in Santry. I think the same importer for Zetor and Ursus. I can recall something about using a Leyland 6 cyc engine. But it may have been like the Forchritte combines stating MAN engines were in fact I think it was a MAN design manufactured in the eastern block communist counties under licence

Now here in Canada perkins was big with MF but nothing else till 80's

The beating heart of many old Masseys. Great video Alan well researched.👍👍

Does anyone know what the Perkins symbol stands for, I have been told, just want to check it's correct.

I have a 1976 case with a 4 cylinder perkins! Still runs like a champ! I'm in kanadasrtan!
