question about perkins diesel

buzzinduzzin · Oct 28, 2015

I have a chance to buy a couple of 510 massey combines with what I believe are 354 diesel engines.assuming these engines are in decent running condition, is it cost prohibitive to install them in a tractor that is equipped for a 354 ? In other words are combine & tractor 354 enough alike to be interchanged without a lot of high priced parts?
thanks in advance

Sometimes combine engine crankshafts are not bored for a pilot shaft on a transmission. Don't know if this is the case here but there are a lot of 354 Perkins for different applications.....Ron

That one in a 510 would fit most tractors equipped with those engines. As long as you have the original tractor engine to get the pan,front cover,manifolds etc,your only expense would be for gaskets.

A perkins mechanic tolld me there are 107 different versions of that engine. Dont know if its true or not.

I have a 1850 with a 354T out of a MF 750. Can't be too hard, I did it. Chris

The pilot bearing....should be in the flywheel....not in the crank.
