I have one in a shrimp boat--worked it for 10 seasons in Mississippi. The boat was vandalized in Alabama and the engine got water in it. Now I need another engine--looking for a turbo version though. It's a great engine, good on fuel and never used any oil. Also, we ran the engine for several seasons at 195 degrees while trawling--finally sorted out cooling problems (clogs) in the exhaust elbow, fixed that and the temp never got over 180 degrees. Not a showy engine--the rich guys always had CATs, Cummins or Volvos, but they spent more time at the fuel dock than I did.

I think they are GREAT! I have a 01' 6280MF
tractor with a 110hp 6/354. It is a nice engine
and it will start at 0 degrees ....all of my other
MF experience with 1100's was the same.
They start good when it is cold. As long as they are not wore out!

I'm in North Dakota, and the common use of the 354 up here in the wheatlands was Massey combines.

My opinion is that you couldn't hardly kill that engine unless you overheated it, or ran it out of oil. Of course, in the combine application, they were often overheated, and caused problems, and earned a bad name with some people.

Perkins 354s are very common, very reliable and relatively inexpensive to rebuild. MF used them in the 1100, 1130 and many later model tractors. Oliver/White used them in 1850, 2-85 and 2-105 models.
