I am trying to get into the world of engine swaps, started with the ever orignal 12 valve into a ford. I quickly found out one is far better off finding your own solutions for fitment of accesories as most of these conversion places sell you cheapo fittings instead of doing any actual research. I used a DCS kit, motor mounts, flex plate, and engine adapter seemed very nice. Everything else was awful. I hope one day to get a John Deere 6359t construction engine into a truck some day.

I miss my old 79 Ford with 6.354 swapped into it.

Looks like the fuel pump is upside down.

Hi, I've been working on the same engine and can't get it to run. Would you be willing to give me some advice?

Nothing nicer than hearing an old motor come to life :)

I got a Perkins 4.236 NT any idea what transmission would bolt up to it?

Need to get the Deutz in my bobcat skid steer going. Bought a new injector pump but haven’t installed it yet. One fall it worked then in the spring it didn’t.

Wanna sell it?

Was this 484 used in a dairy farm to scrape out the manure?

Start position is when the lever with the baler twin on it just touches that small plunger that is sticking out of the barrel.

On the tachometer drive it is usually the bushing on the end of the shaft that wears out allowing the gears on the two shafts not to mate anymore.

In case I missed it....what is the mpg?? Excellent project 👏🏼

Say Doytz not doootz. Should fire up. Good simple rugged engine.

awesome!! i f you rig up a crank position sensor using the GM tone ring you'l have RPM too, if you're piggy backing off the GM ECM...

Good job. Rockford's Rule!

My uncle bought a four cylinder perkins and six speed transmission from a wrecked wonder bread truck. He put in a mid seventies four door GMC pickup. He was a driller and drove his crew to the rig for years in it. Ran about 60 mph on the highway when you got in high gear with just a little throttle. They called it the green lizard, they had a awful green shade they used back then.

Looks like the manifolds off of a regular 6354.4.... thus why I think you added the turbo. No melted pistons?

You said about the turbo, you added it or it had it? Is it a T6 354.4 or a 6354.4 with an added turbo

cool good job..........I did this same swap in a 1985 GMC square body in about 1996.......354 perkins from a 2-105 white tractor( some parts come off a 760 massey combine) had trouble years later w the motor and found a new 6.0l perkins with same mounting( called a Phaser ) still inline 6 but 1998 technology still have it. Let me know if you want more info on it.............Clayton.........Canada

Damn man mount the camera somewhere , as it is all the motion makes watching very difficult !!!

Thanks for the content, good info brother.

I absolutely love that swap. I really like the idea of an old drivetrain in a newer truck. I want to put a 6.2 or 6.5 diesel in a gmt800. If I was you and wanted to make improvements for your swap, I'd look into some sort of overdrive solution.

I have 3:73s in my 74 CH5 Jeep with a 4 speed and it was spinning too fast for the Cummins 4BT. I ended up using an older transfer case with the PTO port so I could put a 25% auxiliary overdrive in. Boy did that ever make it so much nicer to drive. The way a diesel runs with 3:73 in direct, it feels like it wants an overdrive to me. Are you thinking of going to a 5 speed at some point in the future? Thanks for sharing your project.

I dig it.

And you are right about either don’t ever spray a Perkins it will bust pistons but you did a really good job putting it in I’m a believer that what ever it takes to make it work 👍

Change your hydro boost to a vacuum brake booster and then use electric power steering it will give you some power back to the truck

put 3.23 ring gears in it. that thing is red lining at 70mph

6:20 Just a heads up, it looks like an oil breather or drain back tube has come off of a fitting on your oil pan. Now it’s open to have water, dirt/debris fall into your oil pan without the hose connected to it. Why are you running 2 alternators? At first I thought you might have a giant stereo in the truck. 15:10 I see you have a bunch of warning/dummy lights on the dash/instrument cluster. If you take the dash cluster out “ it’s really easy to do if you lower the tilt steering wheel you can remove the bulbs/circuits that make those lights turn on so you don’t have to look at them all the time.

Cool, I have a 1964 IH Loadstar 1800 with Perkins 6.354 turbo. 152 hp stock. Full air brakes, hydraulic power steering, and hydraulic clutch. IH 5 speed with low first gear and 2 speed EATON axle. 25,500 gvw. The engine runs great, and the truck drives very well for what it is. Someone took care of it. The more I learn about the Perkins 6.354 engine, the more I like it. I plan to add a divorced transfer case and modern 4x4 military axles; it will be easy to control the tire inflation and air lockers with the existing air system. Remove grain / dump bed, and install a twin boom Holmes 600. Be a good truck to install a fifth wheel on and use to pull antique tractors to shows. Unique truck itself; never seen another one. Loadstar's around here all have gas engines... I hope I can find a source for parts like gaskets in the US. Maybe tractor dealerships can help me. If not, maybe Canada, Australia, or Great Britain can be a source for parts. Hope to find a Perkins badge for the grill.

Zenith updraft? Oh, and, uh... F I R S T ! ! !

How does it do on fuel mileage? Is it strong enough to tow a heavy trailer?

That’s rad dude!! I picked up a 73 dodge that someone swapped a Perkins into, now I’m on mission to get it back on the road, got a couple videos up now on it.

That would be 77 not 87 leyland tractors went bust early 80s

I hope you have better luck with your radiator I have a 454 and the shop had to have the core made and it took almost two months and keep up the good work on your tractor

I just brought one of these home last week.. it’s been sitting for along time. Not seized though and I’ve had it running but there are a few things missing and more things rusted away.. I got a good look at your video and now I know what the missing parts look like.. great job bringing it back to life.

Have a Lincoln sa250 with a Deutz engine. Over 9,000hrs on the meter, I run it EVERY day, hour meter stopped working 20 years ago.

For sale??

Qwantuz HP? ?

That thick blade sure cuts away a lot of wood. Not like my band mill..

nice had two differant Lane mills , 00 and #1 semi auto.

fantastic!

Hammer Down !

I have one in a Ditch Witch backhoe. A great little engine. 35 hp.

Such a nice show and a great surprise, haven't seen one of these for 50+ yrs, in my opinion you have a treasure with this planer !!

New subscriber here, may I ask how old your mill is ?

I hope you'll have more videos on this project. I love the 84 series.

Love the foot pedal set up for carriage return like to see how that works

That is a Jewel of a planer! Sharp blades will make alot of difference. I have a frick edger that I run with a 25 hp lawn mower engine. I have video on youtube if you what to see it. Type in 12 horse power woodpecker, and I think you can get to my videos. Have a Great Evening!

Yep sounds like a Massey alright. Cool truck man

A very good sawyer
