I still have a Perkins V8 540 55kva gen set running our 3 phase workshop machinery 🇬🇧👍 She sounds awesome & is totally bomb proof...... But It used to be very thirsty 12-16 litres an hour depending on load & was always very smokey ( lot crankcase pressure). Therefore had Injection pump & injectors reconditioned ,no noticeable improvement. Still very smokey, fitted new performance K&N air filters & new oil filter change, rerouted breather pipes into oil catch can didn't have any improvement............. Rather than do full engine overhaul (new rings etc) Experimented running it with 2 x 24 volt 1700 watt HHO generators( 1 each bank cylinders) Smoke disappeared , crankcase pressure disappeared...................... She runs whole lot sweeter & only uses 6-8 litres red diesel an hour now & About 5-6 litres of fresh rain water to feed HHO generator to turn into hydrogen gas (chlorinated tap water doesn't work ) 🤠👍

Chris I'm looking for parts for my marine Perkins 540 TV 8 do you know who might be the best source for those? Thanks

Very quiet engine !!! Good build 😍👍👍👍👍

How much you think that engine weighs

Espectacular motor.Eñ más fiable.

Ford 3600 engine is Pekins engine ?

Buenos días d cuantos caballos es ese motor . Cuando llega a México carnales. Gracias

Just out of interest how much did you sell it for?

Amount Modified

Yes...I like a lot...I hoppyes and working all my live fordson and Ford tractor 👍

What kind of hp and tq do you get out of these engines..... I'm thinking about putting one of these in and old ford I have...

Sweet sound! Nice build.

Necesito uno para Colombia

Pure Beastage!! What a nice job on it though-it looks and sounds a million dollars

Very nice conversion and it looks professional, the best place for all those 510 Perkins V8s would have been in tractors because I got sick of doing head gaskets on Seddon tractor units and Dodge six wheeled tippers, they were good on the Leyland Mastiff 16tonner but anything above that they were shite and the V8 540 was no better and neither was the Cummins V8 also fitted to Ford and Dodge trucks.

Now that's just showing off Nah just kidding great job!

O

Is this Shows tractor

How can clutch support this. I imagine gear box is solid in older machines but the clutch must be under pressure.

How is the chassis attached towards the back end? It looks welded

I had a Day series custom 6 wheeler with that engine and an 18 speed fuller box,went like a Ferrari

Simply outstanding job. Envious, jealous and all the rest!

Oh Yes !!!!, Back Axle will Cope No Probs

kinda laughed when I saw it had the standard rear axles are they really up to it

what country make this engine?

where have you found the steeringpump that is mounted on the motor? i have the same tractor and i looking for a hydrolic pump

Thats a muscle tractor

where you get the bell housing adaptor?! cant find this anywhere. cheers

No its not for sale. I know the new owner and he takes it to road runs and shows in south wales.

what sort of bhp is this one putting out?

Hey, I once met a chap with a tractor like this 10 years ago at Scone called davie shaw do you know him?

HI IS IT STILL FOR SALE?

It will be interesting to see how the drive train holds up IF it is really worked, or is it going to be a garage queen?

A great looking Fordson with a superb sounding motor...........well done mate! How long did it take you to build it?

Would the back end withstand the power and torque if u had the engine at full throttle

she is now for sale call if you are interested 07717 861823

She is now for sale call if your are interested 07717 861823

This is engine was what was used in the Guy Big J4t, the Ford Custom. The Dodge 500, and the Leyland Mastiff. I like the sound of this engine.

Great job! Did you do the turbo conversion yourself?

Good videos! Very nice work! I haven't noticed many tractor V-8 diesels here in the States. Glad you posted.

Hi very nice tractors. Have you ever taken them to the festival of the plough

Very nice , thank you for sharing.
