Thank you.

I have taken the guard off the lead screw after a couple of crashes. The shaft to the pinion was bent so I used the hand feed to turn another shaft, cut the pinion off the bent shaft, drilled the centre of the pinion out and inserted the shaft. Put a bit of weld on the end and turned the end of the pinion to fit. It now works fine. Unfortunately something has happened to the drive on the lead screw and I have another repair to do.

Did you get the email Mr Hillbilly

Did you receive my email Mr Hillbilly ?

John E, I cant seem to be able to reply to your message. Feel free to email me at [email protected] about your perkins

Still available

I think the heat from cutting slightly annealed it , when i tried To do this my clip snapped immediately , I’m going to aneal the next one first

Millimeters, the measurement of engineers 👍🏼

My f100 is almost identical and shares the same issue. However your panhard bar and steering wheel is on the other side! Hopefully this helps thanks!

How can I order one of these?

I’ve always used Otterbox cases, my wife got me a fake Otterbox defender for Christmas from Amazon about 5 or 6 years ago to replace my genuine Otterbox defender on my Samsung S8. I knew straight away and she was refunded by the seller and asked not to leave a bad review. Anyway that fake Otterbox case lasted 5 years and the original not even 1 year.

Great video! How do you rate these motors compared to the patrol & cruiser 6 cylinder diesels of the 90’s. I haven’t seen these before. Are parts cheap & available through westrac/cat australia? If you were in the market now & looking for decent fuel economy & a drive through anything 4x4 what would you buy?

how many hp for 247 perkins are parts hard to get .do you need to install a overdrive

What can I do to increase power/performance of my Perkins 6

I enoyed your video but I must advise you that the pins you refer to as 'split pins' are actually 'roll pins' of which there several sub types. (I'm not trying to be a smart arse. My dad always told me "if you don't know something then learn about it and share your knowledge with others". I hope you take this in the manner it's intended.)

Qwantuz hp? ?

Hey mate, what kind of alternator are you running with this engine?

I have shipped heaps of these to the US and up to Canada. Recently I changed the whole clutch in my truck and I left the old clutch fork in with this repair kit still in the clutch fork to ‘keep field testing’ it. It has been going great for years now. They are $40 US delivered to the US. All you have to do is use my email address to pay in paypal and I’ll ship it out with tracking. Cheers Craig

Sent you an email. I would like to purchase one of these kits.

Sounds like brit billy engineering, very similar to hillbilly but leans more toward Chinese engineering.

Nice

Thanks, I didn't expect you to do such a thing.

Hi, I noticed the water pump on the bench. Did you manage to find a new one?, I've been looking for a new replacement but unable to find. I did get one that looks similar but the mounting holes are on a different PCD and one of the stud holes, bottom left side is offset, so didn't fit. I think the impeller also fails the block. Any idea where to get a new one or what fits?.

They’re all Made in China now. The superior quality is gone now. They don’t even register them any more. Back when they were Made in Mexico they were individually tagged with a personal serial number. Not anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fantastic Transformation!

I've just bought a 79 f100 with the perkins here in nz, all these videos you're making are bloody fantastic. Great info and how to's. Cheers.

Good job! These motors seem a little odd to me, they don't look anything like Perkins, and almost look more Japanese in design, even the harmonic balancer looks like early Toyota 2H, and the indirect injection seems strange for a Perkins of this era. I'm currently adapting a Perkins T6.354.4 into a 40 series Landcruiser.

What model engine is that?

I hope no-one intends to do any hard work with that knife. With that clip exactly where a sensitive part of the hand will be I can see blisters happening pretty rapidly when doing anything more than opening an Amazon package! Totally useless piece of kit in my opinion. Why spoil an otherwise nice folder? Nuts.

I’d buy one of these for $30 if you want to make one!

Just curious, how many amps is the alternator?, would you be thinking of upgrading?.

wow!

Awesome stuff!

Thanks for this informative video.

Will you do these for a price?

Very Cool Mod.. Not too crafty, most people can do it... Even me!

cool might try that !

Cheers!

Nice.

Great Video

Maybe clean the poor bastard before stripping, might stop more shit going where you don’t want it . Just saying.

Hey there, Did you end up making a proximity sensor (shut off switch) ? if so where did you wire it into ? Cheers

That mod is sick! 🤘

I’ve replaced the pinion and shaft that was bent and now I have to do it all again. Same issue, feed screw cover will not compress far enough when using the top slide. I’ll have a go at straightening it if bent. I think I’ll remove the feed screw cover in front of the apron and put a different guard on it, probably just an acrylic apron.

Hi, Good video. I have the same problem. (I left a piece of plywood on the bed after I changed the Chuck over) got distracted and crash!) I've had the lathe for 20 years. A CQ 6230 almost the same as yours. I had a look at it this morning got as far as removing the lead rod, and undoing the the worm gear, but couldn't drop the apron. But, I see that you need to remove the directional rod as well. I could not remove the end block that holds the three rods because of the dowels, so just pulled the lead screw through. So, your video answers the question. Thanks. Graham, Bundaberg.

good

You wont believe this, but I saw this video last night for the first time, I was just looking around for anything on the AL336 and thought this could be interesting, a view of the inside of the carriage, might come in handy one day for my lathe, I even shot you a question about the cross slide lock to which you replied (Thank you) THEN.... The next morning, Not more than 8 hours later, I crashed my Carriage (Really dumb mistake, long story) and broke the same roll pin and bent the same shaft... If it weren't for this video I don't know what I would have done, After multiple viewing of your approach to this problem, I attacked it slightly differently and found this repair to be a breeze, now I am confident of any future repair needed in this dept THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, Regards, Brendan Fraser Melbourne Australia

Question of a different subject, but same machine, Does the AL336 have a Cross slide lock ? (I found the carrige lock 8mm allen head) slightly annoying not being able to lock the cross slide - Love ya video, turn ya camera to landscape, Cheers from Melbourne

I would love to see this in action.

Wow that turned really nice. Looks factory. What a damn good idea if I had the right tools I would do this stuff.
