My experience with perkins engines (mostly 1004-4’s in my case) is that they can take a lot of abuse, but are seriously let down by their pumps. Seals give way on the high pressure fuelpump and voila, oil level magicly rises in the sump. Bleeding them is a fun affair aswell.. i put a generic automotive 12v lift pump on my excavator and removed the mechanical lift pump alltogether as crappy membranes are also a source of oil sorcery. Then i found out my newly rebuilt lucas cav did not like beeing overpressurized on the feed side leading to yet again, oil sorcery. I found that the lucas has enough suction in it self to get diesel and in your case gravity will help too if above thing apply to your engine

The backhoe with "side shift" is made by JCB. JCB is very much of UK origin. I don't know if any other brands offer anything similar to the JCB in respect to being able to traverse the hoe laterally, but it was a JCB innovation. At least the hoe swing/pivot function uses traditional hydraulic cylinders instead of the infamous Massey hydraulic rotor motor. (refer to the Watch Wes Work You Tube channel for a couple of episodes on that). The oil circuit you put the hose on is the supply (suction) line going to the hydraulic pump. The only thing about using a nondescript generic hose is whether it is oil resistant or not. If it begins to swell, or get spongy or gummy, it wasn't oil resistant.
@super69542 жыл бұрын
The side shift is whats known as the European style, versus the North American known as the center mount . Pretty well all the backhoes sold by JCB Case, Cat, Ford NH ,volvo and what ever companies making the Massey now have a side shift machine for the U.K/ European market, the center mount is rare over there ,the market is totally opposite. I have a side shift JCB here in Canada and there are several more around this area to, There was a guy imported several Case S,S' as well but I don't see them around. They have advantages for working in tighter areas than a center mount. If you'd ever used one for some jobs you'd never go back to a center mount. I was born and raisedin the U.K with side shift and got lucky finding one here for sale. I didn't even want a center mount My friend here from the U.K has an older CM MF than this one, He hates it is all I can say that he's said is polite about it LO.L.

Congrats on the machine, what a deal. Couple tips... that hand pumped fuel lift pump will only pump fuel TO the injection pump, not up to the injectors. Those old Perkins are notoriously difficult bleed air out of after they're run out of fuel. What you do is crack the injector line at a couple injectors, especially #1, and crank it over until the fuel spurting out doesn't have air bubbles in it anymore, then tighten them back up. Saves using starting fluid which is very hard on diesel engines. About the hydraulics, if you would have pulled the loader control into the raise position while jacking on the bucket it should have allowed the cylinders to extend, then put the control back into neutral to "lock" it up. MF Industrial eventually became Fermec, which was then sold to Terex. The legacy of that machine is the modern Terex TLB. On a side note, I think that backhoe would look sharp painted in the MF red and gray colors.....

@@MitzvosGolem1 -issue is hydraulic capacity. Even a small 5 hp splitter has at least 5 gallons of capacity. Equipment cylinders eat up a lot of oil, gallons. The one I built was on a skid and used a 13hp honda motor and a 10gpm 2 stage pump. I could get 3500psi If I needed it(gpm would fall), and held 10 gallons. I had two 25ft hydraulic hoses with couplers on it. I carried lots of adapter fittings and it made it much easier to recover old equipment, especially large equipment.

Great episode. Keep us up with the updates on this awesome piece of heavy iron. I can't understand why these machines aren't in my country. Haven't found something rusty and abandoned in decades. Only pls working tractors with many problems and leaks, but for high euro's.

I concur with the other comments, you got us watching with old red and we need the rest of the story. Though I must admit your latest find is interesting 👍🏻👍🏻 And a word of encouragement, My experience with perkins is definitely positive. My brother n law has a 1974 MF 70 with the A4.318 / 318ci 4cyl . It been a part of his family for 40 years and the darn thing has never suffered a major breakdown. Various seals valves hoses & maintenance but the little perkins keeps plugging away. He did say he’s found a mix of sae & metric sizes on it thru the years.

I love bringing home broken things and fixing them. The last one I did was a 98 Tahoe that wouldn’t start. I quickly figured out why, but couldn’t fix it there. I trailered it home, went to GM and bought a freshly cut key from the VIN and an amazing thing happened… the truck started! We fixed a couple other issues and put it up for sale. I love doing things like this.
