Hi mate thanks for the comment. Brilliant yarn. Perkins are great engines. Cat indeed did use them. I think they were painted yellow with a cat sticker on the tappet cover, the ones I’ve dealt with anyway. I have a 4/236 here in a 165 Massey Fergusen, brilliant old engine, in fact all the Perkins I have are great, even the worn out one still does the job. When playing with this older stuff you nearly always have to think outside the square because a lot of it is hard to get now and you need to improvise. When you mention pulling the engine out of a boat, I had to do it once here. And like you say they are a tight fit and a cramped area to work in. I pulled a B series Cummins out of a twin engine boat my boss had and one side got cooked. The only thing that made the job good that it was on the water still and made a great atmosphere compared to the workshop or working on earthmovers in brick works and garbage tips like I’m used too and still do now. Good to talk mate

Hi mate thanks for comment and watching. I’m sure it didn’t let you down, they are certainly known for reliability. Would of been ideal for it.

Thank you Joseph

Fucking Jacob brakes and Harley Davidsons 🤣🤣🤣

Hi mate I read that wrong last night. I thought you called me a clown 🤣. I get a lot of negative comments and all I saw is that so I’m really sorry if I offended you. Just going through and replying to comments now. Take care mate

Hi mate. I haven’t gone that far back in your content yet to have a look at the ACCO. I’m try to do it with all the blokes like you that I follow closely. Your like me where a lot of stuff like that was before the channel started.

Hi David. I’m glad you found us and many thanks for the subscription and for watching. I know they were used in many international trucks here in Australia so being used there also makes sense being a UK engine. Would be good if you could get it going. I have no doubt that it will. Thanks again David and there’s plenty more to come

Thanks for watching. Yes it is good and certainly a fan of the White product here mate

Gday Stuart. They are a great old engine mate. Very steady but reliable. They powered a hell of a lot of trucks and equipment here. Widely used to repower stuff too.

Hi Billy thank you mate. I’m planning on taking the engine out for another truck. This one is a bit far gone to do anything with really.

Hi mate thank you for watching from over there. Fantastic. They are great engines

Hi Neil thank you mate for subscribing it’s much appreciated. There’s plenty more to come

Certainly is mate

Hi mate yes it was for me also. First time I’d seen it run

Thank you mate. Was good to get going that one

Thank you mate

No problem mate thank you

Great story mate indeed. Thanks for sharing. There are certainly things you can do to get the job done

My pleasure mate

Hi mate. The are a good looking truck. Not sure how they performed though, I haven’t heard a lot about them really until now. That would of been a good job to work it for a while. I didn’t know they were tandem also. Thanks for sharing

Thanks mate. Post plenty of videos

Thanks for watching mate

Fantastic stuff mate. Great comment. It was good fun doing that one with Geoffrey. She does a great job at editing and we appreciate the recognition for it. Thanks for watching from over there. It looks like such a beautiful place from what I’ve seen in pictures

Hopefully our busy lifestyle allows it one day mate. I’m certainly very interested

Fantastic mate thank you 🙏

Correct, they've got a pretty big place down at Shrewsbury about an hour down the road from me. I think it was part of the old Rolls Royce site.

Yes okay I’d never heard of this. Thank you🙏

Hi again mate. Thanks as always. I look forward to your positive comments on each video. Fantastic and you also have an awesome week

Hi Michael thanks for watching. I’m sure she will next time. Sounds like an inlet valve maybe stuck. I want to set all the valve clearances and put a new fuel filter on it and run it for longer mate. I have plans for it so hopefully it’s a good one

Thanks for watching mate. It’s not as good as aerostart though but it’s all I had

@@stevesplacedownunder Fact is it made me chuckle for ages, never heard of it before. It did trigger memories of boiling frustration trying to start wreckage. What i would have given for a tin that says it all!

It’s certainly good to have a tin handy when playing with this stuff

Gday Mick. Yes mate I try to show mainly older ones like this but they will eventually run out unless I start to visit other people with them. My collection is only so big. I really enjoy it yes is great fun to me. We had a great time and did some good videos together

It’s Geoffrey but that’s ok! And why my Mother wanted that spelling is another story.

@@oldamericaniron5767 Sorry I mis-spelled it Geoffrey! Cheers.

Thanks as always mate

Hi mate I didn’t know about the speed records. That’s really interesting. All the good Massey Fergusen tractors run them mate yes. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏

Hi mate yes they powered a lot of different things. Very basic and reliable indeed mate. I also have a few of them here

Thanks Steve. We did see a few but not as my critters as I was expecting mate

Gday mate thank you. There’s plenty to come yet

Yes mate probably not too many left now. Pitt town about 45-50 minutes drive from here

Hi mate thanks for reaching out. I never thought someone would say they used one. This is great. Next time I start it up I will give the levers a try. I’m going to screenshot your comment as an instruction manual. It wasn’t holding water so I couldn’t run it too long. Thanks a lot Garry, this is a great help

@@stevesplacedownunder Hey Steve, make sure it’s in neutral when u start using the levers,push the clutch in and pull the hook or jib lever and let the clutch out at the same time, make sure when u want to stop,push the clutch back in and let go of the lever at the same time otherwise the PTO will try and keep working against the brake.Rgds Garry.

Thanks again. I’m going to try it next time I have it going Garry. It may be a usable thing

Hi Rick and thanks for watching and subscribing mate. I hope to grow the channel further for people like yourself to enjoy so it’s really appreciated. Mojave desert area? That’s just brilliant mate. A new area for a subscriber, just amazing. It would of been a nice truck indeed in it’s day. It’s a shame it was neglected but I saved it where I could. Thanks again Rick

She would of been a reliable old truck mate. It sure would be good to get it back

​@Steve’s Place Down Under I know never let us down

Hi mate thanks for watching. I’m going to have a look and subscribe. Just be yourself mate, post consistent videos and reply to all comments. Don’t take offence to negative ones because they can turn you off your journey. Just ignore those. You will be fine. It’s our pleasure mate

Thanks for watching mate

🙏🙏🙏👍👍

Yes mate that’s right indeed

Hi mate no it was open but that was early morning. Actually right after that video we went and got a box of them

Yes mate and the C and D line inters had them

Sure is mate. Thanks for watching

Sure is

I doubt I will ever drive this one mate. Maybe one day. The tailshaft has been removed

A bit more than little I’d say Mike but yes it sure does need it. Probably take it out for the AR 160 I did the transmission in

Would of had a bit in the old filter

Hi Jim. They certainly are mate. They basically built Australia in powering old trucks and equipment mate. Very reliable and durable. They are about 1300lbs, roughly 600kg. Most that size, 6/354 (6 cylinder, 354cubic inches) are rated at 120hp. There were also differences in colours and outputs. There were yellow, pink and silver models. I’m a plant mechanic mate. I fix and rebuild earthmoving equipment. Mainly Caterpillar’s and Komatsu. I’ve been doing it for 23 years and been employed by the same company since I left school. Also a bit of truck driving and plant operating over the years but mainly on the tools. Recently just finished a full rebuild on a Cat D9T bulldozer. Yes most of our trailers have 3 axles, tri axle we call them but everything is getting bigger now for more pay load so to see a quad axle, 4 axles now is very common. A lot of our Dog trailers now have 5 axles. 2 on the dolly and 3 on the trailer, and when pulled with a single steer axle truck and 3 rear axles, bogey drive with a lazy axle, they are hauling 45 tons payload. I believe most trailers in the US are 2 axles yes mate

The purpose of starting it up really was to see if it was a good runner for a i truck we have here mate

Yea that’s right

No mate I only use ether to save running down a battery or burning a starter. No I ran the old filter but new fuel. Now that it runs I will change the filter and run it again

They do mate yes. They were a pommy thing, but now I’m told Cat owns them I’m not sure

As I said mate we just bid on it and not expected to win it but we did. I also love having the stuff around. It was getting cut up if not sold. Was worth it I guess mate

Thanks Ron

I’m not against Jake’s mate but used properly. There’s a lot of clowns that roar down the hill here empty and let them go. Straight through exhaust pipes and they shake the house. Most of them are empty also. I know my old Detroit’s are noisy but that’s how they are regardless of what muffler you have. The hill behind my house is an invitation it seems also for flash cars and bikes to rev the freckle out of them going up the hill and it drives me mad mate🤣. But nothing I can do about it.

@@stevesplacedownunder I get what you mean, the village I lived in as a kid near the lorry yard I worked was on a hill with 2 way lorry traffic, with Jake and Exhaust brakes going empty or loaded. Although they were on shitter drum brakes not the discs now. And I've experienced brake fade in 40t truck to make me appreciate the Jakes stopped power. If you want to stop the noisy wankers, try a Stinger or Stop Stick😜😆

No that’s right. All I had was that cloth

I apologise it was compulsory to watch Shawn king. Thanks for the view count☺️☺️☺️

Hello mate, thanks for the comment. I’ve got a few here yes and only trying to grow it more. Thanks for watching. Great that Aussie blokes are watching

@@stevesplacedownunder i have just recently bought a 6x6 f1 aaco, and have a 4x4 c1600. among other engines and things in my yard too.

Have you got a channel mate or have a followed my Facebook page to share some photos of your stuff?

@@stevesplacedownunder I haven't actually probably should.
