the old 354 perkins was the best ever. i was a perkins engine mechanic for 41 years-loved setting up the pumps for more hp. watching this brought lots of good memories nice video. i could used to get 220 hp out of the old 6.354t engine

Fantastically reliable engines. We had the 6354 engines older brother in our '43 Fordson tractor, the legendary P6. That engine just could not be killed! Massey Ferguson didn't buy out Perkins for no reason, they knew they were getting class leading engine makers.

As someone else said on another YT video, "Diesel engines never die, they just go into hibernaton." If that was a 34 year old gas engine, I doubt it would ever run without a complete overhaul.

I just pulled two of these engines from two MF Combines, and working on swapping one into my 73 dodge. I’ve been sitting on them for months after I pulled them, and I will be working on them this weekend to try to get both engines started. I was looking up videos for motivation of these engines running and came across this video! Super excited now to start working on them. So seriously, from the bottom of my heart and thanks to the massive coincidence that a random person from wherever in the states just so happened to post this video… thank you! This is great.

That's awesome good luck with your engines. I'm glad the video was able to motivate you!

I, as one, have been watching you figure out how to make that little Perkins engine go from "not run...to...running" what was especially funny for me, was the fact that you didn't know one thing about how to make that engine run....but now you do....that's one hell of a learning curve isn't it !!!! I'll be willing to bet that you are so excited and happy that you could almost bust. Michael said that, bye for now my friend.

It was very rewarding to hear it run for the first time, and I learned a lot about diesel engines too. Thanks for watching!

I've got just the job for that engine! I have a nicely sized Stamford generator that go very well with that Perkins, and made just down the road from Peterborough. Before deciding on what you want to do with the engine, bear in mind that it's an industrial power unit, and governed quite low 2200 to 2500rpm, so not ideal for automotive use, but would go well in a tractor 🚜 (or a combined harvester 🤦). This engine was built to provide high torque at a constant rpm, not for speed at varying rpm, however, if you had the notion to go for it, you could get away with swapping the injector pump to an hydraulically governed version, which would have been used for automotive applications, but it all comes down to how much you want to spend, and what the ultimate goal is for the engine. What is nice to see, is that you took the time, and made the effort to learn from this project, and now you understand how a sixty years old engine design works. You've also learnt why engines like this one will still be running in another sixty years, long after today's digitally afflicted and computer enslaved engines are dead and buried. Put it this way, this is just the kind of engine you would want on your generator in a post apocalyptic world.

Hi from Scotland, most of these 6/354 engines used 24v starter motors which spin the engine very fast, the 12v starter is a wee bit lazy. you can get a clutch and gearbox for it very easily because they were used in Dodge lorries and various busses back in the 70's and 80's. that combine engine will only rev to 2200rpm but you can open it up to 2600 easily enough. good video and your blessed with a very good mindset for these problems. end result= top man plus.

I love the Falcon, part of my growing up, my Dad had a '65 XP station wagon in the early 70's. Great to see the old diesel start, but your Falcon caught my eye more so. Being an Aussie, Falcon was a family car for a few generations.

I just got a Tug boat with one of these in it. I hope it will run like yours. Thanks for doing the video. It will help keep me motivated. That feeling when they finally start is pretty good feeling. I think that is the addicting part of tinkering. Godspeed

👍👍👍Nice job. That year of diesel engine just needs 1 wire to the block to switch off the fuel thus stopping the engine. That's why they gave a million miles plus if maintained. Today having to recycle a bit of sooty air back into the inlet side of the motor is why they don't last as long.

Ya I believe that. You would think it would be better to run an engine a little dirtier and get more life out of it then having to rebuild them more often. I think many environmentalists don't consider the manufacturing and remanufacturing into there equations.

Way cheaper than setting in some school room reading a book and writing a chapter on how it works. Best money spent is on a education hands on. I think since it must be a farm country, a farm pickup such as a "Highboy" ford pickup or if your a chevy guy then a C10 or the K10 (two wheel or four wheel drive) for another adventure. Bellhousings are sorta universal mount on most diesels using a same bolt pattern on many of the engines. I'm a retired diesel mechanic and hot rod builder. This engine is equal to the cummins engine a lot of folks do conversions of. Convinced me to subscribe cause you didn't quit!

Well done, having a go and seeing the work through to the end is the way to go. The engine runs nicely. I hope when you rebuilt the injection pump that you replaced the drive end seal. When it leaks; fuel can enter the sump and dilute the engine oil. It does this on MF 35 & 135 Tractors that have basically the same pump. Somewhere on the web it will tell you if this will be a potential problem for this engine. Anyway, you have reaped the benefit of satisfaction so good job. It would be a good follow up video to see the engine put to use. All the best.

Last winter I actually put a T6.354.4 perkins in my 85 Chevy c30 dually. Has 2 transmissions a 5 speed main trans and a 3 speed auxiliary. I have a shorts video on my channel of me running it though some of the gears. Lots of torque in these motors too. I'm a diesel mechanic and perkins are my favorite engines for a diesel they just run so dang smooth and quiet you can set a pop can on the valve cover and it will stay put and just like you witnessed straight pipe you can can a normal conversation with someone right next to it while it purrs along

Excellent video :) also you buy parts from Massey Ferguson dealers they sell parts like injectors , gaskets , fuel also oil filter for them and all need to rebuild kit ! Plus fuel injection pump plus fuel steal lines if not find a Desiel motor rebuild company services them ! Even time gears get from Massey Ferguson! Only if need crankshaft also camshaft get turn deal with Desiel motors of company resurface them on foul measurements ! Also for Fuel Injection pump plus injectors fuel run nice use Automatic transmission GM type of 2 or 3 and a Grey Bottle of STP Total Treatment fuel injection and carb cleaner in fuel tank monthly also keep clean and run smoothly too may smoke bit on engine but never seize up ever again! Also I know late Mechanic knew put that that type Massey Ferguson Combine motor in a Dodge D350 van , hook up a Truck Floor shifter transmission plus Hydraulic clutch with fly wheel, had 2 12 Volt Negative ground battery for it plus Glow Plug set up on engine and motor bored up 400 Cubic Inches size from 354 Cubic Inches on 6 inches not turbo too !
