perkins deisels are good they dont rev verry high but they got alot of torque and if you know what your doing you can get alot of power out of them. i got a perkins its arund 55 horse power on my massyferguson 240 i think it is. me and my freind already got it pumpin out more horsies then it normaly would with simple crap, strait stacks we turned the injection pump up more so now when you give it throtal it starts pourin black smoke!

 

[ApocGoD]

Lol, if its pourin black smoke you need more air going in. Put a bigger air filter on that sucker.

 

[ApocGoD]

Itll be turning 2 hydraulic motors and an alternator on a mud buggy. Good for that?

 

[freakboy]

dude black smoke on a deisel is a good thing ahahaha. and its good enough as is lol.

 

[ApocGoD]

I thought it meant you needed more air?

 

[freakboy]

It really doesnt matter on a diesel with more fuel your lookin at more power. since deisel doesnt really need the exact mixture to combust unlike a gass it doesnt really matter.

 

[ApocGoD]

Roger that.

 

[freakboy]

Yup my freinds all know good bits of diesel know how and what not. if you get this and have any questions feel free to ask me ill see what i could do about answering questions

ill give you a little quiz here. what is the sparkplug size that all diesels use nomatter what size the engine is!

 

[ApocGoD]

They dont have spark plugs, they have glow plugs. Hehe. Those turn off after it gets warmed up.

 

[freakboy]

Good boy!!!!!! lol most of the time you dont need em at all. my freind has a 6v 53 detroit 2 stroke its got no wireing what so ever the only wireing is the starter motor lol it dont have glow plugs or anything and its mechanical injection.

that perkins motor should last about forever it's heavy but puts out enough power
black smoke means not enough air
on a IH 706 you always have to use the glow plugs if it's 90* you still have to use the glow plugs even if you shut it off then 5 minutes later try to start it great yard tracter and gotta love the fast hitch the one in the picture has new paint obviosly not mine

No glow plugs? How does it start? you need some sort of heat to start it up i thought. Also, your right, diesel doesnt use the same ratio for fuel and air as gas does, but its specific ratio still has to be correct.

That is a beautiful tractor...

 

[ApocGoD]

Any ideas where I can get parts like the air cleaner or radiator or a stack muffler for this thing?

No, the air is always on full flow in a diesel, RPM is completely dependent on how much fuel is injected. There are many diesels that start with no glow plugs, and a few don't even have them.

Compression generates a generous amount of heat. It just may take more cranking time.

 

[freakboy]

yeah my freinds 7.3 international in his 250 never needs the glow plugs cause its got a 21:1 compression ratio. and the detroits fire up quck for not havin glow plugs.

 

[freakboy]

and motor head your tractor probaly dont have enough compression to start without glow plugs. and that is a nice tractor you posted there lol whats urs look like?
