Piccies please, there's a lot of love for 3 cylinder tractor engines around here. 
An old marra of mine went up for an interview to be a Diesel fitter. At Marks & Spencers....

Re: Perkins
Some time ago (20 years or so) a friend was sorting out his MF 35 (again) and, on his way to the MF dealers to buy more liners, he called at Partco for something for his car (a Volvo 245). He mentioned he was going for liners and the lad said that they sold them for £25.00 each (or so). he then went to the MF place, about a hundred yards away, and asked for three liners. The storeman came back with them and said they were £30-odd each. My friend lost his rag, called the firm a load of f***ing crooks and other similar names before he went back to Partco. The lad proudly pulled out three liners for him - of a different type!
My friend sent his wife to the MF agents and bought the correct ones!
BTW - I thought they were wet liners on Perkys - I must be getting old - or confusing them with early DB four-potters and Ferguson (Standard) engines!

Re: Perkins
If Wiki is right, I would suggest a mineral oil between 10-30 and 15/40. I use Claas oil in my tractors, I gather it's made by Millers and if Class put their name on it, it must be OK! However, the reason I buy it is because the local Claas agent is handy and reasonably cheap!

Nope, it's the one that holds the item of clothing up by the potential customer, estimates the customer's size and, if all goes well, states "Dese'll fit 'er!"TerryG wrote:Would that be someone that stacks jeans on shelves?JPB wrote:a Diesel fitter. At Marks & Spencers

Re: Perkins
Well what a pain in the ass, i've got one of them out two more to go.
I made a big puller fixture to get them out but ended up with a sledgehammer on the end and yes they are dry liners so they are tight right till the last 0.030"
I was thinking of splitting them down the length to let off some pressure so they come out easier.??? they are only about 2mm wall thickness.

Re: Perkins
Lovely wee thing! I'd certainly try to split the liners if they're too far gone to be rebored in situ. Keep us updated please, Diesels for the win. J
