Clive,
The engines are Perkind P6's (60hp).

Regards

I should imagine they are way more than 60 hp.  Is a P6 a 6 cylinder version of the P3 I have in my Fordson superdexta tractor? that  would make an interesting conversion!

the 6354's I have are probably mid 1970's they are HL (horizontal laying) this makes them fit better under the floor basically by means of a modified sump and oil pickup as well as different marinising gear.

Hi Clive,

When new, the P6(M) was rated 64HP/2000rpm and the P4(M) at 43HP/2000rpm.  Much smaller than the S6's (I'm told).

Cheers
Don

Clive, forget about the Perkin's Horizontal's, from what I have read in various publication's there seem's to be a shortage of bit's for them

Cheers,

 This either means that they are worth good money as spares or no one will want them as bits are hard to get!
