too little info here im afraid.Is it possible to put a bigger engine into a 90hp tractor??
One day in the distant future (if funds and time allow) ive always thought about marrying an ag spec 6.354 into a MF 185/8 chassis, suppose it may be something to do in retirement :D im only 27, so ive got plenty of time to save up
They would both be 248 engines anyway but I guess the 390 engine would have more poke390 engine in a 188 makes some job of it had one on the bog this yr great power but the steering was very dodgy lol
i just happen to no where there's perkins 6,354 engines that could be bought for €250
the only problem with that is the cheapest 188 on donedeal is €7500:whistling:
I know a few hedge mechanics that put a lorry engine in a Bulldozer . It went fast but would not push your granny down the stairs .
See the 2680 on donedeal? 160hp phaser engine out of Dennis truck that loaded sandwiches into planes in Dublin airport.
bit of head scratching but 2days and it was back drawing silage!!
Its possible!!!

Why would anyone invest anything in a 188 they had crap steering and gearbox were noisy and cold in winter and warm in summer .
deefo had more poke in it than the 399 we had there alsoThey would both be 248 engines anyway but I guess the 390 engine would have more poke

I put 7000 hours on a 135 and I will never get that time back . We did her up before we sold her .deefo had more poke in it than the 399 we had there also
before the uncle died he got the engine put into it as the engine was shagged. its just kept on the farm now for small odd jobs and cleaning a few sheds that the industrial loader cant fit in.
theres a few old masseys here 168 188 and a 35 all original one owner machines. 168 had a fully reconditioned engine in it to a few yrs ago and spends its days usually on a diet feeder. if the farm ever gets sorted id like to restore the 35 and 188 back to original condition.
Seen that alright, looked very well and must have went well too!!!
Just like that prototype that was made. Duncan cab would be great too:D
Duncan cab or a MF Flexi cab - no contest IMV
Duncan all the way.
Yet again John and I disagree :D
Is it that the newer version has the newer emissions stuff and has deadened it a bit? That and the drive train might make it seem mute?As a matter of interest does or did anybody else run an older and newer generation Perkins side by side and how did the compare?
Have a 236T in the Landini and 1004 in the Case. Both are meant to be the same power but they certainly dont feel that way, both same hours.
Landini is an animal to pull even with 0.5t more weight and a clutch on its last legs and the Case has new rear tyres and very mute in comparison.
Just wondering is it the engine or more the drive train.
