Hi all, I've got a 4400, that originally was a backhoe/loader tractor. It caught on fire, and long story short sat with water in the motor and the engine is junk.
The tractor has 3 point rock shaft and pto, and I've been looking for an engine to replace it, and have a good farm tractor, as I already happen to have another 4400 with the same front loader and backhoe, so now I've got a spare backhoe for it! And loader if need be.
A friend of ours has a Perkins 142 3 cylinder diesel, and he seems to think it will swap in? Is that the case? I've heard rumor before that Ford and Perkins are similar motors, or Ford used to use Perkins motors, or something of that nature. But all in all I am not very familiar with them? Anyone have some insight?
Thanks! Bryce
