I did check ebay and it looks like a lot of ads for starters claim ford perkins for the 1910.
I don't know what that is all about.
I do know that it is definitely a Japanese Shibura engine. Those things are hard starting when cold, you need to heat the glow plugs for a good 60 seconds and be patient, but, owning a Ford 1210 and 1910, and having been a Ford New Holland Tech in the late 1990's and having a father who sold Ford compact diesels from 1975 until 2008, I can tell you that I don't see a hint of Perkins in those motors.
I have set up from new and worked on the 10 and 20 series. from the 1110 to the 2110, and 1220 to 2120... I am not a complete Ford tech, because I was so young, and haven't touched a routine of wrenching for at least 10 years.
What I can say is that the components ARE very expensive now. If you have a 2110 and blow a rod through the block, it will cost you $10,000 for a new short block at least.
The best thing with those machines is that they can go 4000+ hours if you take good care of them and treat them good. The most I have seen on a ford shibura is 6500 hours. At that point, the rest of the machine is pretty tired and for a small $15,000 compact, you are better off to just buy a replacement.
It all comes down to cost analysis. I can find a low houred 2110 or 1910 for around $7500-9000 that was in good hands. Would I spend $3000 to repair one with 3000+ hours on the clock? heck no!
It's just a simple case of buyer beware.
take them all for what they are worth. I do it with every tractor. If I can get $10,000 of use from a $5000 machine, then I am making a profit. If I spend $20,000 and only can get $10,000 of work out of it, then I bought it for a loss.
The good tractors are the ones that make you money and don't owe you a thing when it is time to upgrade. If you can upgrade and keep the old and squeeze a few more jobs out of it, then you are doing ok. Resale value on a good used 1910 is around $5000 for one in working order. You see them listed for $9000 all the time. paying more than $6000 is crazy unless it was pampered home owner unit.
I use mine for field work to save fuel. I pull a 17 hole grain drill and all the very small tools. It saves me a lot of money.

Today's Featured Article - George's Fordson Major - by Anthony West (UK). This is a bit of a technical info to add on to the article about George's Major in the "A Towny Goes Plowing" article.
