Contact Trans Atlantic Diesels

Trans Atlantic Diesel is a great source for Perkins stuff. New and Used. Nice folks if you are looking for commercial help. You sure you need that much HP?

It was in sad shape when I got it. It ate the filter and suffered catastrophic damage but still ran...., sorta. I had to use it one last time to get out of a nasty rip when the wind died and it locked up tight.

Here is another option:

Buy or Sell your Diesel Engines on Diesel Engine Trader.

Good luck again
