Has anyone got a recommendation for good and reliable parts house for a Perkins M30 in the US. Needing an oil pan and gasket. I can find plenty of gaskets but no oil pan.

I would try trans Atlantic diesel and parts4engines. Chances are you’ll be waiting a while for one to come up. Also check here for people parting out old engines etc. Wheres the original?

Thanks for the quick response! I’m in Florida. I tried parts4engines but the seem to sell a limited inventory. I’ll call them on Monday. Good suggestion on trying for used parts.

If you watch their inventory they regularly have specific items no longer being manufactured come up then become unavailable (heads, timing covers blocks etc) as they become available from a tear down of a busted engine. They’re in the uk but use Dhl for shipping and ship to the states and elsewhere. Also don’t discount picking up and entire engine. Take what you need and part out the rest.

May be you'll be more successful with Volvo Penta:

Perkins M30 has also been sold by Volvo Penta under the model # MD2030.
Almost all the parts are identical.

Thanks! That’s wonderful information. That might explain why Volvo keeps popping up in google when I do a search for parts.

Re: Parts supplier for Perkins M30 103.10

The engine is made in Japan and sold to many manufacturers. Massey Ferguson, Cushman, Northern Lights, New Holland (bailing equipment) and others used it. Parts from a tractor dealer are usually much less than a marine engine company.

Re: Parts supplier for Perkins M30 103.10

Friends,
Perkins NA supports Perkins, a Global company for many years. They have dealers under distributors in every state. Parts should be available but supply may be slow through the distribution network. If you have difficulty try Perkins Factory / market and after market rep in USA and also go to Perkins UK in Peterborough. Parts made for Massey Furguson and other manufacturers for those application may be similar. Perkins made in some countries may not be available for export. Sometimes gray market products are available. Mountain Engines in Denver may be able to help. Perkins engines are found in virtually every harbor and airport in the world. Where the English have left a history of powerful and efficient engineering and language! India.
