 Topic: perkins 4.236 engine

I was looking at some of these on Ebay and it looks like there is a balanced and non-balanced version. What would be the difference, and which did AC use? Seems you would want them all to be balanced.....

I had one on a Hesston 6600 SP swather. I'm thinking it did not have the balancer in it, probably cost was the reason. Maybe with something like a swather it wouldn't matter as much as the engine runs at a constant speed. Never seemed to vibrate all that much.

AC used the balanced version in the one seventy and 175 diesel. Dad had a MF 180 with the unbalanced version when I was a kid. Still was a smooth running tough motor. Perkins did and still does make a fine motor

We had a 265 with the '236 motor in it. It was great on fuel and we never had any major problems. The MF 275 that was bought to replace it was a PIA when it came to winter starting, but it had the bigger '248 motor.

balanced version and the first motor I ever rebuilt.
As a curiosity, I think they were used in some hyster forklifts as well, not sure if they were balanced or not

the 236 is direct injected, the 248 is indirect, that would explain the harder starting. I would prefer a 236 over the 248 personally. Ed.

I have both engines in my 170 and 175's...can't tell them apart except the fuel pump is different.

fuel pumps look similar, both DPA's, but the injectors are totally different. 248 is an older design engine. 236 is similar to a 354 six cylinder.
