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..... ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

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 ------------- Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes.

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

Humm, now I know why that MF 275 was such a pain, thanks Ed.... |

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. ------------- 210 "too hot to farm" puller, part of the "insane pumpkin posse".
