UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Has rust, but still worth a look. Thanks to TJ for spotting it.
“1960….ish Jeep Forward control pickup 4×4, manual transmission…very rusty….being sold for parts/or whole…no title! Still has a few good parts,the best being the Rare factory Perkins 4 cylinder diesel!!..Will consider trade for Kids dirtbike 80-100cc”
” factory perkins diesel ” ? i’ve never seen one – maybe an export model ? any FC experts out there ?
Mitch C. messaged him to get more pictures and info.
Shows as being sold now. Did Mitch get any info?
Never heard of one of these with the Perkins. Super rare if true
I’m very skeptical that it’s a factory Perkins. I’ve never seen or heard of one either. I do know some of the Mahindra FC’s used a copy of the Perkins engines and I’m not real familiar with those. This is definitely not the engine that the CJ’s used looking at the valve cover. I did text a bit with the seller and he said the engine was froze up from sitting. I came to the conclusion that about the only potentially useable part for ME, would be the bellhousing. And it doesn’t make sense to pay $1800 for a bellhousing.
