Perkins mini diesel model 402c-05

[flywheel]

Here is my pretty little Perkins mini diesel from surplus center for $599 several months ago.  Indirect injection, Large oil pan, 500 hr oil change schedule after first oil change at 50 hrs, rated to last 6000 hrs at 3600 rpm and much longer at a reduced speed.  Its just sitting on the floor in the garage begging me to do something with it.  Flywheel

Blink - I don't think its big enough for that at 13.7 hp max unless its a very small grinder and pump.

I see by looking at the posted Cat pictures there are other differences also.  Perkins has a longer dipstick, different alternator, fan, air intake located on top of valve cover, engine mounted fuel filter assembly and probably more.  Same basic engine with exterior differences.
If someone wants to take closeups of the Cat engine I will do the same on the perkins.

Your Perkins also comes with a mechanical fuel pump.

There is some information on the Perkins 402c in the PM generator section as I'll be using the Perkins with the utterpower PMG.

Work will resume on this project this week.  The holdup has been at my local machine shop where all I have gotten is I will get to it next week.  After about four weeks of waiting I went there and picked up my items unfinished. 

I'm having the machine work done somewhere else and the finished parts are due to arrive here this week.  Pictures and descriptions will be posted as we resume work on the Perkins/PMG.
