Perkins 4.236

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Perkins 4.236 is a diesel engine manufactured by Perkins Engines Company Limited. It is rated at 67 horse power ASE (65 hp DIN), and is widely used in Massey-Ferguson tractors, as well as other well-known industrial and agricultural machines, e.g. Clark, Manitou, JCB and Landini. The logical explanation for the designation 4.236 is as follows, "4" represents four cylinders, "236" represents 236 cubic inches, which is the total displacement of the engine. This logic can be used for most of Perkins engine designations. Bore is 98.4 and stroke is 127 mm, for an overall displacement of 3,860 cc (3.86 L; 236 cu in).[1]

Applications

The Massey-Ferguson tractors that were originally fitted with this engine are: 168S, 175, 175S, (174 - Romanian model). Later came the 265, 275, 365, 375, 384S.

Also the Dodge 50 Series received this engine,[2] from July 1979 until July 1987 as the 4.236 and also between July 1986 and July 1987 in turbocharged T38-specification. It was also fitted as an option for Renault 50 series vehicles. In Brazil, the locally developed Puma trucks received the Perkins 4.236 engine, with a maximum of 82 PS (60 kW) DIN.[1]
