Thanks for your reply, it has confirmed my suspicions. This P6 in question has been brought back from Oz in 2012, it has had a hard time. Almost everything has needed bushing or replacing. So far it has had the front axle rebuilt with new king pins & bushes, the transmission has had all new oil seal...

Hello, we are rebuilding an Australian E27N P6 that has had a hard life, The little end bushes need re-doing they are the early brass type bushes. My question is should they be a floating bush or pressed in ? 4 of them are a slack fit in the con rod and 2 are a tight fit. I personally think they sho...

Hello, That "H" is on most if not all E27n's that I have seen, the best way to tell what gearbox ratio the tractor in question has is to look at the bellhousing where the engine meets the gearbox it will have stamped into it one of the following; 4:3 means low geared 7:5 "Special Ratio" 7:7 High Spe...

Hi all, just to confirm and also to show the difference, abouth the starter ring gears an L4 with it's 126 teeth against a P6 with it's 122 teeth .....

Thanks for the reply Frank, We have been busy all day, ... we have sorted the starter ring gear in the L4 and put the engine back in while we had the engine out we replaced the seal on the gearbox input shaft, took the gear box out checked the bearings and washed the gear box casing out, then reasse...

Hi everyone, Me and my dad are busy sorting out two e27n's with p6's and a L4 e27n to go alongside our petrol TVO model. We thought we would have a break from Stationary engines... so we are tring to recreate the tractor fleet my Late grandfather had back in the 50's which he used for his demolition...

Hi Barry, Thanks for the info, I bought this tractor and only got it home last Tuesday the previous owner told me about the starter problem ... Off the tractor the starter is working fine. but the flywheel ring gear is a bit ruff. I have a Nuffield with a P6 in and a spare ring gear form a P6 fordso...

Hi All, Can someone on here confirm for me ... I have just added a Perkins L4 E27N to my fleet, but the starter motor will not engage with the flywheel ring gear, On the end of the starter motor it has 10 teeth on the starter cog. When comparing it with one of my P6 starters, a P6 which has 11 teeth...

Hi there, Many thanks for the info and advice on the regulator, A friend of mine had a spare key switch from a super major to let me try, but they are a lot smaller than the hole pattern in a genuine P6 dash so, we are still on the look out for any suggestions to find the correct type to finish the ...

Hi all, New to the forum ... I am after some help I have recently become the proud owner of 2 P6 engined E27N's ones a runner and the other needs re-building. I am just on with sorting the dash boards out (due to the bad weather) I've got new heater and starter buttons and NOS ammeters, But now I co...
