Hello all,
After spending a good 4 hours in a scrap yard extracting a Perkins L4 engine to replace the sadly water logged and rusted L4 in Larry (my E27N L4 conversion) I came across a perkins grille badge. The guys at the scrap yard threw the badge in for nothing with the engine along with some Kigas primer pump parts. Which leads me to my question, was there ever an official location for the grille badge on an E27N Perkins conversion? Thanks in advance.
Regards, Frank.
Is there any official place for the Perkins badge on an E27N

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the answer on the badge location and that is a great photo of a L4 conversion. Reminds me so much of my father out on the farm from when I was a young lad. Our tractor was a Petrol Kero and my father would have been looking backwards being the only differences. The looking backwards was not always wise though, we still had trees that always seemed to run out in front of the old Fordson.
I have a L4 as well as my P6 conversion. At the moment the L4 is definately a work in progress though as it is in bits spread over half the state of Victoria. Hopefully next years assembly job.
Regards, Frank.
