Picked this up today locally. Used to be used at Brooklands museum for shifting things around. Will need some tlc and an overhaul of engine, mechanics and hydraulics. Nice little project

Why did the Museum simply not keep it, as an exhibit!

Found out today that it has been fitted with a Perkins D3.152
The engine was made on 22nd July 1986, so probably not the original engine.
Weirdly, I cannot for the life of me find the engine oil dipstick!

Anyone know about these engines?

Hi Ken

Ive seen that picture, and still can’t a dipstick. Sump pan has the shaped part on the side, but no hole in the top and no dipstick!

Cheers

D3-152 was fitted to Massey 135s,  thats a 3 pot,  I own one but think its a four pot.    Dipstick of mine is halfway along the LH side of the engine,  pretty low down, sits just in front of the oil filter housing,  see pic here.  https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=mf&th=64257

That’s where you would expect it to be isn’t it! I’ll have to have another look when I’m in the yard.
