Title: CAT/Perkins parts source needed.
Post by: Dave Shepard on April 26, 2022, 08:58:36 AM
Looking for a water pump for my 51 HP CAT. Wood-Mizer does not support this engine any longer. Does anyone here have a good source for parts? I'm told Perkins will be cheaper than CAT. Thanks.

Dave:
A lot of Massey-Ferguson tractors had Perkins engines.
I think the MF165 had a 51 HP engine.
If you have the engine, even better the water pump, specifications I'd give them a try.

Thanks. I just ordered from a Google result. Should have it tomorrow. When I said Wood-Mizer doesn't suport the engine, the reverse is actually the case. CAT has stopped supporting Wood-Mizer.

I had good success with the guys at Perkins Power in Jacksonville, Fl.. They are the distributor and there are local service centers scattered around as well. They may or may not be able to help wit your issue. I'm not familiar with your engine.
