Hi Coooee, we removed the mechanical links , (the 441 has the little "T: bar control stick to drive it) and we moved the arm on the side of the pump with a big shifting spanner, but I will double check that the arm is correctly turning the shaft, thanks for that, I'll come back with the answer...

Hey Tazza, swapped motors and the good motor from the other side does the same, reverse is good, forward is no go. What gets me is how can a rotary piston pump (which i assume it is but not 100% sure) can work one way (reverse) fine and not the other way (forward) . Bloody thing.

Hi Tazza, will do, thanks for that, I will report back when i have tried that

I have been reading up and maybe its the swash plate in the pump for that motor, what do you think guys, I really need help on this. Please.

Hi guys, well after a bit I ended up rebuilding the perkins 4.108, put it back in and it ran great for 10 mins, the rhs chain drive motor for the wheels lost all forward workings, the funny thing is it would go backwards. What i have figured , the pump is a line of 3 pumps, the one closest the...

Hey, sorry I'm no help but I have a omc mustang 441 as well, mine has a Perkins 4.108 motor I havent ever seen another one until i seen your post. Maddy Sparks Sydney Australia

Hi Guys, the engine (Perkins 4.108) in my old Owatana mustang 411 has given up the ghost, dead as the doe doe. Im finding it hard to get parts, its about a 50hp (new) ,Does anyone know if another motor will go in? A car motor , boat motor, motorcycle engine, anything at all please. Its just a...

Hi Guys, Im chasing a 2nd hand Perkins 4.108 engine for my farm skidsteer, It is an Owatana mustang 411 skid steer please. It can be a short engine as mine has piston bore damage. I am on the central coast New south wales Australia. Many thanks. Maddy

Thanks Tazza, yea I went back to basics and got it close, when it squirts its no where near the timing mark on the pump, slowly getting it back together and we will see how it goes.

Hi , Im 99% sure the pump is a straight drive from one end to the other. Yesterday i set the gear timing marks for the cam/idler and crank and manually reset the pump gear so that "A" was showing in the pump window, basically reassembled and lots of smoke but no fire. So back to basics, I know...

Sorry for not precisely answering, I have the piston at 21 degrees before tdc on the compression stroke, If i were to turn a revolution it will exhaust and intake again. Maybe it had a mechanically governed pump now its got a hydraulic one, omg im so lost.

Hi, I did this :::: Remove the inspection plate on the fuel pump enabling the rotor to be seen. (Fig. N.16). 8. With No. 1 piston at the static timing point on its compression stroke, the scribed line on the rotor marked 'A' (for hydraulically governed engines) or 'c' (for mechanically governed...

Hi Guys I hope its ok i post this in the Mustang forum but im desperate :-0 My little skid steer loader is a Owatana Mustang 441 with a Perkins 4.108 motor. Pump model # PH25E500/6 I have the timing cover off and have lined up all of the gear dots and double dots, cam, crank , idler and fuel...

Hi Guys My little skid steer loader is a Owatana Mustang 441 with a Perkins 4.108 motor. Pump model # PH25E500/6 I have the timing cover off and have lined up all of the gear dots and double dots, cam, crank , idler and fuel pump. I have worked out lining them up gives me the required 21d Btdc...

And Thanks Tazza, When i found out the firing order was 1-4, 2-3 , I actually thought that, turn the pump till 1&4 squirt type thing, Good thinking outside the box ;-)
