Helpful information regarding Perkins® 4.236 Diesel and Ford® 300 Industrial Pilot Bearing Holders
Both Perkins 4.236 diesel and Ford 300 gas engines were widely used industrial engines. Often, when a power take off clutch (PTO) is bolted to the back of these engines, the flywheel didn’t have central bore in the flywheel to accommodate a pilot bearing, so instead a pilot bearing holder was affixed to the flywheel to accommodate the pilot bearing and PTO. These holders look like a steel bracket that is bolted to the flywheel. Unfortunately, neither the Perkins 4.236 nor the Ford 300 (aka: CSG649) engines are still being manufactured and both Perkins and Ford have discontinued offering these pilot bearing holders. Over time these pilot bearing holders are becoming difficult to find. But Foley can help.
We are now manufacturing brand new pilot bearing holders for the Perkins 4,236 and Ford 300 industrial engines. These are similar in design to the OEM units but are US made and currently available. For reference purposes, the Ford 300 pilot bearing holder, which is now no longer available from Ford, has a Ford PN C5JZ 7599A can be found on our website when available. The Perkins pilot bearing holders for the 4.236 had a series of part numbers over the years, but the two most common pilot bearing holders we have available that fit a number of Perkins engine models are the “Early Style” and the “Late Model” Perkins replacement pilot bearing holders (review notes carefully and call with any questions).
