The reserve is not met on this... I am posting the link because it is an interesting engine... It's not an 800 BTW, it's an 801; the Ford 800 is gas, perhaps the seller is noting that it fits the more common Ford 800 tractor frame, but this engine was used in a lot of tractors.

I have checked around for parts availablity on these, usually in AG applications parts are available aftermarket when the manufacturer stops supporting them.

This looks like a nice little diesel, I wish I could find an excuse to pick it up... Or, please buy it before I invent a need.

I wish people on ebay would not use reserves, just put a "buy it now" price on the danged auction and be done with it.

I hate auctions.... It seems everything I am interesting in goes for a fair and reasonable price except the stuff I _really_ want, then there is the other guy who comes up out of nowhere and wants it just as bad or worse... I always back off when the price goes higher than I want to pay, and the other guy ends up paying more than it's worth. Maybe I am good for the economy.

It's late... I am not tired, just bored... .. .

I would be interested in this engine too, if it included the pump. Sad story about the guy dying from heat stroke while working on it... Shame that neglect siezed the engine. Parts are readily available for this Perkins, it was used in a lot of tractors and construction equipment.
