Smallest CAT Engine I have ever seen.

I had to go get a new fuel filter for our John Deere yesterday and when I got out of the truck, I notice this engine in a O-radius mower and it looked like it was CAT yellow.

Sure enough, it was a 3 cylinder CAT diesel engine in a Bad Boy Lawn Mower.

I had never heard of them.

Too cool!!

I wonder if PHP has a chip for it?

I did not know that Perkins supplied motors to CAT. If you look at the fuel lines, you will see metal bridges between the injector lines. That is a CAT trait. I have seen that a lot on bigger equipment.

Does it come with a water filter? Looks like one.

Perkins has made engines for Cat for years. When I worked in manufacturing we used to call them Percats.

I am suprised to see the remote mounted fuel filter......guess they ran out of room on the block.

Looks like Perkins has a joint venture with the Chinese company Shibaura to make those engines.

That's a Cat from Perkins from Shibaura
I wonder if it has 3 coats of paint

They are pretty decent engines, New Holland used them in their skid steers for years. The engine in my RV genset (in the work trailer) has one too.

It's git'n Scary.

What IS Not Owned, Controlled, Connected or in some way.. Dependant on China anymore ?

 

[BamaSixGun]

So it's really not a genuine CAT engine?

Looks like a small version of a old Cat RD6/D6 motor. Looks like someone is after the kabota motor market.
