The Perkins 4.236 is a diesel engine manufactured by Perkins Engines. It is rated at 67 PS (49 kW; 66 bhp) ASE (DIN), and is widely used in Massey-Ferguson tractors, as well as other well-known industrial and agricultural machines, e.g. Clark, Manitou, JCB, Landini and Vermeer. The logical explanation for the designation 4.236 is as follows, "4" represents four cylinders, "236" represents 236 cubic inches (3.9 L), which is the total displacement of the engine. This logic can be used for most of Perkins engine designations. Bore and stroke 98.4 mm × 127 mm (3.87 in × 5.00 in), for an overall displacement of 3.9 L; 235.7 cu in (3,863 cc).
