Default Perkins

When I was working we had sidewalk ploughs with Perkins and Caterpillar diesels. The engines were the same except for some sensors and programming. In 2015 when I was still working Caterpillar wouldn’t sell parts for the Perkins and vice-versa. The dealers were unable to look up the engine model and serial numbers unless they were the licensed dealer for the make. We had the same trouble with Mercedes industrial engines. The on-road dealer couldn’t even read the diagnostic engine codes.
