Perkins 4.108 connecting rod

If anybody has one laying around on the shelf let me know... I emailed 3 vendors, they never even replyed back. I'm in the process of rebuilding my motor, but one conrod is damaged and need to find a replacement.
Thanks

Re: Perkins 4.108 connecting rod

Was Foley one of the ones you tried? There's also someone on this forum who rebuilds Perkins... is it Bob&Connie?

Re: Perkins 4.108 connecting rod

Ive been getting my perkins stuff, like used rods and such a matter, at a couple of old engine shops down the bayou. I don't really have any spares, just enough to make up a couple of engines. Ya need a part number, or at least a forgeing number, as there are some different rods in different years !! My only sugesstion is beat the phone up calling small diesel shops and see if they have what ya need !! Thats what I have to do for hard parts like rods and cranks, pumps and covers ect!

Look up TAD, I think they are in VA, I got a connecting rod from them 2 years ago. They were easy to work with but you will need the number off your block.
