I'm looking for a ~50 hp, 5000# tractor and looked at a MF 263 today. The tractor ran good, but I couldn't load it up to see about max power. Without specific diagnostic tools, is there a way to tell if the turbo is working normally on a Perkins engine? Also, can anyone tell me what size engine is in the 263? No tag on the engine, only numbers I could see was "C3" cast in the block lower left side just above the "Perkins" name. TractorData.Com says 165 c.i., but the seller said he thought it was bigger. The newer 563 has a turbo 201ci.
