I have just acquired my 2nd P60, and would like to get working on them. The first is really rough, but the latest addition looks like it could be a running takeout. I have an operator's manual, but am looking for an illustrated parts manual like you get for Atomic 4's. Thanks. - David

For details on the basic engine you could get the IHC Cub Lo-Boy tractor manual but unless you are planning to take the engine down for a major rebuild it won't be much help. Palmer simply bolted on all the marine related parts and did nothing to change the basic engine block. Suggest you look in the topics colum for the P-60 AKA M-60 There is a wealth of info regarding the engine there. The Reverse gear is the Paragon OXKB and it was used on a number of marine engine of the size of the P-60 and Atomic four. Just remember the oil in the crankcase is not shared with the reverse gear.

Richard, Thanks for your tips and advice. I know you have a serial number log so I want to volunteer you the number of the better engine. It is 351779-R1, and the Operator's Manual was printed by Thermo Electron Engine Corp. so it may be one of the newer engines. Regard - David

David, Thanks for the number!!! It opens up a whole new can of worms!!! From the large number of Palmer ser. no. I now have I know they followed the practice from about 1908/9 to the end of production in 1971 the next engine out of final test got the next serial number. It made no difference as to what the next model engine was. Numbers such as 3510951 are 1951, That number happens to be for a single cylinder model BH. The M-60 AKA P-60 came on stream in 1955. That era engine was the tractor block with tractor flywheel and I doubt you have the tractor flywheel. It was soon replaced by a much heavier Palmer supplied flywheel about 3" across the rim with the tractor ring gear attached. I really don't have a clue as to what the significance of your number is. I don't doubt it is correct it just doesn't fit the Palmer ser. no. pattern. It seems to fit the Thermo Electron, Crusader number pattern but I don't have enough of their numbers to render a decision. For example the highest Palmer number I have is P-60 47554-9. In 1965 they switched to a single digit for the year therefor -9 means 1969. I do have a P-60 with 80088-7 for 1967 so you can see it is hard to give any realy positive answers. Thermo Electron took over in 1971 Their numbers I have are 7973173, 44796-74, 80133-74 and 80564-75.
I have one PW-27 engine ser. no. 44885-78 That engine was probably a Palmer made engine which was sold by Thermo Electron in 1978.

Wow! Never knew that!! Thanks for the tip Larry. I guess David read the number off the cylinder head not a engine serial number tag. Will be interesting to see what he has to say.

Richard & Larry, Thanks so much for the help, and please excuse my mistake. The Operator's Manual had this number entered on the cover as the serial number a long time ago from the looks of it, and when I cleaned off the engine and saw the same number stamped on top of the engine, I thought it confirmed things. Wrong. I am going to look further for the real serial number and use your examples to help find it. - David

I got an aftermarket one from an farmall parts place. The name escapes me I just did a search online and found several. You will have to drill and tap the hole for the bleeder line. Ours has been going strong for 2 years and seems to be a fine part.

Kevin, didn't he say exhaust manifold? Sounds like you are talking about a cylinder head.

The Palmer ( marine ) exhaust manifold is peculiar to the P-60 engine and is NOT common to the IH tractor engine or any other marine engine. Failed exhaust manifolds must be repaired or replaced with a serviceable one from a scrapped engine.
The crankshaft also is a P-60 peculiar part as the flywheel is on the opposite end of the engine from the tractor version. To rebuild a P-60, an acceptable existing crankshaft that is within tolerance must be used.
