Pretty sure the y110 to y155 used a perkins 4.248.

Look closely around both sides of the engine block, there will be a plate (may have been painted over at some point) or a number cast into the block.

Engine number will be in this format:- AA 12345 A 123456A

First 2 letters is family code/specific variant.
First 5 numbers is the parts build list.
Next letter is country of origin.
Final six numbers and last letter is serial number and year of build.

If you give me that number I'm sure I've got a chart somewhere to break down the number info or just type 'perkins engine numbers' in Google - the info isn't that hard to find.

The chart I have/had used to tell you the engine number locations as well.

Fact of the week
In May 2023, a Belgian Malinois named Wilson played a key role in the rescue of four children lost in the Amazon jungle. The young children were missing for 40 days after a plane crash that killed their mother and other adults. Wilson tracked the children's footprints, leading the military to their location.
