The V180 to V300 models originally came with 3145's and the later versions came with the 3208's. They, along with the V120 to V150's all came with the same type of hood arrangement where they would lift up with the pulling up of the release handle and then pivot backwards over the counterweight and sit horizontally. Hard to explain how the hood worked but they all worked the same and the baby V's had the smaller hood assembly.
Seems to me the smaller V's mostly came with the Perkins 4.236 and some were available with a Ford inline gas 6 cylinder though they were rare.

The V120-150's came with Borg Warner powershift transmissions though some came with a manual trans and the V180-300's had the Funks. All of us at the shop became pretty proficient at pulling the Funks out......................

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
