4 cylinder Hercules diesel motor
Hi everyone, Just picked up a 4 cylinder Hercules diesel motor. Never seen one before, other than the 3 cylinder gamma goat diesel. This one is dated 1963. What would it have been in? Just found out that it is a DD 198 Hercules.

My research shows it went to some kind of generator. I was thinking of selling it as one piece or would it be better to part it out?

Re: 4 cylinder Hercules diesel motor
Been thinking about this one.
In all my years of working on farm and industrial engines, don't think I have ever run across a 4 cyl. Hercules diesel engine.
Have had my hands on several 6 cyl. versions in Oliver and White farm tractors.
I would keep it together. Sell it piece at a time and you will have left over parts and no complete engine.

Re: 4 cylinder Hercules diesel motor
Back in the eighties there was a gentleman Paul Caudell from Indiana selling M-37 Conversions powered by new 4 Cyl Hercules Diesels. It included high speed axle ratio and may have had Michelin Radials.
One of those conversions was used by a gentleman who hauled boats from down south to Nova Scotia.
It was a good mix of M-37 and Diesel and there were plenty of fresh surplus M-37's and mechanical parts to make the conversion worthwhile.

Thanks guy's, I think I will keep together for now. I haven't had a chance to see if it will even turn over. Probably not, but you never know until you try.
