Does anyone know if the Hercules four cylinder engine thats in my OC-4 was ever offered in any of the tractors?

The General used the same basic engine, except a little smaller bore. Either 3" for IXA or 3.125 for IXK. The OC-4 used and IXB with 3.25" bore.
The IXB in the OC-4 is an IXB-3, which means three gears in the font of the engine. There is also an IXB-5 that several manufacturers, such as Leader, used. They are not interchangeable as far as I know.

Man, it sure would be easier if I had another engine I could be rebuilding while the original was still in the unit. It would make the time of having the dozer apart a lot shorter.

There are a lot of them around. Keep watching the classifieds on this site.
a fairly common tractor with the same engine would be an BF Avery model A which is similar to a Cletrac general.
So the one in the BF Avery is the same exact engine?
Yeah Blake, i'm going to be on the lookout for an engine. I might call Zimmerman and see what hes has. I'm scared of what it will cost though. LOL.

they engine is the same in a BF Avery model A except for the acc. ( dist. instead of mag . and a different generator. you would probably be better off just rebuilding yours. the rebuild parts are not that hard to get.
