Hi guys: Orangeman here - I am mulling over an OC-9 project - the engine exhaust has been left open to weather so am guessing it is seized.
I would like to acquire the machine and put another DD198 in it. In my travels looking over machinery I am thinking that I saw the Hercules 198 in some military generators and portable compressors -worthington or joy???
Can any of you guys list the specific names of equipment that the Herc 198 came in. I am thinking that pulling a good running engine from another application would be the best way to proceed.
All thoughts and comments appreciated.
Enjoy your summer! Orangeman
I have seen the 198 in military generators. Seems the 198 is one of the easier Hercules engines to find parts for. You might try Sam Winer Motors in Akron Ohio, they aren't cheap, but do have them. They have one listed on ebay:
