Hi Cletract Guys and Gals:

Anyone have a recommendation on a good optional engine for the little herc. I think that a Small Continental Flathead 4 cyl. would work nicely. Also, will the bellhousing from a continental mate without modification to the HG torque tube?  Hope all is well with everyone, my thoughts are turning to getting back on the land and I will need a small crawler for farm chores.  Thanks For your replies. Orangeman.

Well we have an HG with an Oliver 77 six cylinder Waukesha engine. They cut the gas tank in half to get the engine to fit. It has not run in years and it's on my long term list for restoring.

I beleive I recall a previous post discusing use of a small diesel engine. I looked but did not find it however. If I ever need to replace my engine that is an option I know I will consider. Dose anybody else remember this post or am I imagening it? Good to be back thanks for the help Blake

Hi fellas, I'm in the process of repowering my 0c46 with a 196 International scout engine. If anyone is interested, will have done by June.  Tim

Grab a tape measure and prowl around your local self-service junkyard. find a short engine and trans and kill two stones with one bird (reduction gear). Pinto, Post Office Jeep, Volvo, old Toyota Corona, mini truck- who knows what you'll find.
I found 90% of the parts for my T-Bucket roadster by crawling around and under cars at the local Pick-A-Part, not really knowing what I was looking for.

Fellas, the scout engine was a bust. Got the front done for the hydraulics, but could not get the drive made up to the trannie. Gave up, will probably just rebuild the little 3 cyl diesel. Regards Tim

the pinto is used in a lot of ind. apps. like tennet sweepers and things like that, fork lift motors might be a good thing to look at.  Ron
