The engine is a Hercules WXLC-3. There are sources for parts but I have not as yet had to source engine parts. I have seen used manifolds on ebay in the past.

1944 Cletrac M2 project ongoing.

Jerry Biro may have some parts. Bob might remember from when we were there.

My gramps Howard van Driest was Experimental Engineer at Cletrac and Oliver Corporation. After the plant closed, he and my uncle started an excavating business, initially using Cletrac and Oliver Crawler tractors.

Embarrassingly, I haven't done anything on my restoration since the last entry on that webpage.   :(

However, I did just order engine parts from Jerry Biro ( http://www.herculesparts.com/ )--camshaft, connecting rods, and piston rings.  I've previously purchased an engine block, pistons, wrist pins, tappet assemblies, and other assorted parts.  The previous time I ordered, he did not have a carburetor or camshaft, but his inventory changes--as evidenced by the fact that he did have the camshaft this time around.  I've gotten good service out of them.  The only problem I have is that their working hours match mine, so it makes ordering a bit difficult...   ;)

As should be obvious, I'm basically Johnny Cashing an engine from them--one piece at a time.  Unfortunately, it is costing me more than a dime.  :)
