Neat old stuff

[zzrodder]

Ever seen one of these? It's from an old welder, Hercules Power. No idea of how old it is but I thought it was kool so it came home with me. Rat rod worthy I think, about Model A size. Took out the rad and scrubbed it a bit to see the embossed logo.
"The Mighty Hercules!"

Hercules Engine Company went bankrupt in 1999, then a group of investors bought the inventory and reopened under the name Hercules Manufacturing. The Hercules engines were used in a lot of trucks in WWII as well as equipment like welders and generators.

I haven't seen a Hercules engine in years....
