Hercules is a common motor, shouldn't have too much problem finding parts.

Problem with a rebuild kit is you won't know what you'll need until you get in there. Best to locate a source, tear it down, measure the wear, then order exactly what you need.

Kanterdotcom lists engine parts but no kits that I see for yours.
They even list pistons and mains which my old Sealed Power does not list.

Jerry Biro is your best bet> He is North America's largest dealer for obsolete Hercules parts> You will need to tear it down first. You need to determine if you have poured type or insert type bearings. Also which main is the thrust bearing. Post an e-mail and I will get you more pointers. Those other guys have not checked too hard at this!

Might want to post this on the Oliver board, too. Several Oliver crawlers used Herc engines, and that number sounds familiar.
