Hardie sprayer Hercules engine

Hendrik · Apr 7, 2010

This Hardie sprayer is for sale locally. It has a wooden tank, a 3 cylinder Hardie pump powered by a 4 cylinder Hercules gas engine, model ZXB, size 2-5/8 x 3, serial number 1164xxx. The engine is loose but hasn't run for years. Are parts readily available? Is this a flat head engine? The interesting thing is that the engine has a water pump and the coolant is circulated through a length of pipe in the sprayer's tank, supposedly immersed in water.
Any and all information on sprayer or engine appreciated. Hendrik, from The Netherlands.
