Two great engines and a super rare pump! I have had only 2 full size engines, one was a hercules which is a great runner. Now, if you could just get them in the back of an SUV!

I made friends at the Evansville Indiana engine show with a gentleman that had two engines for sale that I liked. I finally got around to uploading a video of each engine. The 1.75hp Hercules is a beauty with a pump that is much rarer than the engine. This unit was built in Evansville and is an easy starting  great runner. But I honestly think my favorite is the 1.5hp McCormick Deering IHC "throttler". These engines are common but well liked and popular and I am proud of both of them!
