Hercules multifuel engine needed

[jwlinden]

Looking for a hercules multifuel engine to replace one of our firetrucks engines. The o-ring for the oil filter cracked allowing all the oil to pour out causing a major knock in the rod bearings. The closer to Texas the better but will go where needed as wildfire season is quickly approaching and this truck being down is a very bad thing.

Up in PA i have one for $500 that was a good runner. But it is a bit far away.

That is the problem I am running into is the ones I am finding are pretty far away.

Boyce in Utah is a lot closer but the price may be higher, they have Many,many motors

Try this guy, he is outside of Austin. In Liberty Hill. 512-259-5393. His name is Lynn. If he doesn't have one I am sure he can get one.

Don't limit yourself to Hercules, a Continental or White will work the same.

Looks like the powers that be have decided to find either a rebuilt motor or a new one.

Have you looked on Govliquidation or GSA yet?

I have one in my deuce but I need to sell the whole thing, you could drive it home.

One of the prettiest things I ever saw, was those brand new, in the steel cannister, Multifuels offered by GL out of Huntsville last week.

They went for the price of a used M35A2 without winch, but sure were pretty.

Back on subject; The engine out of Pa. which is running good might cost $400-500 shipping. That would bring the total cost of a good running multifuel to $1000 or less.
It sounded pretty darn good to me. You can get free shipping quotes from Freightquote.com
He would have to drop it off at the local freight shipper and brace it somehow, and you would have to pick it up at one, in the nearest large town, but that should not be a huge problem for you. Not sure about him.

Any reason we're bumping up almost four year old want ads?

 

[3dAngus]

LOL, that's funny. I guess the newly enforced rules for deleting ads is a good one. Looks like this one slipped through the cracks. Good catch!

If nothing else I learned something that might come in handy.

can we lock this thread or delete it then? There isn't much info to be lost and probably nothing really to add
