I will try to describe it. 4 cylinder gas. mag on right hand side distributor sets vertical not horizontal . has no fuel pump carburetor is on left side it is a tsx 464. starter is in center top of bell housing there is a stamp on block of right hand side AM3853-21. also has a screw on oil filter any help would be great. thank you |

i looked at the hercules pretty sure its not one of them. does it sound like it could be a d 17 engine looking at photos that is what it looks like it but cant get any real good pictures of it

If the starter opening is on thetop and the distributor is on the right up rite it is basically a WC-WD-WD-45,D-17 engine. They were all basically the same. there is a serial number on the rear of the block. Check it out. Also, if you could give us a picture it would help. Good Luck!

"mag on right hand side distributor sets vertical not horizontal" That is a 45 engine with a distributor, won't have a Mag. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

1953-1957 There should be an engine serial number on the left side behind the carb in a raised pad. Get that number and we could figure the year it was made. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
