8 hp economy throttle govern stationary engine hercules
* VERY GOOD Overall Condition
* No cracks, welds or repairs
Only 6% of the total Economy Engine production were 7 and 8 HP engines so probably 2% or so were the larger 8 HP. And by comparison 11% were the 5 and 6 HP Economy's, and 68% were the 1 1/2-2 HP. So this is 8 HP is a fairly rare engine. And after two World Wars and who knows how many scrap drives we are thankful this antique powerhorse has survived the last 80+ years.
This would be a fun engine to show and work. Due to its huge size and throttle governed sound this will attract an even bigger crowd then a regular hit n miss engine and due to its stature, nice colors and uniqueness too.

OR for other U.S. Delivery we can put it covered and strapped down on a flatbed, pickup or other type trailer if you can unload it and then can go anywhere else in the U.S. with a $100 Minimum, and a Maximum of $300 if you can meet the delivery driver by a nearby Interstate drop off point. Figure if you are in AL, AR, LA, or Tennessee to deliver by the nearest Interstate figure $100. Any state next to those figure $175 like TX, GA, MO, KY, SC or NC. Any state bordering those figure $225 or maybe $175. And then $250-$300 to any state in the far northeast or far northwest U.S. like Washington, Oregon, ID, MT, Maine, NH, VT and again as long as you can meet driver by the Interstate there.
We can also figure up a Freight Line quote right to your door or nearby dock. Usually it will be $50 to $100 more than the rates above to those states. If you're not sure eMail me then.
