This Year’s Featured Engine
Delve into the fascinating history of
The Hercules Family of Engines
Come to our 2024 show and discover the rich heritage of the Hercules family of engines. After the purchase of Sparta Works in 1913, they built a factory in Evansville, Indiana and became a company that has been at the forefront of industrial engine manufacturing since 1915. Changing the name to Hercules Motor Manufacturing Company, they quickly gained recognition for their exceptional engines designed specifically for trucks.
In 1923, the company underwent a reorganization and emerged as Hercules Motors Corporation, expanding their expertise in gas and diesel engines. The large catalog company Sears Roebuck was their largest customer, selling their private label Economy engines, often with the associated equipment the engine drove.
Throughout the interwar period, they successfully catered to the needs of truck, tractor, and various equipment operators. Additionally, the company played a crucial role during World War II, producing an impressive 750,000 gasoline and diesel engines for Allied military vehicles, ships, and equipment.
Names of engines manufactured by Hercules: Hercules, Jaeger, Arco, Economy,
Saxon, Thermoil, and perhaps others. They were manufactured from 1913-1934.
Frederick P. (Woody) Woodward
We lost a good friend on June 25, 2024. One of the original founders of the Dublin Gas Engine meet, Woody Woodward, 92 of Dublin, NH. Woody often showcased his 1936 John Deere model B tractor and antique engines.
He was on the Dublin planning board, a member of the fire department from 1948 until 2009 and participated in the very first responder class in the state. He was on the rescue squad for many years. He was also a Forest Fire Warden for many years for the town. He began working as a lineman for the Bell Telephone Company at age 26 and stayed with them for the next 36 years, the last 6 as a contract work inspector. He started his own business, “Woody’s Windows” which he ran for 18 years.
In his retirement he enjoyed spending time with his wife Betty, taking care of his home and lawns, and spending time in his workshop, he always found something to do. He bought a mini backhoe for his 85th birthday and used it for projects around his home and for friends.
