[SEL] Hercules Power Plant Price

[Glenn Karch]

Luke,

The Asland Oil Company took a lot of those engines out of service in 
southern Indiana and southern Illinois.  They and the 2 cylinder version, 
the NXB, could be picked for a couple hundred dollars a piece.   I think 
Keith Kinney got a couple of them.  I have a couple of the NXBs.  They and 
the 4 cylinder are nice running engines.  Both of mine have the over the 
center clutch too.
