One big radiator with the fins spaced way apart. to where I never had much trouble plugging it kept that Hercules going without heating,  I have no idea how this compares to a Cat 22 combine power unit.   17afarmer

I do not see the fan drive shaft over the eng. Do you need this shaft. I have two. could you let me know how tall the radiator core is in your unit shown? I am curious as to any radiator differences that might exist using your Hercules vs. the CAT 22 engines here in my CAT "POWER UNITS".

I just looked in my "tractor" book case and found many manuals (like John Deere 36 combine) and various similar equip. implements etc. if you're interested. I could make a list and post it.

The fan on a Hercules harvester engine is driven off a grove in the flywheel no need for the shaft. The Harris Harvesters used the same engine. I know of a Harris 30 by 42 1/2 wood machine that had the Hercules taken off and a Cat D4 power unit put on with a 21 foot cut they said she was a real grain eating machine!

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
