Hi These engines were used in some Cockshutt tractors but were they used in other things also? Were they any good? Where would a good source of spares be for the engines.
Thanks for now.

the 478 was used in oliver 2150s. after venting the block on mine, i got a 478 military surplus "multifuel" engine which transplanted into the oliver with a bit of work. (block needed to be drilled for water pump, change manifolds, injection pump, charging system, fuel filters, etc.)

Have very little on Herc engines, but have a gas 479 listed in Herc section of 50 Motor Truck/Tractor manual (covers 36 thru 49): YXC3, an L-hd 6, 4 5/8 x 4 3/4, "10 qts oil in standard pan, but fill to 4/4 mark on special pans". There"s also a YXC, 4 3/8 bore (no YXC1) and a YXC2, 4 1/2 bore, all same stroke, wonder if other parts interchangeable? YXC3 shows in a Dart, an Oshkosh, and 5 Schachts;if your engine can send if you have no access to copy. Fan belt catalog shows YXC3 as early as 1932. Good luck.
