Watching this makes me sad. I live and work in canton. Im a certified CNG inspector and repair technician. Unfortunately, all i work on is cummins. I havent seen a single cng Hercules motor before. The old olant has been turned into luxury hipster apartments. I HAVE had the absolute pleasure of driving that arhens fox fire engine. Its an absolute beautiful piece of machinery and that Hercules inline 6 is as smooth as butter.
They have now converted the old factory in to a modern apartment building. The still left a bunch of the old factory pieces all around and have pictures of the old factory. It is amazing.

Its incredibly sad. I live and work in canton. Hercules is gone. Us steel is gone. Republic is down to one or two shifts. Same with timken. Diebold and hoover vacuums are gine as well.
A friend of mines husband used to work there. He's past away now but she still has a brand new Hercules 4cyl turbo diesel engine in her barn. Never been started.

Just sickening to think that they didn’t see what was coming sad to say as a bright proud future was seen for the company’s future now gone thanks to our great government of hippy yuppie socialistic liberalism ideas that destroyed our industrial powerhouse
@@bubblelvr1 I had no idea hippies had so much influence over an engine manufacturing company. Amazing! BTW, Yuppies are 100% Capitalists. MBAs did more to offshore manufacturing than any Gov agency or worker.
@@breakshitforthewin no, but also real garbage. No one *ever* made a good 4 cycle V8 diesel. And anyone designing an indirect injection diesel after 1960 is garbage.
I never knew that company stayed in business til' the 90's. They were great engines, had a very unique sound. Jacqui sure is cute (:

I live in it mow. Its a cool place 2 live
Truly, by the time this was made, 1990, this company was barely hanging on.
The series ii 3.7 would have every bit the equal to the 3.9 Consolidated diesel.
My dad worked there for a long time as well as my grandpa. My dad was let go in 1991.
My father and I work with a Hercules YXC from 1936. Never had a bottom end rebuild or rings redone. Installed in the last running Hayes Anderson bus.

Thank you. This was a great company sadly we lost this fine manufacturer
This video pisses me off because it reminds me how our country isn't anymore.

I live 20 miles from the old Hercules engine plant. Sad it's an empty building now. Used to be lots of industry in Canton Ohio. Not much left now.

Bet the rents free too……. We are in decline
Love to be a part of something like that. Or a college degreed baristo
I worked for a Hercules distributor in the early 90's. 4 cylinder engines were famous for breaking crankshaft's! Pure junk at the end!
Another once-great company gone.
Soviets steal Hercules JXD in favour of its own badly engineered trucks from 40th-50th and up to 90th 🤦♂🤦♂💁
They had a plan to have a drop in replacement for the garbage Chevy v8 diesels. Too bad they didn't have the financial support.
Only garbage if you don't know how to work on them....

@@randymagnum143the 6.7 powerstroke is a wonderful engine.
@@MrCarsandguitars I mean, if you're really a Ford fanboy, I guess.
@@randymagnum143
Cat 3508 is a pretty good 4 stroke diesel V8 🤔
