- First good run of my 1918 Economy (made by Hercules, sold by Sears) model E 5hp engine. This engine was completely torn apart and whatever needed fixing was fixed. Then it was totally sandblasted and repainted. My camera doesn't have very good sound pickup, so you really can't hear how the exhaust really sounds. I had someone tell me later that it sounded similar to a mortar being launched! The rasping sound you hear really well is the bolt I used to hook the cart to the mower I pulled it around with bouncing up and down with the cart motion. Yes, I know it bounces too much on those rubber wheels, but they are only temporary until I can get a proper steel wheeled set of trucks made. I'm not quite strong enough to pick it up by hand to move it around.
