Very nice engine you have. It is amazing how simple but effective these can be. I have a small one also, will try to post later with a picture.

Economy engines are a separate line made by Hercules Co. in Evansville IN. They were made for and sold by Sears. I have a 1914 7Hp that drives a Grist Mill. It was my first engine bought in 1988. If yours has the serial number tag I can tell you when it was built. I'll find a picture of my engine and post it.

Here's my 1914 7 HP. I've ground a lot of corn while I've had it. Now it's waiting for the day I get tired of looking at it.

That's a really nice setup Wayne! I like those IH corn grinders. Thanks for sharing.
