PART THREE – The Four StrokesThe Hercules was powered by at least three different model
4-stroke engines. All USA derivatives, two by Australia’s
James Kirby; one by USA's Clinton.

Kirby GEM 4-stroke
-
Kirby LV 4-stroke
-
Clinton VS 3100 4-stroke
For me, the meaning is clear: 4-stroke engines dominated the
1960s lawnmower market. Every AUS lawnmower maker had
to have 4-strokes in their line-up.
The
Gallery here presents a selection of 4-stroke
Hercules mowers. Many thanks to
