I recently rescued an Economy engine from one of the sheds on the homeplace. I'd like to restore it to original, but I can't figure out what model it is. The tag says Economy Gasoline Engine
"Improved Model" 6 H.P. Serial number 38823
The color is red. Great grampa's farm journal says
he bought the engine in 1923 for $100. Seems to me
that $100 in 1923 was a lot of money, so I assume it was new. From the preliminary info that I have gathered on the net, It seems the Economy models were built for Sears & Roebuck by Sparta and Hercules. The Sparta models being red and the Hercules models being green. If anyone has any info on this engine, particularily what the model might be, I would appreciate your response.

Does the book "The complete guide to stationary gas engines" by Mark Meincke have a informative section on Economy engines?

Thanks
Chuck
