1950 hobart bros gen hercules IAX5 engine

[maplehillfrm]

so here goes, I have had this old generator for some time now, has worked and started like a charm, I now have a really bad oil leak from the front of the engine, almost so bad as I put it in and it leaks out almost as fast.

I havent started taking it apart yet as I have a accy tank and box mounted in front, its on a trailer.

are parts still available, I couldnt find anything online..

its a hercules motor co.
model IAX5---- size3x4---- #2449095

Hobart bros ---5kw generator ---1950

any help on parts or problems fixing this would be appreciated, thanks pat

I had a G-235, wonder what the differences are(mine was a welder/genny).
