Way back then there was only leaded gasoline. You are dating yourself if you can remember new Hercules engines. The gripe now are those people purchasing and adding snake oil when using unleaded gasoline in old equipment. If detergent oil gets whipped into a froth in a hydraulic system. How does detergent oil lubricate an engine if it froths? Same goes for not using detergent oil in an ancient engine that had only used non detergent oil. The engine/machine was parked decades ago because it was worn out and knocking. Don't be surprised if the engine fails now when started up. How can you blame the oil? Never seen non detergent oil recommended for a lawn mower. Must have been 40+ years ago. If non detergent oil was recommended for a mower. It was to avoid combustion chamber, valve, port and ring land deposits in a cheap sloppy built engine. The detergent oil's anti-wear metals and minerals make the oil "high ash". Applies to the bad old days when instructions said to mix 16 to 1 ratios of non detergent motor oil and gasoline for two strokes. A high ash oil will ruin a two stroke gasser or two stroke Detroit Diesel.
