Hercules Raleigh Roadster

-
The one on my Churchill is a B 3 made by Hercules.
Hercules 3-Speed hub

Yes! An A Type 0 hub is definitely from 1950. They changed to the B Type in 1953 (hence B Type 3, etc.).
Need to repack the wheel bearings but that might involve opening up the hub. Not sure of the availability of parts or interchangeability between Sturmey Archer and Hercules? Been looking for a parts breakdown and maybe a service manual?
Did repack the front wheel bearings yesterday. The Sturmey Archer Dyno hub was a mess. Lots of rust! Had to work hard to get it apart then I soaked the whole thing in Vaporust for hours, flush it with clean water and soak it again. It is charging again! Will miracles never cease.
