I have come across a few 14hp models and own one myself, only because it is such an oddity. They probably bumped it to a 14hp model because the gearcase and exhaust housing are from an 18/20 hp model with a 28hp gearcase (albeit, haven’t pulled it apart yet to look at the gearset).

Please post pictures of your motor. I have never seen (or even heard) of a 12hp model and the stock photo you have clearly shows an older fisheman (6hp)/10hp (pre 1964) exhaust housing. Quite the ‘yankee engineering) to marry the throttle/tiller shaft to the 9.9/15hp set up. And that stock photo shows the gearcase from a 10hp with the older 4 bolt (9.5/10hp) gearcase, also using the same housing as the 5.5/6hp motors.

I may have parts here to help you out if you can post some photos….
