Re: Johnson 2R72M

In ’69 a Johnson rep came to my high school and took interviews. I started at the Waukegan plant in July as a flybore operator making parts for the big motors. Nine months later I was laid off. Never saw anything like this one though. I agree it looks like an owner modification as the yellow wire just seems strange being tie-strapped to the leg. I got it with no spark plug and two battery cables so I thought it was a troller. There is an old school electric motor shop in town I’ll check out next week.
