Its a testament to those old Johnson’s. You
would think it would have quit running long
before it got to that point. Its not that uncommon
to find gear cases in that condition in motors
that don’t have seals. What frustrates me even
more than opening up one and finding that is
one with a really nice set of gears. Except for
a few teeth at the bottom of the prop shaft gear,
that are mostly gone, from sitting in water for
decades, because they didn’t bother to drain the
gear case the last time they used it. How did
you like the spring cover on the drive shaft gear Dave?
