    Sounds like u have one of these motors. That is great. Maybe u can answer another question for me. What type of material is used as a seal or bearing material on the brass seals. What it looks like to me is a tape with a slippery  friction free surface on one side and a adhesive side to stick to the die casted piece.  Do they still make something like that?

    I’m not sure what brass seals you’re talking about?
    My 1939 version does not appear to use any brass cased
    seal.
    On mine, there is some rubber tape-like seals on the prop shaft
    and drive shaft to help keep the water out.
    I think I replace it with Black Ultra Permatex sealant.
