Bob, you have some older motors listed.  I’m guessing mine is 1940ish.  Would you know of a good search lookup website?  None seem to work for me.  I typed in my model A-50 and the reply said I need more figures.  Struck out too using the serial of 147022, which appears on the rope sheave and the engine.  At least consistent which is not what I found when restoring an old Ford farm tractor.  Not sure if Johnson had serial number for each model or just kept using the next number regardless of model.

I did find more numbers if they help to ID a date:  Under the flywheel:  71C1243-2:  Two halves of the engine: 25D2 and 25E1:  Top of prop leg: 25B9.

Thank you for your time:   Did you rebuild those engines listed, have them all now, or just what you’ve had over the years?
