Re: Brrrr! Winter!

I might be tempted to leave this nice warm winter weather in Florida and go up north and suffer the dredging cold with you guys a few years if I could find a few nice "old" motors like you find Chris 😎

quote PM T2:

Planning on finishing this one up, 1914 Lockwood-Ash that needs a repair on the crankshaft, new muffler can & end cap, and the gas tank needs straightening…

hope to refinish this one and get it painted all the right colour, early Evinrude rowboat motor with no skeg and smooth bullet nose lower unit

got some of these cast in silicon bronze as well as ductile iron, so expect to be machining up a couple of them. One is going to be fore a 1912 Evinrude crankcase, all I have is the crankcase and crankshaft at this point, crankshaft has to be welded up and remachined, some might think its pointless to do a lot of work on something that isn’t even all there, but ya never know when the rest of the motor might show up……

and there’s another motor that I’m working on, I have about 2 original parts to start with, everything else is going to be hacked out of various material in the basement, wish me luck…

Best,
