GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
thanks - very useful - part numbers are sadly not the same - the handle casting 'looks' identical though .
I had a line on an RD-15 parts motor with tiller for less than a tiller assembly... looks like that not the solution to this project - thank you very much for your help F_R !
I've been at it since last June and have no intentions to stop - it depends on your perspective of hard enough or not I guess ? I'm only going to go at it hard enough to solve the problem - should be good right ?
do you happen to know what the change was exactly ? i'm looking at exploring the possibility of combining a couple different years of parts at this point - if one were to use both tiller handle section AND the section back into the cowl to deal with the change .
the RD15 casting LOOKS similar...
Hello - curious if anyone has a parts manual for an RD-15 - 1954 Johnson 25hp and can tell me the part number for the tiller assembly ? i'm curious to know if it's interchangeable with the later 1959 model RD-21 tiller assembly . there's mention that perhaps the throttle gear assemblies are not...
well- thats what i've been told as well and led to believe - and being the believing sort - have tried any number of assemblies off of motors till 1972 from smaller & other machines and contrary to popular opinion they are not entirely alike .
PN# 0305409 was superseded by # 0318216 - the...
good idea on the external box - i'll need something for a voltage reg , i really hope to be able to get a start/stop and choke integrated on the the lower cowl housing. So far no luck finding a tiller arm to fit that year/model - P/N's seem to be 1959 35hp and 1960 40hp that used that assembly...
thanks for the pic - your 58' sure looks great doesn't it ?
yes - the tiller swap is the easy part - I think that's all fine and straight forward.
Because I'm not using the remote controls - I'm looking for methods of mounting the choke and ignition switch - the silver box may be the way...
This is what i've got on hand - which is incorrect for this model - the choke is electric ' i've never seen 'the silver box' where did that typically mount ? i'm just curious of what an original factory tiller version looked like . Aside from the tiller - the gear driven option on so many...
i’m restoring a Super Sea Horse - Electric Start and am curious to know if a Tiller Handle option had been made available at the time ? if so, has anyone got photos of the controls arrangements ? choke and start/ignition setup ?
Alternately - if tiller setups were not available how have the been...
I hear you on that point ! our old Chris Craft has a pair of Ford 427's in it , "thirsty'' has a whole new definition . For the SeaHorse I'll plan to always bring along an extra can of 'get-home' gas just in case.
