There were plenty of problems with 1953 but nothing compared to the 60's.<br /><br />Oh -- I bet you mean the motor..... The 7.5's were pretty darn good motors.<br /><br />Good luck!

It's sounds as though you were not born in 53 anyway thank you for the good news.

Nope not born in 53. Slightly before. But the motors were still good anyway.<br /><br />Good luck!

I would install a new waterpump impeller. Available at a dealer - with a catch. The deck height of the '53 impeller is shorter than the '54 onwards impeller a dealer will have. You'll have to sand it down on a belt sander to match the height of the old one you're replacing...<br />- Scott

Thanks Chinewalker, replacing the water pump is my next project.I already replaced the coils/elec and the carb is spotless. I am feeling better about the $50 purchase price.<br />Thanks again!

Hi MrMouse,<br /> One other thing - if the neutral clutch doesn't work, I may have a fix for that. Keep us posted...<br />- Scott
