one of the members on another site has a neighbour with this oldie for sale,,,,, i've put my hand up asking what his bottom dollar is,,,,

funnily enough i also did a google,,,, found one on ebay with a chip outta the leg,,, BUT found a whole lot of info on the manufacturers site

they still make parts for em,,,,,, i'll be

an article shows how one bloke had one that he found ""in the water"" for an untold amount of time,,,, after a rebuild,,, clean out,,,,,,,,,new magneto and sparkie,,,, a couple of pulls on the rope and it started ,,,,,,,,,,,,

i just love the prop,,,,,, thats gotta push water;D ;D ;D

Bugger, I was looking for a cheap lawnmower ;D

My dad bought a later model with a rectangular tank 40 odd years ago. My mate at the time had one that had a clutch as well. His had a bigger prop and more blades and although rated at 4hp still did better than the later model one. They were almost bullet proof. Except when water splashed into the air intake at the carby........... then they just cut out. But heck rather have a new 4hp with fwd/rev and larger fuel tank. Some things belong in the past and this is one of them. Think they havent changed since world war 2.

Believe it or not I have one of those Chop.
1963 model 4hp.
Here's a site to date it

I got mine for a cartoon of beer...$150 would be tops I reckon.

hey scotty,,,,,, how about if i buy this one,,,,, and get your one,,,, you can make a bracket and we'll bolt it to """"junior"""";D ;D ;D



thats what i've got planned for my tinny......twin 15's though,,, its a matter of having the two fitted and getting the brackets/controls sorted out that's the headache

With that prop it would make an excellent petrol powered fan for camping ;D

If you lose a anchor you just chuck over the old seagull and when you finish fishing pull it up and start it and drive home..nothint kills em.:D

The council will probably charge you 10 to dump it!
