]Attention Johnson guys! Have a 4.2HP motor with a rear mounted fuel tank and top mounted recoil. Like a LT 37-38 with a
recoil. No serial number or model number on the motor. Have photos and trying to attach. What is it?

An LT with a recoil starter is a DT. Not sure about the rear fuel tank though. LT-38 has the tank in front right under the speed control lever.

Thanks Fisherman6. OK, the tank is in front under the speed control lever. This motor appears to be an LT37-38 with a recoil – and similar to an
AT10 only 4.2 hp instead of 5 hp. Still trying to figure the photo thing.

It is the same block as a DT38 and LT37 that I have owned previously.

my thinking……..
An "LT" model with a recoil starter is an "AT" but…..then it is a 5 hp for what reason ever.

Kees, Yes that is indeed a DT. It has a recoil starter and is shrouded. The AT does look more like the LT with only a recoil, but as you said, the AT is 5hp. I do not know it the AT uses the same block as the LT motors and just have some internal changes that bumped it to 5hp.
