I just got a 1960 10 HP Johnson QD-21 at a local online auction for only $2. Gearcase and driveshaft are missing, but the rest looks to be in good shape and compression feels good when I pull it over. I have a 1963 QD-24 with a lot of parts missing up top, but the lower is all there. Gears and driveshaft are same part numbers, but gearcase housing has different numbers. Before I go to the trouble of digging out the QD-24 from winter storage and bringin’ it into my shop, does anyone know if the lower unit housing with water pump, driveshaft, etc. bolt up to the QD-21 and work? I don’t care if it looks strange.
