Just went to my very first auction and picked up the five & half Johnson I asked about a couple weeks ago. The motor turns over but to my thinking a little too easy. It looks like a casting that holds what I believe is the throttle cable has broken off and was replaced by something hand made. There is also a bumper on the inside of the hood that is broken off which I will have to easy-out and replace. I want this to be my first daily runner with a reverse so cosmetics and original parts is not a major factor.Other than that all the rubber and everything under the hood looks good. I will put it in the test barrel in the near future before do anything else with it. I also got the fuel tank which looks a little rough on the outside but is very clean on the inside. I have two manuals, one is a parts manual for 1956 Johnson CD, CD13, and CD13A. According to the original owner’s notes it is a CD13A. What is the difference between these three if there is even one? The other manual is the operating manual for Evenrude 5512 and 5513. Will this manual be good for a Johnson CD13A? I got this whole thing for $25.00 so I think I can put a little money into it.
Differences between the CD, CD13, CD13A would usually be identified by alternate parts and part numbers in the parts catalog. Suggest looking at the powerhead section for differences in the bearings and seals.
There were a few mid-year changes in the 1956 model year, identified by the “A”. The changes will be indicated in the parts book. Evinrude and Johnsons were identical except for different hoods and the parts to hold the hood.
I love the Martin knob on the “throttle” rod
