Any idea what model/year this Johnson is

[seahuntboater]

Greetings.

I will be picking this engine up in New Hampshire in a few months but in the meantime here are a few pics. The serial number looks pretty bad. Is there another place on the engine I can have someone look? Or does anybody have a good guess?

Thanks

Ralph

maybe a 1937 Johnson 4.2 HP Outboard Motor
the model number and serial number will tell the truth
if you can post it better
good luck

I will try to get another pic but fear that the model and S/N are pretty corroded. If they are how do I go about ID ? Is there something on magneto? or other engine parts that will help solve the puzzle?

Decal is 1937. Serial number should be on the block as well.

excellent thanks Wayne. Do you know if I can find any documentation for it in that Big Red book thing? Is the link working?

Here’s a 1938 for comparison ….

thanks guys. That is a nice looking motor

The serial number is legible. It is 257089 Can also read LT37. Is it possible to get a schematic of this? I have no spark and will be removing flywheel soon to look at things.

Thanks
