SCOTT ATWATER 1953 PARTS INTERCHANGEABILITY?

[Anonymous]

HELLO ALL, IM ANTHONY.
I HAVE A SCOTT ATWATER 1953 10HP BAIL A MATIC. (3853)
SOME PARTS ARE MARKED 3854, AS I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN MADE AT THE END OF 1953.

ON THE LOWER EXHAUST HOUSING, THAT MATES TO THE POWER HEAD, INSIDE THERE IS A CRACKED PIECE THAT IS RELATED
TO THE SHIFTING MECHANISM. IF FIXABLE, IT MAY ONLY BE SHORT TERM. AS IT SITS, IT IS A PAPER WEIGHT. ITS SO SMALL THAT IT DOESNT SEEM FIXABLE AS THE ROD THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE SHIFT HANDLE SLIDES INTO 2 GROOVES AND ONE IS CRACKED (CAST ALUMINUM)

TO SAVE WORDS, I AM LOOKING TO FIGURE OUT IF DIFFERENT YEARS AND DIFFERENT HP’S (IE: 1955 7.5 HP) WOULD HAVE THE SAME
LOWER EXHAUST HOUSING. THIS IS ALL I NEED.

I HAVE SCOURED THE INTERNET AND OF COURSE EBAY, TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE FOUND ABOUT HALF DOZEN OF THESE LOWER HOUSINGS, BUT ALL DIFFERENT HP’S AND YEARS.

I AM WILLING TO PAY SOME CHICKEN, AS THIS HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MACHINE TO JUST SIT. IM SURE YOU CAN ALL UNDERSTAND.

I LOOK FORWARD TO A REPLY, AND I HOPE I AM UNDERSTANDABLE. IF NOT, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND I CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

-ANTHONY.

Thank you for the replies!

My powerhead on the Scott reads 3835. My apologies for the mixup. Several other parts do read 3845.

The part I want/need is 3835-2420, the whole lower exhaust housing, Frank.

Frank, seems what you are saying is that I may interchange between 7.5 and 10hp?

If that is the case, I wonder up to which year may be interchangeable,

I just found ONE, on another site. The part no. is 3745-2420, which is the lower housing that i need, its from a 1954 7.5hp.

Could a 1954 7.5hp lower exhaust housing be the perfect fit for my 10hp, 3835?

Thank you!
