I agree with everyone else that the motor isn’t much, but I see what you do Roger. That little extension on the front of the tank for the rewind rope to exit or the AC plug? is very much the same as the 1941 3.5 hp WaterWitch models I have. Same little grove cut across the bore. Looks exactly the same. Who knows what kind of mixed & matched parts it is, but I’m sure we all agree nobody is going anywhere close to it for that price!
