A detailed description or a picturec would help.
Caille built A bargin line from 1917-1925 called Neptune.
There was also a Neptune from Muncie Gear Works comencing circa 1930
Most common was their 17lb 1.7 hp. I don't find your numbers associated with any of these though my info is very skimpy.
Oh sory the model number is (11b1) by muncie gear works. i have found some info but not much.1.5 hp,1941 and thats it. If anyone has any more info it would be appreciated. Thanks,Cade

EDIT: IIRC Doug Penn bought out all remaining Neptune parts stocks so give him a shout when you figure out what you need. He is a gentleman and a pleasure to do business with in my experience.
I need to know one more thing what to use in the lower unit. It says to use grease not oil ,and i dont know what kind grease to use. What grease to use?
Sorry, Bob's your uncle is Australian for...There you go! Trying to make a pun. Use Lubriplate 105 white engine assembly grease in that old Neptune's lower unit...check at auto parts stores. One tube will last you a long time.
