    What bearings???

    So I got a boat trailer just like this one for free at a job I did. It only had one tire and wheel but did have both hubs. There wasn't much left of the bearings and most of them where missing (maybe someone started to change them at one point?) Anyway, I don't know what bearing kit I'm...

    Another carb adjustment question.

    Hi everyone. Around this time last year I posted about a 1959 Johnson CD16 that I was restoring. Had a bunch of trouble getting the fuel pump conversion to work properly.

    Vintage mad river canoe resto

    I'm restoring a 1987 mad river malicite canoe. It's the canoe I spent my teen years in. I'm a semi-pro woodworker so that part isn't an issue. All the woodwork will be new white ash. The seats are already done and the gumwales are ready for installation. Before I install the new woodwork, I...

    I cracked the driveshaft bearing plate on my 5.5

    Hi everyone. I'm rebuilding a 1959 Johnson 5.5 (CD-16) and I'm making a video of the entire process. Nearly everything is completed and I only have the lower unit to rebuild. Problem is, tonight while I was trying to extract the upper driveshaft seal in the driveshaft plate, I cracked the...

    Connecting rod caps on my 1959 5.5 hp (cd-16)

    So I'm rebuilding a 1959 Johnson 5.5. I'm in the process of reassembly right now and I'm annoyed with the flat head-style rod caps because I can't put a torque wrench on them to set the proper torque (60-66 inch pounds). I have them snugged up real good with a large flat head screwdriver...
