thanks - very useful - part numbers are sadly not the same - the handle casting 'looks' identical though .
I had a line on an RD-15 parts motor with tiller for less than a tiller assembly... looks like that not the solution to this project - thank you very much for your help F_R !
I've been at it since last June and have no intentions to stop - it depends on your perspective of hard enough or not I guess ? I'm only going to go at it hard enough to solve the problem - should be good right ?
do you happen to know what the change was exactly ? i'm looking at exploring the possibility of combining a couple different years of parts at this point - if one were to use both tiller handle section AND the section back into the cowl to deal with the change .
the RD15 casting LOOKS similar...
Hello - curious if anyone has a parts manual for an RD-15 - 1954 Johnson 25hp and can tell me the part number for the tiller assembly ? i'm curious to know if it's interchangeable with the later 1959 model RD-21 tiller assembly . there's mention that perhaps the throttle gear assemblies are not...
well- thats what i've been told as well and led to believe - and being the believing sort - have tried any number of assemblies off of motors till 1972 from smaller & other machines and contrary to popular opinion they are not entirely alike .
PN# 0305409 was superseded by # 0318216 - the...
good idea on the external box - i'll need something for a voltage reg , i really hope to be able to get a start/stop and choke integrated on the the lower cowl housing. So far no luck finding a tiller arm to fit that year/model - P/N's seem to be 1959 35hp and 1960 40hp that used that assembly...
thanks for the pic - your 58' sure looks great doesn't it ?
yes - the tiller swap is the easy part - I think that's all fine and straight forward.
Because I'm not using the remote controls - I'm looking for methods of mounting the choke and ignition switch - the silver box may be the way...
This is what i've got on hand - which is incorrect for this model - the choke is electric ' i've never seen 'the silver box' where did that typically mount ? i'm just curious of what an original factory tiller version looked like . Aside from the tiller - the gear driven option on so many...
i’m restoring a Super Sea Horse - Electric Start and am curious to know if a Tiller Handle option had been made available at the time ? if so, has anyone got photos of the controls arrangements ? choke and start/ignition setup ?
Alternately - if tiller setups were not available how have the been...
I hear you on that point ! our old Chris Craft has a pair of Ford 427's in it , "thirsty'' has a whole new definition . For the SeaHorse I'll plan to always bring along an extra can of 'get-home' gas just in case.
