    I just checked out his website. Those are some cool restorations he did.

    I'll try that, if I can't find the part! I will. Thanks!

    Does anyone know of a replacement for the seal that seals the shroud? I can't find one. And ours is all dry and cracked up.

    I soldered the tube together, that went quite well and it seems sturdy enough.

    Thanks! The motor is in really sweet condition, I don't think it was used too much. And just a point of interest, the boat I have it on in the picture was made by Cadillac (Not the one that made cars!) in the 1950's. I want to strip all that paint that someone sprayed on the boat off, and...

    Now I'm debating whether to try to weld/solder the tube to try to save on the project, or buy a new one.

    I just got it out. I used some heat, then I had to knock out the bushing that tightens it and holds it in, then I got a large bolt and screwed it into the broken copper tube piece and pried on that, and the tubing piece came right out.

    Thanks! I'll try to get it out today.

    So it can come out either upwards or downwards?

    That makes plenty of sense. The only issue is, Idk how it is installed on this model, so I'll just try to explain it better. I have the power head off, and the entire gearcase off, so all that's left is the lower unit housing. The water tube comes up inside of the housing, and then for the last...

    I sprayed it with PB Blaster, so that should help if I can find out how to get it out.

    Soooo.... like I mentioned, someone broke the water tube. It broke right beneath the bushing/nut at the top of the lower unit. I looked in the manual, and I looked online, but I can't for the life of me find out how to get the remaining piece out. Can I hammer it out downwards, into the lower...

    Thanks for the tip! I will make sure to remove all of the pb blaster. It'd sure be nice if new hoses and fixing the tank fixed the running issue. Fingers crossed!

    I got the bearing fixed! I spent two hours with my finger in the hole exercising it. I used PB Blaster, and I finally got it to move a little bit, and then some more, and then once it was moving good I moved it back and forth until it was 100% smooth.

    Also, the roller bearing above the thrust bearing is stuck. It's not rusted, and it looks fine, so I don't know why. I'm trying to find out in the manual how to get it out.

    1957 Johnson Rd-19 35hp questions

    I found another problem. I was looking at the end of the water tube, which came out when I took the thing apart, and noticed it looks broken. So I looked in the manual, and it looks like it wasn't supposed to come out at all? From what I gather it is supposed to be held in by a gland nut. I...

    That's the one I have. All 691 pages of it!

    Thanks! I'd be sunk without their help. I tried researching, but it's so old there's not a lot on them other than in the manual. Now I think I'm almost done. I can't wait to get it on the water!
