Hi, bassinbill9 <br /><br />Those numbers do not click. Look on the transom bracket and see if you can come up with a 7 digit number... Browse around this site and see if anything looks familiar...<br /><br /> www.oldmercs.com<br /><br />If you would like to E-mail me a picture or two, I would be happy to post it here so that others may be able to identify it...<br /><br />rickdb1@earthlink.net

Re: i have a little old mercury i dont know the year

Here's some pics of bassinbill9's Merc. Anybody know what year it is??? <br /><br />

<br /><br />

<br /><br />Looks like this one to me:<br /><br /> web page Air cooled...<br /><br />It says the Model and serial number are stamped into the starting rope sheave on top of the flywheel. So you might check that out, as I can't see any numbers in the picture. I'm sure it's worth something to a collector, but not sure how much. Depends on how bad they want it and condition. You may just want to hang on to it, since it runs well. Post any other Number/letters that you find, if any.. Neat little motor!!
