Montgomery Wards 7.5 Hp motor Model VWB-52175

[Rey3475]

I work on JohnRudes for fun in my retirement, and 'am pretty comfortable with them. I just picked up a decent looking Wards (Chrysler) 7.5 Hp motor...Model VWB-52175 (Yr. ??). I'm told it "just needs an impeller", so I'll start there. It also needs a gas hose fitting to match the one on the motor, so I'm looking for that. I was surprised how much the fitting looks like the one on my Honda gas tank. I think at this point, I just need a source for parts for this motor. I'm sure I'll start asking questions later. Thanks, Rey

PS; I don't intend to keep this motor, so if anyone is interested....I'm on Whidbey Isl., WA.

Its a 1978, manufactured by Chrysler as you say.
