Richard.... The 40hp engine did not exist until 1960. The 1959 model was a 35hp. List your model number and someone here will pinpoint what engine you have.
I have a 1957(8) 35hp that runs like a champ with a good tank I'll let you have for $350.00. I went through it all about four years ago. I broke my wrist last fall and can no longer pull start it so I got a 25hp elec. start.
