Chorehorse restoration project

[Jordan Baker]

A few years ago I managed to find this wartime Canadian contract Chorehorse Generator. It was made in July of 1943. Featured the Cnd weather shield and the spark plug cover. The only thing done to it was a 1950’s Canadian Army gloss green overpaint. The bonus was that it was still in its original 12v. Today I started taking it apart to strip the paint off and bring it back to its original 1943 look. It was originally painted in a variation of SCC2 as found under the data tag. I’ve been using a product called Zep industrial degreaser. The paint is coming off right down to bare metal within a few hours.
