Chorehorse question.

[Bruce MacMillan]

Mine was red, made by Outboard Marine & Manufacturing.

[Jordan Baker]

Thanks Bruce.

On futher inspection I found traces of red inside some of the small letters.

I also found a nice C Broad Arrow stamped into the generator housing. It was under a few layers of paint.

As for the restoration I stripped the unit down into individual pieces and sub assemblies. Ran most of them through the sandblasting cabinet and then used a rattle can of green to paint it. I do need to replace the spark plug cable. But that will come another day.

[Jordan Baker]

Things are coming together. Thankfully no bits were left over.

[Jordan Baker]

The nice little stamped C.

[Robert Bergeron]

Nice job Jordan.

You know they start with the batteries you want to charge don't you ?

Easy to start as eating icecream.

Just touch that contact button and away it goes.

Then you adjust the carburator and it can go on till the fuel tank is empty.

What a nice , sturdy and usefull piece of kit !

Cheers.

Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, you're killing me. I wanted to show Bob, Mister Fussy, that works for me, what a wonderful job you are doing on the chore horse. He pointed out that I had owned the chore horse for years and never did anything to it while you have owned it a week and have done a nice job restoring it. That is until he spotted that blue Marrette connector. Please help me out here Jordan and replace that so I don't have to listen to him anymore.

Robert. Yeah I've been told about the battery start with the push button. I simply ran out of time yesterday afternoon due to having to go to work in the evening.


Barry, please let your mister fussy know he's got a point. It's only been a short week for me working on this piece. However tomorrow night I gain an extra hour......who knows what I'll accomplish with that free time......maybe just maybe I can swap out the offending blue marrette for something more vintage. I think I have some porcelain ones kicking around. . And by "swap" I mean to say replace what I found in place by a previous owner. Not wanting to point fingers but *cough* Barry Churcher *cough* it was yours previously.

Although I'm still trying to figure out what the modern toggle switch is for. It has been wired into the electrical contraption that sits below the amp meter.
