bc.gold 3,406 #1 Posted September 4, 2019 Talking with Terry the landfill custodian the other evening, got more than I bargained for. Large copper coil for the oil still an old Johnson outboard engine and a demonstration of his copper chopper. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,406 #2 Posted September 4, 2019 I think my outboard maybe slightly older as the throttle is adjusted at the carburetor. The serial number will tell the story. http://www.mercguy.com/1936_Johnson_P80.htm 22 hp @ 4000 rpm Serial number 250344 This is the largest and most expensive motor Johnson offered at the time. It would have been beyond the reach of all but the wealthy during the great depression. I purchased this motor about 1990 from a local person I had done business with. I just did some cleanup, lubing, and cleaned the points and ran this original motor for the first time in 1993. I have continued to use it occasionally since. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,406 #3 Posted September 4, 2019 While visiting with Terry picked a few wild rose hips, the seeds once removed from the husks are cold pressed to get the oil, Terry said when they were kids would eat the husks. My dad also made a wine from rose hips. A google search informs me that one spoon full of husks has the equivalent of five oranges in vitamin C. You can eat the husks raw of use them in cooking.
