connection rod Johnson iron horse
 

Dear All,

I have had a little accident with my Johnson chore horse. A bolt came out on the connection rod, resulting in a big mess. Now i need a new / used connection rod to get this small ww2 generator / battery charger going again.

I am located in The Netherlands but this shouldn't be an issue.

Hope someone can help me out or point me in the direction of a possible source.

Part number on part says: 74-1056/8, but i think all johnson iron horse connection rods are the same.

Thanks peter

I have a few NOS rods somewhere. Will take me a while to find them. Mike

Ok
 

Found the rods. This rod fits the Canadian chorehorse 300 watt model. I got a few nos chorehorse bits from Bill Drew in the early 1980's he had a large amount of it. Think it was all scrapped as the yard was closed due to family issues

Peter,

I sent you a message yesterday, but I think it might have got lost in cyber space.....

Brian Asbury (BCA here on MLU) in Canada has/had Chorse horse spares for sale.

Stefan at LWDparts (Broek op Langedijk) had some Chore horses and also incomplete units for sale a while ago.

Hi Thanks for your response.

I will contact the parts guy in the Netherlands first. Thanks for the tip Alex.

If that has no results i will contact you Mike. Does the connecting rod you have Mike the part number on it??

My unit is probably an iron horse in lisence by BSA.

Thanks again

trying to add picture!

Dear All,

i found a connection rod! it is still in a junk motor and looks to be a little different but i think i can make it work.

Thanks for your support , have a great day. I' ll let you know if it all worked out.
