Chorehorse question.

[Jordan Baker]

So I think I found the problem about why this second Chorehorse wasn't charging. The ammeter burned up inside. I managed to take it apart last night and sure enough the brass piece had broken and burned up. I was toying with the idea of soldering it back together. However I figured these ammeters had to have been used in another application and that OMC/Johnson simply bought an off the shelf item.

I checked out tractor ones, some were close but nothing was exact. Then on a google search I stumbled onto one that looked the same and was marked for a Ford. Some more digging and these are available new made for the Model T and Model A market for $7 USD from Mac's Antique Auto
