Hello Guy,
Nice Chore Horse: what is the model number? I can't read it in your photo. Perhaps CH1395-5?? The spark plug wire has been changed to a thin wire. ....... Brian

Brian, what can you tell me about mine? It has model number CH1 395-5 but has a different control knob from the others shown. Ron

[BCA]

Ron: Maybe the knob is a replacement. In addition there is a long rectangular data plate riveted on the top of the generator to the rear of the control box. What does this plate say? Never seen such a plate.

Lovely work Jordan. Makes me want to spend some time on the restoration of mine.

Here is a question; Brian commented on the pulley and gauge panel, but does anyone know more about the base colour of the sets? Did they follow the same base colours (and dates) as vehicles....Khaki green G3-early war, SCC2 born mid war, SCC15 from 1944 onwards? I think all I have seen are green....non in SSC2?

Somebody thinks this one is worth it's weight in gold it would seem, does look quite, how would you say, pretty?

Back in 2015, Brian and I were looking at whether the PU-5008/U and wartime chorehorse could be converted between 12 and 24 volts (and the other way around) and what changes needed to be made to do a conversion. At that time noone seemed to have an answer and I'm wondering if in the last few years anyone has found an answer.

Hi Brian. The brass plate has serial number G12775 and a logo with LSE. Maybe they did a refurb to the motor at some time? Ron

With the help of Charlie Fitton, we got the Chorehorse running. Next up for me is figuring out the wiring to get the generator charging.

Anyway enjoy the videos.

From memory I sold you that but with the knowledge we now have it is clearly a Canadian Engine with British Electrics. Quite when it happened is anyone's guess but now we know that there was British late war production it could still be a war-time rebuild.
