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

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? Alex

US PE-14 model. Not exactly a chorehorse. And yes, he thinks its gold.

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.

Unfortunately, I also have the PU-5008 24 volt version so am wondering what might be needed to set it back to the 12 volt version. But, thanks for the offer.

We're in the same boat. I need to "WW2-ize" my PU-5008. It has the original brown WW2 paint under the OD so that's easy to match. The data and spec plate will be a problem, and of course the 12/24 volt issue.

I really should compare my wartime ones to the postwar rebuild ones

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6fYii3fsvE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ANu-CUxdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScHkmya_egA

Got one of my two going this morning as well. Just a bit of fresh fuel and that was about it. The other, no spark so I think the mag need a cleaning.

Chris would it be possible for you to take some pictures of the wiring behind the control panel? Ive had to replace a few wires due to insulation falling apart. I think I have it all hooked up properly but Im not too sure.

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.

I probably did buy it from you Neil (memory!). I'm happy to have a mixture of British/Canadian.....As is my carrier. Ron

Well I have managed to get some power coming from the chorehorse. However I have discovered that my relay switch does not work and I can't seem to change the output with the rheostat. However I do have a severe lack of electrical knowledge and don't really know what im doing. So it might simply be me.
I was also shown as rather nice NOS oil bath air cleaner from a chorehorse. I found it interesting that the decal was masked off and then the SCC2 was sprayed. However you can still make out the original satin black finish along the edges. For those interested, the small engine crowd has created a demand for the decals and they can be bought online. They are the same decal as used on the Universal Carrier oil bath engine crankcase breather. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151763443409...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
