Chore Horse

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

These Johnson 300 watt generators are all WW2 Canadian made. If you're lucky, they are original 12-15 volt with WW2 data plates. The more common condition is painted shiny (ik) NATO green, converted to 24V and given a new PU-5008/U designation and data plate (...for the C42 set Skag). Under the (ik) NATO green and you'll find the original brown or, on later production, olive drab paint. Look carefully on the flywheel cover for the triligual 'Canada' decal. These are most likely equiped with a metal cage for ground use; vehicle mounted sets had these removed. Accessories include a small metal tool box (spark plugs, pull ropes, brushes), a goose neck exhaust with a small muffler and a canvas waterproof cover. Most interesting is that I've never seen a seized one, odd given most haven't been run in 20 odd years.
