Bruce, the Johnson motor by itself was known as the Johnson Iron Horse so that's likely how the Chorehorse label came to be used. I thought just the Johnson generators were labeled Chorehorse.

My NOS chorehorse came in its shipping crate with all accessories . From Canada to Aust. - when ?
For years Aussie disposals had the NOS starting rope and wooden handle for 50 cents or something.

Early production definitely had the Johnson designation "Chore Horse" on the data plate and manual. The date on this CHI 395-4 is: 1-12-43
