My little 25 Hp

This motor was (not thought to be but was) ran by Roy Rogers Richard A Mcderby, and I am trying to find out if it was the motor ran by Tex Fagg Sr when he won the DU class Race near Dallas TX in 1950

VERY cool!!!
I'm trying to piece together a KG-9H? 40H? for my wall.
All I need now is a dead quicky lower unit that will bolt to an H mid-housing to have enough to hang it on the wall.
It would represent the Merc Hu Entrop ran on his first R-22 cab-over, which is also on my wall.
Doc

holy s!!! what a display. cooooooool

ron, you said a mouth full. it is a cool display. and doc, I am going to run over to your place with my truck and trailer to remove some of your wall candy, I sure would hate to see your shop walls fall over with so much weight hanging on them greg

There is a Co that will cast whole motors (and parts) out of plastic.

Many restaurants have some of their work. They paint it and it is hard to tell that they are not real till you touch them.

There are a few green Johnsons, Evinrudes, Scotts and Martins that are hanging around Houston that are casting of a few of my motors. I just loaned the motors to my Customer and he paid to have the casting done. They want motors with hoods as not to have to cast all the motor parts that showed on open motors. Props are plated plastic when a brass prop was on the motor as is the chrome.

After I lost 3 motors in a restaurant fire I started to call them back in. This customer wanted the wall hangers and paid to get them made.

When I get back to town I will call on him as to see where he had them made if you are interested
