The Model A received an update in 1925 becoming the A-25 and also received a single cylinder brother the J-25 the same year. In 1926 a larger motor called the Model P and rated at 6 horsepower, was introduced. Each subsequent year more models and higher horsepower models were produced, outboarding having caught the publics fancy in a big way! Competition from rivals like Ole Evinrude's second company Elto, Lockwood and the original Evinrude firm, created a swarm of advancements in technology & horsepower. Johnson lead the way with many new features in the late 1920's; rotary valving, higher horsepower and, possibly their crowning achievement, the smooth alternate firing A and K models of 1930. (1929 was the first time the famous Sea Horse logo appeared!) [links]

Johnson Outboards 1922 - The Beginning Years Johnson outboard motors made their public debut at the New York Boat Show in January 1922. It is unlikely that the Johnson brothers; Lou, Harry, Clarence and their brother-in-law Warren Conover, had any idea of the impact their little outboard would have on the world of boating.

There were a number of other novel features incorporated in the Johnson outboard; the easy to use and reliable carburetor with three settings; Choke, Fast & Slow. A simple piston waterpump to cool the motor was employed for many years. And to keep the motor on the boat but still make it detachable in a jiffy, secure screw-type transom clamps were used.

The ability to tilt the motor up when beaching or in shallow water was also a rare on other outboards in 1922. While these features may be commonplace today, the Johnson brothers were the first to combine all of them. here

The small 2hp outboard that went on sale in 1922 had its roots in failure. After their aircraft and engine factory was destroyed in a storm, the brothers concentrated their efforts on a small two cylinder air-cooled motor that they adapted to be used as a helper engine on a bicycle. These Johnson Motor Wheels sold well for several years, but the economies of scale with which Henry Ford and others could produce automobiles rapidly eroded the market - after all, who would buy a motorized bicycle for the same cost as an automobile?

[aranaahmed1]

Typical of the determination Americans had at the time, Lou Johnson was able to adapt some of the Motor Wheel's engine to a new purpose; an outboard motor. The water cooled 2 cylinder outboard would weigh in at only 35lbs, this was about ½ that of the typical cranky rowboat motors of the day. Six pre-production motors are believed to have been produced, full-fledged production began with serial number 507. There can be no doubt that the Johnson's hit a home run when sales for their little $140 outboard topped 3324 units their first year.

First if we are talking about early gear cases that aren’t
sealed there is more to consider than just the gears.
What you choose must be fluid enough to move through
the bearings or bushings as well but not so fluid that it
just runs out. The original lubricants are no longer
produced except for Lubraplate 105 although it is not
packaged as a gear case lub. any longer. John Deere
corn head grease is also an excellent substitute for the
lubricants. In gear cases that are sealed gear oil is the
best choice because it can easily get to the bearings or
bushings as well as protect the gears without leaking out.
If you have a sealed gear case and the seals have failed
that must be addressed.
If for some reason it can’t be repaired 105 or corn head
grease may be an option but if you can keep the water
out gear oil is always the best choice. here

corn head grease apparently liquifies when ..working then gels up again after it stops working under load. more

What grease should be put in the lower unit of a 1949 Johnson TD 20 5hp.

[bbking2010]

in any event don’t worry about it and use quality 90 grade marine products and recheck for leaks during mid season .I doubt a quality marine oil is cause for concern . more

[mr1337357]

I put Lubriplate 105 in all my non shift motors.

That was one of Johnson’s largest selling outboards. . . 🙂

I recently acquired a 1947 TD 20 Johnson Sea Horse. The motor is in really good shape but needs a little work. There was no spark so I opened it up and tested what I could. The coils seem ok. They have continuity anyway. The points however are black and pitted. I’m hoping to find somewhere that still sells them. I’ve looked all over the web and called all of my local go-to shops. Nothing.

If the oil (grease prefered) gets into the water pump, it can cause the rotor to swell. This decreases the amount of water pumped and engine overheating. The models HD and TD have the carburetor by the exhaust manifold and overheating will cause vapor lock in these models. more

Also, maybe photos or videos of these repairs and/or exploded parts drawings would be very helpful.
