Not quite Freebie 8/26 Tracker-UPDATE!
My 4/20 was fun to get running so am swapping O.B. for a bigger one. Got this '61 Johnson 5.5 plus a chipper in a trade for my old Simplicity 7/24. 5 OBs & 3 blowers don't balance so 4 & 4 with a project seems good. It is an older one w/o power steering like the 4/20. May be a boat anchor but gives me something to do. Climate change has made blowers not worth much up here. I imagine the South is a hot market these days.

Got it part way stripped in an hour. Looks good -so far impeller bearing, belts, friction wheel bearings, and noisy idlers. Engine has spark and was full of clean oil. Well worth the old OB.

Coming apart nicely except for the sprocket shaft sleeve bushings. Left side plates attached and PB blaster + pipe wrench to carefully move .

I have to smile when I read "pipe wrench" and "carefully" in the same sentence. 
Been there, done that, usually works.
