Hello all. Just got off the phone with a fellow who is selling the above model. He says that's all the numbers it has on it and he thinks it is a 1954 but wasn't really certain. I am looking for a 54 so was wondering if this model covered more than one year and if so how would I be able to tell for sure that it is a 54. I have no pictures but it is green which I think a 54 is. As always thanks for any help. Rick.

JW-10 3 1952-54 , not sure if paint schemes differed, but same motor for the model years.

He said the number is 180439 but that doesn't look like anything posted above. I will be seeing it later today if he still has it. I will post then. Thanks, Rick.

Well I bought it. The plate says JW-10 and the serial number is 180439. No way this is being misread. There are only six digits. What next? Rick.

Hey Rick, I tried to grab that motor myself and was told it had just been taken, the kijiji ad with no pics, just thought I'd say congrats, was it in pretty good condition, best of luck with your new prize.

"Ah its a Canadian Built motor". That should say "its a Canadian built motor eh." LOL. I saw it was from Peterborough which kind of made me glad. I really appreciate your help. Haven't had the cowl off but it looks to be in good shape.

Asking price was two hundred OBO. I offered 140 and he grabbed it. Probably could have go it for less but I'm happy with what I paid. Very seldom do you see these old ones for sale in our neck of the woods. Rick.

Re: What year is a Johnson JW-10 - 3HP

Wow, nice score Rick, I must say I'm a little mad at myself for not nabbing that one, would have looked pretty nice beside my cd11, I'm amazed at the condition of the decals and the overall condition of it, probably very low hours, or just well cared for. From now on I'm going to have to move a little faster knowing your out there looking at the same ads, again good job, that is a nice little gem, talk to ya later eh, lol.

Re: What year is a Johnson JW-10 - 3HP

I am real pleased with the outside condition. I can read every single decal and very few scratches/dents for it's age. Very busy, too busy right now to pull the cowl and flywheel but I can hardly wait. Still wondering what year it is and hoping it's a 54 but we will see. Rick.
