1946-1949 johnson td 20 5hp


I have a few Q's are regarding the area between the power head and lower unit the main shaft

Here are the 2 little holes in the main shaft going to the lower unit i get water and exhaust sputtering out of there is this normal i believe it may be but am unsure?

then i got a grease leak on top of the lower unit under the adjustment bolt on the left in the pic

the grease leaks out ever so slightly hear between lower unit and shaft ?is there a seal or something right there?

How would i go about fixing this leak?

Water/exhaust from the ports is normal and fine.

Do you have grease in the lu or oil>?

Re: 1946 td-20

is there any seals right there?

i used grease .... corn head grease witch is pretty much very similar to lubriplat 105
made for leaky non shift irrigation gearboxes

but it seems to seep right there i havent taken it all apart i have read if it isnt broken dont fix it with these old motors
i dont want to open it all up and not be able to get it back together and i dont know how to get all the lower componets removed from the power head

the leak isnt bad but it is a concern it will let water in if it lets grease out

Re: 1946 td-20

Is that right beneath the exhaust ports where it is leaking? Are you sure it is the cornhead grease?

I have heard great things about that grease, alot of the aomci members are switching to it over the 105. I have not tried it myself yet.

Re: 1946 td-20

the 2 small exhaust ports are on the other side but it could be going down and around the top lip of the lower unit?

here is where all the oil/grease/exhaust residue or something is?

im curious if there are any type of seals in that area of the shaft?
