Hi everyone, I just bought a motor and the previous owner told me that it's a 1975 9.8HP motor. On the motor cover there is a label with the number 75 and then on the crowl there is a 9.8hp label. After reading this forum I noticed that there is a 75 model which is a 7.5HP motor and a 110 model which is a 9.8HP. My question is the 75 label stand for the year or does it stand for the model? If it stand for the model then that mean my motor is really a 7.5HP. I would find it odd to have the year on the motor cover. Or maybe someone took a 75 motor cover and put it on my motor? <br /><br />Is there a way to tell for sure what motor I have?
