Old Firestone Motor

[lckystar]

I need help identifying an old motor that belonged to my uncle. Probably hasn't been started in 30 years, but turns easily. Think it might be a Firestone 10-A-1 but there is no id plate on it. I uses a wrap around rope pull for starting. Any information will be appreciated. Also, where to find a manual. Gas tank has a crack, but I remember my uncle starting it in his garage the last time. I want to try to get it running.

you are missing 2 more numbers at the end. Up till 59 they were made by Scott Atwater and last couple years by West Bend. I restored the one in my profile pic and I sent you a private message

There is no id plate on it. I'm 75 and I remember my uncle taking us fishing with it when I was probably 8-10 yrs old

I see you are in Ellaville. I'm only 45 miles away, between Perry and Hawkinsville

Where did the 10-A-1 come from. Thats a good number but missing 2 numbers.
1958, 59
10-A-111....3.6
10-A-112....5
10-A-120....10
10-A-114....16
10-A-121, 122, 123....39.1

I don't really know. I think it is just the 3.6 hp.

thats looks like a Scott built 3.6 hp

3.6 is what I believe also. Has a crack in fuel tank but I remember my uncle starting it in a vat of water probably 20 years ago. That's the last time it ran.

That is a 4-head bolt powerhead which makes it a 3.5 hp.1946 i believe
