Anyone recognize this old girl

[f350ca]

This old lady has been in my aunts garage for some time. She's not sure where it came from, might have been something uncle Charlie drug home. Im the new proud owner. Not sure when I'll get to restoring it but hope I live long enough to get to it. It rolls over so Im sure it would fire right up. lol
There's absolutely no markings I can find on it to indicate its lineage.









Any info would be appreciated.

Is it an old Seagull or an american make? 2 cylinder?

No clue on its lineage Mark, looked at seagulls and don't think its one. Yes two cylinder with a cast iron cylinder but aluminum every where else

DHJ your on the money !
Looks like its a Johnson Seahorse K50 8hp.
Interestingly all the pictures show Johnson cast into the top of the flywheel, mine doesn't.
Thanks

I remember seeing an old Scott-Atwater back in '76 that would have been around the same vintage. Just another name to add to your search.

It's not a Seagul, for sure.

I believe it's an early Johnson motor. Probably from the late 1920's or 1930's. Here's a link to some similar Johnson motors in a collection.
