Looks like it might be circa-'65. The little black model/serial number plate that's visible in your picture, at the back of the port-side transom clamp, will have the model # you'll need to figure out the exact year.

Here's a model/year guide for Johnson outboards:

The beauty of these motors is the simplicity of them and the interchangeability of parts from year to year. A little expensive on fuel but cheap to own and maintain these motors.

Check the gear oil frequently & shift at low RPM to save clutch dogs. But like he says, they like fuel. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
