need help finding gears and clutch dog, '81 35hp Johnson

Hey guys, me and a friend tore down my lower unit last night and found that I need a new forward gear, reverse gear, and a clutch dog. I found prices for new and will cost $600 just for parts, ouch. I found some used gears and a new clutch dog for around $300, still ouch, just without the stinging. I was just wondering if anyone on here knew where I might find a good lower unit for parts for this model or if any of ya'll had some parts lying around you could get rid of. Also, does anyone know through what years did Johnson keep this same setup? Also, does long or short shaft make a difference if I just need the gear/clutch dog? Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to Twin City Outboard - Parts from 1906 to Present


there's a couple of places you can check. i'm sure others will have other places to check.

Deep fried, Good to see you still around. Last I heard, you were up in Piney. I would probably be looking to upgrade motors, before putting 3 to 600 in old motor. I've seen some come across here that weren't that high. If compression is still good that johnson still got some good miles in it though.

Thanks guys, I'll check all those links and see what I can find. And I'm still around steve, just haven't had much time to be on the site here lately. Between rebuilding a chainsaw, a boat motor, and fixing a wrecked truck, it's been non-stop here lately, lol. I have thought about getting another motor but would really rather just fix this one. It starts and runs beautifully. And really, I've heard these model Johnsons are hard to beat. Anyways, thanks again for the helps guys, hopeully I can find some good parts for a little cheaper. I need to have this thing on the water catching crappie.
