September 10, 2019 at 4:43 pm #183016Thank you for the response – so I went out and got some low temp aluminum solder and I am going to give this a try on my own. Watched a lot of videos – will be taking this slow.
can you recommend a resource for the deals and a front cover and upper dial?September 11, 2019 at 7:19 am #183048He did my VR tank, if he starts back on tanks get him he is awesome 😎

September 12, 2019 at 4:34 pm #183201I’d suggest you use that Waterwitch for a parts motor and get a complete one, perhaps with a better tank. I successfully straightened a ‘witch tank once using air pressure (10psi). and propane torch heat and tapping around the dent simultaneously with a wood handle, with the gas cap vent open to allow some air flow during the process, with an air regulator to maintain 10psi.
If you use aluminum solder, don’t use it on your tank until you practice on junk tanks first. Results may not be as expected. The solder is very difficult to file or sand. It is also a different color.September 15, 2019 at 8:15 pm #183420ok where would you suggest looking for another 1937 Waterwitch single cylinder.
In the mean time the tank is progressing nicely.
Right now its all I have, and it runs
Do you know of any decal and handle contacts.
I have found some decals but they are the wrong year.
any help or contacts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.September 16, 2019 at 9:47 am #183434https://www.enginads.com/otto/

September 16, 2019 at 5:18 pm #183484Tubs – your the best! Ordered both. Also ordered some 1100 aluminum plate – going to tray and make a from cover.
I found this Waterwitch in the trash on Upper Greenwood Lake in NJ. The engine is a ’37 and the lake was man made in ’32.
Thank you.
