1950's Spiegel Brooklure 500 Vintage 5hp Outboard Motor Gale Mfg. For Repair on 2040-parts.com

Here is a nice vintage Outboard Motor.  Very nicely marked "Spiegel Brooklure Chicago." on front of cover (photo #6), and marked "5 HP Brooklure 500 Model 230-51-5D"  on tag (photo #7).

This was made in early 1950's from what I found it was probably between 1951 and 1954.  Spiegels was/is a retailer.  It was made by Gale Mfg. who also made Evenrude and Johnson outboards.  This is a rather rare and quite hard to find motor.

I did not try to start it so it is being sold for parts or for repair.

Has twin cylinders, 2 plugs.  There is no starter rope.  The starter spring under the top cover seems to be working (photo #12).  I put a rope on the flywheel and pulled.  It has compression and turns the propeller shaft.  There is NO propeller but it does have the propeller nut.  There is some rust in the tank.  The hold down clamps look good.  There is NO holding pin for the motor lift/tilt.  The throttle moves from center to right but does not go past center towards the left.  Lean/rich knob turns but I do not know if it is working.  The knob below the lean/rich knob did not move.  Tiller handle folds up.  Carry handle is good.  Side shift moves but I do not know if it is working.  Gas cap is good.  Head rotates 360 degrees with no stops.

Size is about 41 x 20 x 12 inches.  Heavy it weighs about 46 pounds.

This is a very old motor, no title or paper work of any kind.

There are some dents on the motor covers. I have noted any damages, breaks, alterations, or repairs that I see.

Please see all 12 photos for cosmetic condition.  Sold as a display /collector item, but appears to be in fairly good condition.

Sold as a Local pick-up item.  I would prefer you to pick it up at my location.  Shipping might be possible and would be an additional fee.  Shipping would be expensive, over $100.  Email me for a shipping price quote if you are willing to pay full sale price plus at least $100 for shipping.  There are no returns on this item. 

 It is in as found condition and will look even better with a proper cleaning.
