Hello exfarmer
The sticker dates it to when the Challenge Corp. had control of
Morrison. The best I can do is mid-1970s to late 1970s. It is a
fully-imported Morrison.
This is a cheapened design in that a similar system was used in
the Scott Bonnar Diplomat. There is a plastic reduction gear within
the rear roller. A single clutch does the lot.
Note: when I say 'cheapened' - I don't mean cheap. The reduction
design enabled the use of one belt (replacing three chains). The
issue now is parts availability. It appears there may be a problem
with the degradation of the plastic ring gear.
What I have been trying to find out is whether there is any commonality
between the Diplomat reduction, the Morrison, and brands still sold
today with that design concept.
Hope this helps.
