Johnson 135 ESL73M lower unit needed

[okiekee]

New to the forum. Can anyone offer a suggestion where I might be able to find a working lower unit for a Johnson 135 ESL73M outboard I've inherited. I have checked various places but no luck. The motor probably has less than 100 hrs, but the service tech found gear case metal shavings in the oil and parts are not available I'm told. Thanks for any suggestions.

Have you called marineengine? They might have a complete new or rebuilt unit.

Try E-Bay or Craigslist.
