"In the case of the older John

"In the case of the older Johnson's it's encoded right in the model number.

So for example in yours, 9R71R, the 9 signifies the horsepower model (9.5), one of the R's indicates "rope start" and believe the other is simply a production run letter with the 71 being the model year.

As another example 15E76 was a 1976, electric start, 15 horse. Sometimes their letter make total sense (R - rope start, E - electric start) other times they are further encoded as in 15BAL76 which was a 15 horse, (BA) Rope start with a lighting stator, L - long shaft, 15 horse - totally confused


Later on they went to more elaborate codes where the year (as 2 digits) was also "assigned" letters."
