I too have a '73 Johnson 135hp, I purchased a complete system from them 2 years ago. These parts are getting hard to find, so you might have to buy it piece by piece. There is several listings on ebay for the main support plate. Keep this in mind: the '73 135 did not come with PT&T...the 135 has the bolt pattern to accept the main support plate, it'll bolt right on, but the 135 never came with PT&T. So, when searching, don't use the term '73 135hp, PT&T started in '74.
If you get lucky and find the main parts, Sea-Way Marine in Washington State should have most of the smaller rebuild parts if needed, bushings, seal kits etc. I am very familiar with that PT&T system, so if you have any questions, just message me.
There is a few special tools required to rebuild Rams and such, I have those tools...here to help any way I can

Post by: atomant on February 10, 2017, 07:20:07 PM: I looked on ebay and there is 4 or 5 listings for the main support plate. The boat motor recyclers I mentioned, they go by "scoutboards" on ebay and he has a set of the Rams you need. The listing states they only fit up to like 90hp, but that is the set of Rams you need! $350 but I paid about $600 for my whole system and had to install seals and other soft parts.
The plate and Rams are the most important parts, I looked on ebay and a lot of individual parts for this system are listed.
