O.K. 1940, first quarter H. I truly believe it was ordered as a single fuel gas setup. Square channel seat is still there in a weird form. McCormic-Deering label is still on the hood. Factory rubber & rims, looks original, never had fluid in them. So what I need to know is: Shutter control rod mounted where exactly? What was avl as an option vs standard equipment. Intake manifold number? Head casting number? What cast iron pistons would have been put in a "true" gasoline model this early? Would it have had a mag ignition, or was electric start and lights avl from the start. It has modern replacement lights so I don't really know what was there originally. Will one of Guy's books give me all of these details? which one or do I need everyone he ever wrote? Any other specific detail, no matter how minor that you have come across during your adventures. I need to replace the frame rails. Do these also have casting dates on them? This one I want to put back together completely as stock if possible; just to say I did it once; & leave grand children something special to remember. I don't want to raise a rucuss over whether a single gas fuel version was ever released this early, I believe it was and resides in Crete NE now. Guy if you are out there reading this -- uh what do you say? So can you fellers help me out here. I've worked on more Green iron up to now. Yea, I was younger and more impressionable back when. JD seemed like the whole world and our 4020 is still king of the hill. Thx SKK
