Gentlemen: I have a couple of questions on a 1943 (according to serial number) M that I bought at a sale a couple months ago. Bought it because the bids were so low, got it for $600 with an F-11 loader on it. After looking at it more closely, wondering if it is the original engine, the engine in it has a dipstick for the engine oil level, as well as the two petcocks in the oil pan. Also has a crankcase breather pipe just in front of the tall skinny oil filter. Looks different than my w-6 engine, I believe that is a 1950 if I remember correctly. It has a pto driven hydraulic (prince?) pump on it now, and am thinking of putting mag/dist pump on it like the w-6 has on it for live hydraulics. I know if it is a 43 I will have to put the steel cam gear in it to drive distributor and pump. Just curious mainly about the dipstick, it is marked on both sides, lower level mark for engine full when stopped, and higher mark on opposite side for when engine is running. Any ideas. Basic question is, do you think it is a 1943 engine?
