general reference to the car. It is located on the right-hand side of the crankcase, just above the water
pump, and on the right-hand frame side bar just behind the engine support bracket as shown in Fig. No. 1.
The engine serial number has nine digits. The first two indicate the model year, the third and fourth

indicate the series, and the last
five
indicate the consecutive number of
cars
built of
