Hi Y'all!
I recently acquired a (1979) Case 1816B Uniloader but I'm having problems identifying the engine, in doing the research and according to the serial #, the engine should be a Tecumseh, well, it's not. In doing more research, it looks like it could be an Onan, but then yesterday, in talking to my lawnmower mechanic and showing him a picture of it, he's says "it looks like a Kohler" and then he proceeded to show me an old Kohler motor that he had and the dang thing looks identical to the one in my Case. There are no tags or plates on this engine and "I've searched the world over..." and still have not found any stamped or otherwise identification numbers. So my question is, does anybody know of a specific location on this motor that I can find the model, serial #? It's pretty gunked up with grease/dirt, etc. and I do plan on removing it to clean it up, but I have checked all the places I (and my lawnmower mechanic mentioned) thought the number would be and have had no luck. I did find a number 52567 R13 4L but I think that is just the part # for the piece it was on. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
